(Monday, 1st April 2002)
The analytical framework of this lecture is about real rights and the role of consent. The lecture will first explore which legal solutions are applied in contract and property law across different assets, traders and transactions it will then compare the ideal regimes of purely private transactions and publicity. The analysis will allow to identify organizational patterns common to both of these systems and to provide a basis for analyzing their comparative performance and developing policy implications, some of which will also be explored.
