Kaplow
Louis Kaplow
Law-and-economics scholar of welfare, taxation, and competition policy
Official Source Note
Harvard Law School lists Kaplow as Finn M. W. Caspersen and Household International Professor of Law and Economics and describes his scholarship in taxation, antitrust, law and economics, welfare economics, and moral philosophy.
Kaplow is included because his work with Steven Shavell makes the normative criterion of welfare analysis explicit and gives readers a rigorous reference point for debates over efficiency, distribution, and fairness.
