Retsøkonomi

Retsøkonomi er den økonomiske analyse af retten som den er (positiv retsøkonomi) og retten som den bør være (normativ retsøkonomi). Til forskel fra andre retsteoretiske analysemetoder, der ligeledes forsøger at beskrive effekterne af den retlige regulering i samfundet, fokuserer den retsøkonomiske metode på økonomisk efficiens.

Noget forsimplet kan en efficient juridisk situation siges at indtræffe, når den part til en tvist, der ville være villig til at betale mest for et gunstigt resultat, hvis tvisten ikke skulle afgøres af domstolene men i stedet afvikles som en normal transaktion i markedsøkonomien, også vinder tvisten ved domstolene.
