法律经济学的学科定位与设置

On the Discipline Preposition and Opening of Legal Economics

法律经济学作为经济学与法学的边缘学科,应分属于经济学范畴和法学范畴,可以定位为理论经济学或应用法学,在不同范畴内有各自的研究特点。法律经济学课程的设置是呼应国际性"法律经济学运动"的必然结果,是适应社会主义市场经济发展的必然要求。它以经济学的方法、原理及观点来分析法律问题,实现了经济与法律的有效融合,较好地解决了法学院学生不懂经济,经济学院学生不懂法的尴尬局面。

Legal Economics, which is an interdisciplinary subject, should be put into the categories of Economics and Law, and can also be propositioned into the category of theoretical economics or applied law with its respective study characteristics in its own category. The opening of Legal Economics is a reasonable result of the respond to the international ＂legal economics movement＂ and a must requirement of satisfying the development of socialist market economy. By making analysis of the legal problems by means of economics methods, principles and perspectives, Legal Economics manages to achieve the effective combination of economy and law, avoiding, to a great extent, the embarrassing situation that students from law school fail to have a good understanding of economics while students from economics school fail to have good knowledge of law.
