The Place of Institutions in the Economy: A Theoretical Perspective

Kenneth Arrow

Chapter 2 in The Institutional Foundations of East Asian Economic Development, 1998, pp 39-48 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract Standard economic theory is only apparently institution-free. More importantly, the failures of the theory serve as a fruitful way to examine the need for institutions and explain why they emerge. It is, however, less useful, but not entirely useless, in analyzing which institutions will emerge.1
