This seminar will explore the economic tools used to explain and criticize corporate law. We will base our discussion and papers on the 1991 book, “The Economic Structure of Corporate Law,” by Judge Easterbrook and Dean Fischel. We will also consider challenges to the positions that they take in the book (which, for the most part, represent a conventional economic approach), including the writings of the so-called progressive movement incorporate law.
