Abstrak Hukum dan Ekonomi merupakan salah satu disiplin dalam ilmu hukum yang menawarkan pengutamaan efisiensi ekonomi sebagai kaidah hukum dalam mengarahkan praktik hukum. Dengan melakukan konseptualisasi lebih lanjut, efisiensi ekonomi juga membantu dalam menilai dan melakukan penilaian terhadap hukum. Salah satu bentuk efisiensi ekonomi dalam tulisan ini adalah pendekatan ekonomis terhadap hukum dalam merumuskan keuntungan yang dihasilkan hukum. Dalam hal ini efisiensi ekonomi mengubah hukum sebagai insentif dalam mengubah perilaku manusia seperti halnya mempertahankan perilaku yang sudah sejalan dengan tujuan-tujuan hukum. Hukum seyogianya menentukan upaya perbaikan melalui penghukuman dan penghargaan sebagai insentif untuk mengungkap aspek-aspek tertentu atau krusial dari ilmu hukum.Abstract Law and Economics is one of the disciplines in the jurisprudence that offers the primacy of economic efficiency as the rule of law in directing the practice of law. With further conceptualization, economic efficiency is also useful in judging and assessing the law. One relevant form of economic efficiency discussed in this paper is the economic approach to law in formulating the expected profit of the law. In this case, economic efficiency transforms law into an incentive to change human behaviors as well as to maintain certain behaviors that are already in line with the objectives of the law. Laws should determine remedies by way of punishment and rewards as an incentive to reveal certain crucial aspects of jurisprudence.

This chapter provides a brief introduction to intellectual property (IP) social justice theory and guidance on how to research social justice issues in IP. Included are tips for finding social justice issues in IP law and administration; a toolkit for addressing such issues; and examples of the process in use. IP social justice examines IP law and administration to determine rules and processes that adversely affect equality with particular focus on access to IP; inclusion in the benefits that flow from IP creation, use, and exploitation; and empowerment of marginalized groups within society who are not fully benefiting from both IP they have generated and use of IP created by others. This chapter provides tips on spotting and addressing IP social justice issues both with respect to implementation and with respect to normative aspects.

Regional Redistribution

Zusammenfassung Obwohl zur Angleichung regionaler Unterschiede in den Wirtschafts- und Lebensverhältnissen von der Politik regelmäßig Fördermaßnahmen eingesetzt werden, legen empirische Befunde nahe, dass deren Wirkung aus verschiedenen Perspektiven heraus beurteilt werden muss. Unter Rückgriff auf unterschiedliche Datenquellen zeigen wir empirisch, dass sich die Legitimität regionaler Umverteilungsmaßnahmen weniger aus ihrer (ökonomischen) Effizienz als der auf Gerechtigkeitsnormen beruhenden Einstellung der Bevölkerung speist. Vor dem Hintergrund der Befragungsergebnisse können die Effizienzeinbußen einer auf die schwächeren Regionen ausgerichteten Ausgleichspolitik allerdings als in der Bevölkerung mehrheitlich akzeptierte Kosten gewünschter Bedarfsgerechtigkeit angesehen werden. Abstract: Justice Beats Efficiency: Principles of Regional Redistribution Although policy makers have used various place-based policies to reduce regional differences in economic and living conditions, it has been empirically proven that their impact should be reflected from different perspectives. Using various sources of data, we empirically show that the legitimacy of regional redistributive measures derives less from their (economic) efficiency than from the attitudes of the population based on fairness norms. The results of our survey show that the loss of efficiency of a redistributive policy aimed at the weaker regions can be considered as the costs of social justice that are generally accepted by the public.

This paper focuses on the normative analysis of intellectual property rights, in light of the technological revolution of the Internet and accompanying technologies. After a brief overview of the various philosophical justifications for awarding intellectual property rights, it identifies two major Law and Economics paradigms for the analysis of intellectual property: the incentives paradigm, which is founded upon the public goods analysis of neo-classical microeconomic theory, and the tragedy of the commons literature, which is based on the economic analysis of externalities. The paper raises several points of critique towards both frameworks of analysis and especially towards their inability to point to the desirable extent of intellectual property rights (IPR) and the direction of their reform required as the result of the recent technological revolution. It further criticizes the dominant contemporary Law and Economics writings in this field as shifting to a new proprietary paradigm that pre-assumes information to be an object of property, overlooking its fundamental differences from physical property and focusing on its management rather than on its initial justifications. The paper is concluded with some tentative thoughts on the general notion of “Property Rights” in light of the contemporary approach concerning intellectual property.
