Institutional and Organizational Analysis: Concepts and Applications: New Approaches to Economic and Social History

Autor Eric Alston, Lee J. Alston, Bernardo Mueller, Tomas Nonnenmacher
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 23 aug 2018
What explains the great variability in economic growth and political development across countries? Institutional and organizational analysis has developed since the 1970s into a powerful toolkit, which argues that institutions and norms rather than geography, culture, or technology are the primary causes of sustainable development. Institutions are rules that recognized authorities create and enforce. Norms are rules created by long-standing patterns of behavior, shared by people in a society or organization. They combine to play a role in all organizations, including governments, firms, churches, universities, gangs, and even families. This introduction to the concepts and applications of institutional and organizational analysis uses economic history, economics, law, and political science to inform its theoretical framework. Institutional and organizational analysis becomes the basis to show why the economic and political performance of countries worldwide have not converged, and reveals the lessons to be learned from it for business, law, and public policy.

Recenzii

'These four intrepid authors develop a theory of institutional and organizational analysis of enormous ambition. Influenced by Buchanan, Coase, North and Ostrom, and Williamson, they work on a broad tapestry that crosses continents, spans centuries, and yet always maintains its focus on which set of arrangements flourish and which flounder.' Richard A. Epstein, New York University, The Hoover Institution and University of Chicago
'As a rule you can only synthesize an academic field when it is moribund. This book is the exception that proves the rule; it manages to bring together the most important ideas in institutional economics in a way which not only shows how intellectually vibrant it is, but which also opens up new research agendas. There is no better introduction.' James A. Robinson, University of Chicago
'This comprehensive introduction to the study of institutions and organizations approaches the question I have long considered in my own work: which set of institutions are most conducive to economic development? These authors provide an excellent synthesis of this essential field of study for students and scholars alike.' Hernando de Soto, Institute for Liberty and Democracy
'This is the book we've been waiting for - a comprehensive, comparative, interdisciplinary tour of the key concepts and most significant arguments that define modern political economy. The authors have assembled a remarkable volume of scope and content. It belongs on every scholar's shelf and in every student's hands.' Kenneth A. Shepsle, Harvard University
'This is a wonderful book - broad in scope (institutions, norms, organizations, and contracts), in disciplines (economics, political science, law, and history), and in methodologies (classic informal arguments, summaries of recent formal models, and incisive case studies). So many problems of collective action, productivity, development, and growth find almost no expression (not to mention solution) in neoclassical analyses of markets; Institutional and Organizational Analysis offers a way forward.' Robert Gibbons, Sloan School of Management, Massachusetts Institute of Technology
