Aims

The Homo Juridicus research project has the following aims and objectives:
  1. We want to provide state-of-the-art knowledge about how law shapes behaviour.
  2. We assess how those who operate legal rules think they can shape behaviour.
  3. We analyse to what extent these behavioural assumptions in practice are aligned with scientific evidence. If misalignments are found, we want to understand why they exist.
  4. We develop a behavioral jurisprudence that corrects the law’s assumptions about behavioural change.
