Abstract

As one of the organizers of the University of Akron School of Law Symposium on Law and Socio-Economics, I have been given the opportunity to provide some concluding remarks to round out this excellent collection of papers. Accordingly, in the following pages I have broken the Symposium articles into three groups for review: (1) those that can be read as challenging mainstream economic models, (2) those that can be read as challenging mainstream policy conclusions, and (3) those that provide a good example of both. I do not claim to have applied these demarcations perfectly. More likely, each of the papers can be read to have something important to say about both economic modeling and policy. Nonetheless, I hope reviewing the Symposium articles in this way may be interesting and/or helpful to at least some readers.

Keywords: economics, economic models, economic policy
