Dean Lueck studies the economics of property rights and how legal and institutional rules shape the use of land and natural resources. His work examines topics such as agricultural contracts, land ownership and demarcation, wildlife and wilderness governance, and environmental regulation, drawing on ideas from law and economics. The research combines historical cases (from ancient Rome to early U.S. environmental agencies) with analysis of how institutions manage overlapping and contested resources.
