THE LEGACY OF RONALD COASE IN ECONOMIC ANALYSIS

Intellectual Legacies in Modern Economics series

Edited by Steven G. Medema, Research Professor of Economics, Duke University, US

Ronald Coase, the 1991 Nobel laureate in Economics, has had a profound impact on the way that economists and others view both the firm and the relationship between the legal and economic systems.
This authoritative collection brings together the diverse body of literature that reflects Ronald Coase’s influence on economic analysis from his early work on the theory of the firm and transaction costs to Coase’s theorem and the development of the field of law and economics.

‘Steven Medema has done an excellent job in composing the first publication in the new series Intellectual Legacies in Modern Economics.’
– Mathias Erlei, Journal of Institutional and Theoretical Economics

‘. . . this is a stimulating collection of articles, both theoretical and empirically based, which reflects well on Coase’s influence in a wide range of areas. This two-volume set achieves its objectives and does justice to Coase’s contribution to both law and economics.’
——彼得•贝克审查的政治经济

‘The collection ought to be of particular interest to microeconomists with an interest in the development of economic thought.’
– John Kemp, The Manchester School
