and Economics
Todd Zywicki*
We are pleased to present in this volume of Supreme Court Economic
Review a symposium on behavioral law and economics. Most of the
papers presented herein were originally written and presented at a
conference co-sponsored by the George Mason Law and Economics
Center and the Liberty Fund and held in Captiva Island February
2012.1 In addition, the papers have been supplemented by additional
papers related to the topic.
Taken together, the papers included here present one of the most
comprehensive and far-reaching analyses of the current state of
behavioral law and economics. In particular, unlike many prior col-
lections of papers on behavioral law and economics, the papers col-
lected here include a wide variety of perspectives, from both enthu-
siasts for the behavioral law and economics research paradigm, as
well as others who draw more skeptical conclusions. In addition, the
papers presented here rely heavily on empirical analysis, as opposed
to the anecdotal and non-empirical nature of much behavioral law
and economics research. The variety of perspectives represented here
appraise the current state of knowledge of behavioral law and eco-
nomics and identify some of the challenges for the research para-
digm going forward.
The volume starts off with an overview essay by Thomas S. Ulen,
one of the founding fathers of behavioral law and economics, Behav-
George Mason University Foundation Professor of Law, George Mason Univer-
sity School of Law.
Some of the papers presented at the conference were previously committed to
publication elsewhere.
