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.
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...

评分历史永远对当下是重要的,这不是一个规范表述。现在与未来是由过去形塑的,只有在制度演化的历史话语中,才能理解过去。制度的报酬递增,网络外部性,心智构建与意识形态,非正式约束的韧性,这些引致出了North提出的著名概念——路径依赖(path dependence)。一但走入一个制...
评分我是在上班路上看了一周看完的,由于环境嘈杂所以可能吸收受影响。North对制度成本、路径问题、认知和学习等等问题的强调与分析都让我在读这本书之前印象深刻,不过读过这本书后,能感觉到他思维大概是相当有条理相当有逻辑性的,但是书写得相当浓缩,对于对经济学理论没有深入...

Good one!
评分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.
评分对于制度和制度变化的解释清楚明了。
