Abstract
The article presents a survey on the adoption and evolution of economic analysis of law in Taiwan’s legal studies. Tracing its earlier introduction into Taiwan during the 1990s, returning scholars with post-graduate training in the United States drove the movement of law and economics literature during the pioneer period before peaking in the mid-2000s. However, there seems to be a gradual decline subsequent since 2006. Despite reduced explicit publications, this article argues that economic concepts continue to influence legal research implicitly with certain core economic concepts often cited in research papers. The article provides an overview of academic literature, examines corporate and financial law fields, judicial incorporation of economic analysis, and university courses, concluding that economic analysis has become an integral component of Taiwan’s legal scholarship.
