ABOUT THE INDIAN ASSOCIATION OF LAW AND ECONOMICS ASSOCIATION

The Indian Association of Law and Economics Association (IALE) was formed at the International Conference on Law and Economics, on 3-4 September 2016 at IIT Kanpur. At the said conference, IALE was conceptualized by the Consortium of Indian Institute of Technology Kanpur, Gujarat National Law University, Gandhinagar and the Indian Institute of Management, Ahmadabad. The Association works on socio-economic-legal and technological challenges relevant at the National and International levels through research initiatives and policy research through conferences, seminars and workshops.

ABOUT THE CONFERENCE

The field of economic analysis of law or the microeconomic analysis of efficiency in particular has arguably emerged as one of the influential theories of jurisprudence since the 1960s. The discipline has been steadily making inroads into India as scholars and policy-makers note how comparative law lends itself to the comparative economic analysis of law. Law and Economics have come to be more closely related in the globalized world. While the language and reasoning of economic analysis started appearing in the Indian courts only recently, the discipline can provide relevant and deeper insights to a number of contemporary Indian legal issues. Economics renders a practical way of assessing the effectiveness of laws and policy which further assists the state in achieving the objective of economic development and overall growth. Hence, it is essential to acknowledge the related law and economics shared in the new world order.
