Explaining the Persistence of Informal Institutions: The Role of Informal Networks
打开非正式制度的“黑箱”，理论化非正式网络在非正式制度持续与变迁中的作用，发现相对情感性、相对封闭的网络会提高制度持续性。
The paper unpacks the “black box” of informal institutions and theorize about the role of informal networks in channeling continuity and change in informal institutions. Specifically, we argue that when informal institutions are enacted by informal networks that are “relatively affective” and “relatively closed,” their persistence is higher than the persistence of informal institutions that are enacted by “relatively open” and “relatively instrumental” networks.
