Institutional Economics: Then and Now
回顾了美国制度主义在两次世界大战间的兴衰，并与新制度经济学比较，指出两者虽无直接联系但存在有趣的共同点，适合对制度经济学发展史感兴趣的学者。
This article gives a history of American institutionalism, and a brief comparison with the more recent “new” institutional economics. Institutionalism was a significant element in American economics between the Wars, but declined rapidly thereafter. The article outlines the movement's initial appeal, its contributions, and the reasons for its decline. Although the “new” institutionalism has few direct ties to the older tradition, some interesting commonalities are found and discussed. Links to the “new institutionalism” in sociology and political science, and to historical work on other “institutional” traditions are also mentioned.
