Law and Economics Scholarship in Malaysia

Abstract This article reports law and economics activities from Malaysia or by Malaysians. It surveys the resulting literature and identifies selected personalities who have contributed to advancing law and economics research in Malaysia. Other past activities, such as organising an online conference for the Asian Law and Economics Association in 2020, are recounted. It notes the extent to which Malaysian universities offer law and economics courses. The Malaysian government’s requirement for regulatory impact statements is the right direction to instill further interest in law and economics in government officers. Finally, some existing challenges and opportunities for future development are examined for future actions.
