Concept information

Preferred term

socioeconomics  

Definition(s)

  • Although people have used the term socioeconomics for more than a century in many contexts, in 1997, law teachers agreed to a statement of its methodological principles, useful for addressing law-related economic issues. This appeared in the petition that established the Section on Socio-economics of the Association of American Law Schools, which more than 120 law teachers from over fifty American law schools signed.This statement is a definition of socioeconomics and an approach to economics that suspends several critical assumptions underlying neoclassical economics.
