    Uno de los componentes centrales del análisis económico del Derecho de Contratos es la teoría del incumplimiento eficiente. Este trabajo constituye una crítica a esa teoría. Al respecto, y partiendo de un punto de vista instrumentalista, consistente con el análisis económico, el trabajo argumenta que el incumplimiento eficiente es una aproximación inadecuada para el análisis de los remedios frente al incumplimiento.

    The theory of efficient breach of contract is one of the core components of the economic analysis of contract law. This paper makes a review of this theory. On this respect, and starting from an instrumentalist perspective, consistent with law and economics, the paper claims that efficient breach is an inadequate approach towards the analysis of remedies for breach of contract.
