During the five decades since its origin, law and economics has provided an influential framework for addressing a wide array of areas of law ranging from judicial behaviour to contracts. This book will reflect the first-ever forum for law and economics scholars to apply the analysis and methodologies of their field to the subject of wildfire and the book brings together leading scholars to consider pertinent questions.
