The Journal of Law, Economics, and Organization ( JLEO ) is an economics journal that focuses on the intersection between law and economics. JLEO is published by Oxford University Press in its series Oxford Journals with a frequency of four issues per year.
history
The Journal of Law, Economics, and Organization was first published in 1985, but at that time only with a frequency of two issues per year. The annual number of publications increased to three in 2007 and four in 2012. The first editor and current honorary editor is the noted institutional economist Oliver Williamson .
In memory of him, the Journal has been awarding the Williamson Prize since 2011 , which is endowed with US $ 1,500. This means that the most original and innovative publication of the previous year is chosen every year. The selection committee consists of the editor and the co-editors.
Content
The Journal of Law, Economics, and Organization sees itself as a specialist journal with an interdisciplinary approach and aims to promote the understanding of many complex phenomena through their analysis using a combination of legal, economic and organizational theory perspectives. In this connection the term organization is used broadly, so that it includes topics from the fields of political science , psychology and sociology . Furthermore, the journal considers the investigation of institutions - particularly economic, legal and political institutions - to be extremely important and promotes corresponding analyzes.
editorial staff
The editorial staff of the Journal of Law, Economics, and Organization is currently (2015) headed by Wouter Dessein . He is supported by the six co-editors Andrew Daughety , Lee Epstein , Raymond Fisman , Daniel Ho , Daniel Paravisini , Joel Watson and Julie Wulf , an editorial assistant and a 31-member editorial board.
