The Law and Finance Project

The Law and Finance Project examines how different legal systems impact economic development and financial practices globally. It analyzes how the strength, efficiency, and transparency of laws—especially those related to property rights, contracts, and business regulations—shape investment, entrepreneurship, and economic growth. By comparing countries’ legal frameworks, the project identifies ways legal institutions foster or hinder financial stability and prosperity. Its goal is to inform policymakers, lawyers, and economists on creating legal environments that support sustainable economic progress.
