Outline of Final Research Achievements

This research explores fundamental theoretical analysis of default rules in contract law. A key aspect of this research is functional analysis of default rules. Default rules have functions to reduce transaction costs, to solve the problem of asymmetric information and to help parties make rational decisions. From this point of view, default rules should fill gaps of contracts based on hypothetical bargains and lead party's decision making in some cases. This might sound ambivalent, but analysis of this research suggests that both are justified from a perspective, social welfare.
