Douglass C. North is Director of the Center of Political Economy and Professor of Economics and History at Washington University in St. Louis. He is a past president of the Economic History Association and Western Economics Association and a Fellow, American Academy of Arts and Sciences. He has written over sixty articles for a variety of journals and is the author of The Rise of the Western World: A New Economic History (CUP, 1973, with R.P. Thomas) and Structure and Change in Economic History (Norton, 1981). Professor North is included in Great Economists Since Keynes edited by M. Blaug (CUP, 1988 paperback ed.)
Continuing his groundbreaking analysis of economic structures, Douglass North develops an analytical framework for explaining the ways in which institutions and institutional change affect the performance of economies, both at a given time and over time. Institutions exist, he argues, due to the uncertainties involved in human interaction; they are the constraints devised to structure that interaction. Yet, institutions vary widely in their consequences for economic performance; some economies develop institutions that produce growth and development, while others develop institutions that produce stagnation. North first explores the nature of institutions and explains the role of transaction and production costs in their development. The second part of the book deals with institutional change. Institutions create the incentive structure in an economy, and organisations will be created to take advantage of the opportunities provided within a given institutional framework. North argues that the kinds of skills and knowledge fostered by the structure of an economy will shape the direction of change and gradually alter the institutional framework. He then explains how institutional development may lead to a path-dependent pattern of development. In the final part of the book, North explains the implications of this analysis for economic theory and economic history. He indicates how institutional analysis must be incorporated into neo-classical theory and explores the potential for the construction of a dynamic theory of long-term economic change.
新制度经济学的经典之作。 从修正新古典经济学理性经济人行为假定开始论述。诺思认为制度是决定长期经济绩效的最重要因素。制度变迁最初为相对价格的变化,人们感知了这种变化,并由已存的“心智构念(preexisting constructs)”修正感知,从而形成参与者的“意向性(internat...
评分推荐这个级别,本不应该是这本书的真实地位;但是考虑到翻译者“处心积虑”地翻译了这样一个作品出来,因此只能被迫降级到“推荐”。以下所描述的,是我对于这本经过翻译了的《制度、制度变迁与经济绩效》的理解。 经济绩效(economy performance),我认为更适合翻译...

评分 评分诺思的这本书十分清晰的建立了他的制度变迁分析框架,对古典经济学的传统模型进行了有力的修正,将个人效用函数差异,信息不确定性等因素引入了古典经济学工具理性的基本假设,使之具有了更强的现实解释力,同时为经济史研究提供了新的观察视角与分析框架。很多我们耳熟能详的...
Not easy to read. North's work is to build a systematic theory of institution and institutional change, but the theory he built is quite rough, lots of important concepts are used without careful examinations, the causal effects between institution and organization are mutual, the institutionalism is actually inner contradictory to the neoclassic.
评分this book is from a family friend, a sociology professor in HK. In the late 90s, he sent this book to dad, who can hardly read English! this is hilarious, somehow, it sat in our bookshelf with dense dusts for years long! Till recently, i happened to find it. The reading is worthy, which help a lot in better understanding my own subject.
评分Good one!
