2 Die ökonomische Analyse des Rechts untersucht Rechtsnormen auf ihre gesellschaftlichen Folgewirkungen und bedient sich dabei des methodischen Instrumentariums der Wirtschaftswissenschaften. Sie ist ein interdisziplinäres Forschungsgebiet, in dem sowohl Rechtswissenschaftler als auch Wirtschaftswissenschaftler tätig sind und das zu wesentlichen neuen Erkenntnissen über Funktion und Wirkungen von Rechtsnormen geführt hat. Die Schriftenreihe enthält Monographien zu verschiedenen Rechtsgebieten und Rechtsentwicklungen. Herausgegeben von Professor Dr. Peter Behrens Professor Dr. Thomas Eger Professor Dr. Manfred Holler Professor Dr. Claus Ott Professor Dr. Hans-Bernd Schäfer Professor Dr. Stefan Voigt Universität Hamburg, Fakultät für Rechtswissenschaft und Fakultät für Wirtschafts- und Sozialwissenschaft

5 Acknowledgements The first version of this text was accepted as a doctoral thesis by the Bucerius Law School Hamburg. In the study presented in this book my aim is to further develop and test a theory on which I had begun to work some years previously in the course of my studies at the Bucerius Law School and during a research visit to the International Institute for the Unification of Private Law in Rome. I then continued to pursue my investigations while I was studying at the London School of Economics. I would especially like to thank Prof. Dr. Hans-Bernd Schäfer of Bucerius Law School for supervising this project and tutoring me throughout my research. He encouraged me to develop a personal research interest in the field of empirical law and economics that I have decided to continue pursuing in the future. I would also very much like to thank Prof. Dr. Florian Faust of Bucerius Law School. When I asked him for advice during a challenging phase of my research project he took the time to advise me immediately despite his busy research agenda. I am furthermore very grateful to Prof. Dr. Stefan Vogenauer of the Institute of European and Comparative Law at the University of Oxford for enabling me to support his research. The statistical analysis presented in this book is based on data collected during my work as a research assistant for his project Civil Justice and Choice of Contract Law: A Business Survey. 1 I very much appreciate the valuable academic experience I gained at his institute. I would also like to express my gratitude to Prof. Dr. Stefan Voigt of the Institute of Law and Economics at the University of Hamburg for publishing this book in his series and being generous with his support. I would like to thank Prof. 1 The descriptive results of this survey are published in: Vogenauer and Hodges, 2014.
6 VI Clifford Larsen of the Bucerius Law School for stimulating my interest in legal research and Prof. Dr. Ewoud Hondius of Utrecht University for wakening my interest in European contract law. I am also grateful to Professor Shoko Suzuki of Kyoto University for supporting my international research endeavors. With her kind support I was able to broaden my research expertise to include qualitative approaches. I would like to thank the Friedrich Naumann Foundation for funding my entire doctoral research and the presentation of a paper at the Western Empirical Legal Studies Conference at University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) School of Law. And finally I would like to thank the Bucerius Law School for funding a visit to the Agora of the Association of Transnational Law Schools at New York University (NYU) School of Law to present my work in 2010.

14 Abstract This book analyses and predicts the effects that an optional European contract law would have on contracting behaviour in the European Internal Market. The book is structured as follows. In Part One: Theoretical Framework I develop my research question, situating it in the context of recent developments in European contract law and elaborating upon the economic and legal theory that serves as a rationale for the development of my line of argument. I then apply the theory that I have introduced to the context of European contract law. For this purpose I present a model which I propose to call the Cycle of European Contract Law. I use this model to analyze the competitive processes that take place in the European market for contract laws. In Part Two: Empirical Research I use empirical data to test this model and discuss the results. From this analysis I derive criteria that can be taken as a basis for decisions regarding the economic desirability of an optional European contract law that I present in Part Three: Conclusions.
