Economic Analysis of Property Rights

Klappentext This is a study of the way individuals organise the use of resources in order to maximise the value of their economic rights over these resources. Zusammenfassung The cost of measuring accurately all assets' attributes is prohibitive. Therefore! rights are never fully delineated and others may appropriate one's assets. This study offers a unified theoretical structure to analyse exchange and formation of economic rights. The central question is how people allocate resources and organise their activities to maximise the value of their rights. Inhaltsverzeichnis Introduction; 1. The property rights model; 2.
