书名就告诉了我们此书的结构,进而我们发现这是它的逻辑进路,再而我们还能猜测出作者的研究指向和写作目的。而经典就是经典。一部再好的教科书也只能让人粗窥到一个学科领域的大致轮廓(差的教科书连这也办不到),而只有一部经典著作才能把人领进这个学科的大门。 “The prom...
评分【http://blog.sina.com.cn/leiwon】在《西方世界的兴起》和《经济史上的结构和变革》的写作过程中,诺思尝试着使用新制度经济学的分析工具来重新解释经济史,收到了预期的实验功效,但还不足以开宗立派。直到这本《制度、制度变迁与经济绩效》的问世,诺思才应该算是成为一位...
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...

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.
上次读还是自己的智识停留在柏拉图和亚里士多德的时候,想必那时问教授的问题很让他困惑。。制度理论是自由主义,马克思主义,社会资本主义三大范式的折中。这三种范式几乎在同一时间意识到对社会的理解离不开制度。诺斯大致出身自由主义制度学范式。制度决定游戏规则,组织在既定游戏规则框架内博弈。组织根据经济和政治影响力大小试图改变正式制度亦即重塑游戏规则,而制度的存在使权力的变迁无法太迅速地呈现,因此保证了社会系统的相对稳定。非正式制度的使用对发展理论很有益(参见Ostrom etc)。外生冲击试图改变正式制度时非正式制度(包括既存行为)常加以阻挠;而外来参与者进入制度中后其行为与偏好也常被制度重塑或改变。科技和创新很大程度受制度影响,因此制度可能影响国家经济发展。但无制度起源的探寻,这大概是A&J的头功。
评分对于制度和制度变化的解释清楚明了。
