Somanathan Summary The definitive reference on the most current economics of development and institutions. The essential role that institutions play in understanding economic development has long been recognized across the social sciences, including in economics. Academic and policy interest in this subject has never been higher. The Handbook of Economic Development and Institutions is the first to bring together in one single volume the most cutting-edge work in this area by the best-known international economists. The volume's editors, themselves leading scholars in the discipline, provide a comprehensive introduction, and the stellar contributors offer up-to-date analysis into institutional change and its interactions with the dynamics of economic development. This book focuses on three critical issues: the definitions of institutions in order to argue for a causal link to development, the complex interplay between formal and informal institutions, and the evolution and coevolution of institutions and their interactions with the political economy of development. Topics examined include the relationship between institutions and growth, educational systems, the role of the media, and the intersection between traditional systems of patronage and political institutions. Each chapter-covering the frontier research in its area and pointing to new areas of research-is the product of extensive workshopping on the part of the contributors. The definitive reference work on this topic, The Handbook of Economic Development and Institutions will be essential for academics, researchers, and professionals working in the field Analysis Accountability Aid Anecdotal evidence Bribery Capital accumulation Case study Civil society Clientelism Collective action Comparative advantage Competition Consumer Corruption Decentralization Decision-making Department for International Development Determinant Developed country Developing country Development economics Economic development Economic growth Economic inequality Economics Economist Economy Employment Endogeneity (econometrics) Endogeneity Entrepreneurship Ethnic group Export Expropriation Externality Finance Funding General equilibrium theory Governance Household Human capital Implementation Incentive Income Individualism Inefficiency Information asymmetry Infrastructure Institution Instrumental variable Insurance Investment Investor Latin America Market (economics) Market economy Market failure Measurement Meta-analysis Natural resource Norm (social) Ownership Payment Percentage point Policy Political economy Political science Politician Politics Poverty Prediction Principal-agent problem Private sector Privatization Probability Productivity Profit (economics) Provision (accounting) Provision (contracting) Public sector Regime Regulation Rent-seeking Reputation Requirement Result Right to property Risk aversion Saving Subsidy Supply (economics) Tariff Tax Technology Trade-off Transaction cost Unemployment Voting Wealth Welfare World Bank Bibliography Includes bibliographical references and index Notes Online resource; title from resource home page (ProQuest Ebook Central, viewed February 9, 2021) Subject Economic development -- Political aspects Economics -- Sociological aspects.
