Description
Book SynopsisEconomic governance institutions (rules, norms and enforcement practices) define the cost and incentive structures that influence the decisions of economic actors.
Trade Review'This book is a welcome addition to the lively field of economic governance. The editors give a thoughtful review of ideas and landmarks in the literature and an organizing framework; the other chapters are a good mixture of theoretical, empirical, and case studies. The whole will significantly advance our understanding of institutions and economic performance.' --- Avinash Dixit, Princeton University, US
