Abstract
This note concentrates on the state of ‘law and economics’ in Austria after the
emergence of the economic analysis of law. The long tradition of research in
bringing together legal and economic aspects particularly in the field of
regulation and dating back to the eighteenth century is also adressed. Moreover,
some reasons why modern law and economics have encountered a fairly weak
reception for almost two decades are suggested. Finally, the quite encouraging
development both in teaching and research during the 1990s is emphasized.
