Association for Contract Theory

The Association for Contract Theory is a professional organization dedicated to advancing research and understanding of contract theory—the study of how agreements are designed, analyzed, and implemented in various economic and legal contexts. It brings together scholars and practitioners interested in how contracts shape relationships, influence behavior, and ensure incentives align between parties, such as employers and employees or businesses and consumers. The association promotes collaboration, dissemination of research, and discussion of best practices to improve contract design and enforcement across fields like law, economics, and business.
