INSTITUTIONS, ECONOMICS AND THE DEVELOPMENT QUEST
分析制度文献，解释为何制度视角在发展经济学中比其它方法更有效，强调新制度经济学是理解发展问题的合适框架。
Abstract Institutions crucial for the analysis of how agents deal with uncertainty have been gaining increasing relevance on the economic research agenda. In this paper, we analyze the institutional literature aiming to explain why this perspective obtains better results than others in development economics. In particular, we stress the relevance of New Institutional Economics as an adequate framework for a broad understanding of development issues.
