Abstract
The section 1.3.1, “Requests for Empirical Research”, reveals that many participants in the academic debate on the European contract law have asked for quantitative research on the relevant issues. In the past these issues have been addressed only by a few descriptive surveys. No other relevant secondary data, e.g. quantitative economic data, court records, contract records have been reported. The statistical analysis presented in this book is therefore based on the data gathered in one of these surveys which is entitled “Civil Justice and Choice of Contract Law: A Business Survey”. I contributed to this survey by creating the research design and organizing the data collection and the computation of the results. Survey research as it is known today is a relatively new research methodology that became increasingly popular in the 1930s.
