This course presents wide-ranging and growing literature on the economics of institutions (and organizations), with an emphasis on applications and evidence. We begin with the methods and fundamental concepts upon which the new institutional economics builds. Then we turn to a study of the institutional environment, the constraints that guide individuals' behavior. We investigate how institutions change and how are they shaped by the individuals and firms themselves.
