Integrated Modules
Most of the degree is mounted from existing modules in the Department
of Economics and the Faculty of Law. The aim of the program, however,
is not limited to producing graduates with two discrete areas of knowledge.
It seeks also to enable students to integrate them. Three new modules
have been designed for this program and are intended to bring together
the two disciplines. The three modules contribute towards requirements
for Honours in both Economics and Law.
All the new modules should be taken relatively late in the program.
The first, for the beginning of the third year, is a level 3000 introduction
to the combined study of Economics and Law. It is entitled EC3396
Economic Analysis of Law I, and offered by the Economics Department. The other
two modules, both specialized seminars at level 4000, should be taken
in the final year. One, offered by the Economics Department, is entitled EC4396 Economic Analysis of Law II, and the other, offered in the Law
Faculty, is entitled Topics in Law and Economics. Although Law has not
adopted the modular structure and does not have level 4000 modules, the Topics in Law and Economics module will be considered a level 4000 module
for degree requirements for the Honours degree in Economics.
In addition to the three new modules, students will be
required to choose 8MCs of Law modules that include a substantial component
of economic analysis. These are: LL4064 Comparative Competition Law,
LL4402 Corporate Insolvency, LL4015 Corporate Finance Law, LL4055
Securities Regulation, LL4199 World Trade Law, LL4136 Competition Law in
Asia, LL4167 Regulation of Financial Institutions, LL4004 Aviation Law
and Policy, LL4404 Jurisprudence, LL4405 Law of Intellectual Property,
LL4031 International Environmental Law and Policy, LL4043 Law of Marine
Insurance, LL4089 Chinese Corporate & Securities Law, LL4173 Comparative
Corporate Law, LL4174 Beyond Law and Economics: Regulatory Theory,
LL4177 Entertainment Law: Pop Iconography & Celebrity, LL4184
Financial Regulation in Times of Crisis, LL4409 International Corporate
Finance, LL4183 Competition Law and Economics, LL4186 Financial
Derivatives Law & Regulation, LL4188 Corporate Law and Finance, LL4187
Philosophical Foundations of Contract Law and LL4195 International
Economics Law & Relations
Finally, students in the program are required to do an Honours Thesis
for 8 modular credits on a topic combining the two disciplines. Where
appropriate, the thesis will be jointly supervised in the Department
of Economics and the Faculty of Law.
