Yasuda, in considering the relationship between law and economic development in his "Law and Development" (2005), argues that changes in legal institutions are triggered and justified by globalisation and efficient market. However, he does not analyse explicitly the economic effects of legal changes, leaving the basic and crucial question unanswered, that is, what kind of legal institutions contribute to economic development. This paper, despite the dominant view that the stable property right regime is a basic condition for economic growth, points out that there is no settled answer for this question. It will be argued that firstly theoretical studies tend to focus only on economic efficiency, ignoring distributional issues associated with property rights. Secondly, empirical studies inevitably involve various flaws in terms of data and assumptions. Therefore, finally, the paper suggests that as methodological issues still persist, various approaches should be explored for "Law and Development".}, pages = {19--33}, title = {法と経済発展について : 所有権と経済成長に関する諸学説の再検討}, volume = {34}, year = {2007} }
