Law and Economics

Abstract

My friend Pradeep Mehta has been a pioneer in the field of consumer rights and protection, a sound and balanced voice on trade policy and matters relating to competition law and regulatory regimes. He is also an institution builder and has created a formidable one in CUts and is in the process of repeating the exercise in the newly established CUts institute for Regulation & Competition (CiRC). His many contributions to the policy discourse have one common characteristic—they deal quite directly with the interface between law and economics. Hence, this contribution to commemorate his 65th birthday focuses on some conceptual issues relating to this link.
