The New Institutional Economics: Taking Stock, Looking Ahead
回顾了新制度经济学过去二十五年的发展，区分了四个社会分析层次，重点讨论了制度环境和治理结构，并探讨了人类行为描述、可行性、企业作为治理结构以及操作化等核心概念，最后简要提及了私有化等应用。
This paper examines the progressive development of the new institutional economics over the past quarter century. It begins by distinguishing four levels of social analysis, with special emphasis on the institutional environment and the institutions of governance. It then turns to some of the good ideas out of which the NIE works: the description of human actors, feasibility, firms as governance structures, and operationalization. Applications, including privatization, are briefly discussed. Its empirical successes, public policy applications, and other accomplishments notwithstanding, there is a vast amount of unfinished business.
