Information
Aims, contents and method of the course
Information-technological, socio-economic, and legistic developments interleave in intricate ways. The interplay of technological options and implementation of legal norms defines in critical, but hardly foreseeable terms the dynamics and future perspective of entire societies. "Information Econcomis and Legislation I" discusses - based on pivotal concepts of "New Institutional Economics" (NIE) - the multifarious inter-dependencies of technological and juridical choices, and illustrates these using various case studies and scenarios of practical interest.
