This book presents the late Professor Scotchmer's contributions to the field of economics. Several leading economists and legal scholars recall her life and work, and provide authoritative introductions to eleven of her most influential papers. This book will be useful to readers interested in the history of modern economic theory.

This book presents eleven classic papers by the late Professor Suzanne Scotchmer with introductions by leading economists and legal scholars. This book introduces Scotchmer's life and work; analyses her pioneering contributions to the economics of patents and innovation incentives, with a special focus on the modern theory of cumulative innovation; and describes her pioneering work on law and economics, evolutionary game theory, and general equilibrium/club theory. This book also provides a self-contained introduction to students who want to learn more about the various fields that Professor Scotchmer worked in, with a particular focus on patent incentives and cumulative innovation.
