A decade ago, Robert Ellickson observed that "[T]he first generation of law and economics scholars has essentially accomplished the straightforward applications of the basic economic model in virtually every legal field. Current scholarship is more technical and interstitial." Robert C. Ellickson, Bringing Culture and Human Frailty to Rational Actors: A Critique of Classical Law and Economics, 65 CHI.-KENT L.
