By Ann-Sophie Vandenberghe

This book offers an economic analysis of contract law as it is applied to employment relationships.

Its goal is to analyse whether the specific rules of employment law can be considered as efficiency-enhancing by minimizing transaction costs and correcting market failures. It is argued that an efficiency case can be made for safety and health regulation, rules that impose inquiry limits in the solicitation stage, specific rules that govern the modification and termination of the employment contract and for the regulation of the covenant not to compete.

The book also proposes some specific instances in which rules of both Dutch and US employment law could be modified to reflect the improvements offered by efficiency analysis.
