Biography by Katarzyna Metelska-Szaniawska
My research concentrates on economic analysis of constitutions and is primarily empirical in nature. I am a board member of the European Public Choice Society and former vice-president of the European Association of Law and Economics. Given my cross-disciplinary research perspective on the law, bridging the study of constitutions with economics, political science, sociology, psychology, and applying a battery of empirical tools, I have been particularly enthusiastic about the emergence of the Empirical Legal Studies scientific movement and its institutionalization in the form of ESELS in Europe in recent years.
It is an honor and a pleasure to contribute to the development of this
movement as ESELS Board Member, in particular, to increasing cooperation
of ESELS with other research communities of similar interests,
developing of regional and national ELS associations/conferences/activities in Europe, actively promoting ESELS, EJELS, and other ELS-related initiatives via research networks and
social media, as well as spreading the development of ELS in Central and
Eastern Europe. I am looking forward to stimulating and fruitful
cooperation with members of the ESELS community while pursuing this
agenda and other forms of my involvement on the Board.
