Abstract: Institutions are increasingly recognised as one of the invisible factors which explain long-term economic performance. In 2024, the Nobel Academy awarded its prize to three economists who have made a major contribution to improving knowledge on the subject: Daron Acemoglu, Simon Johnson and James Robinson. This article looks back at some of their most important publications, offering a sometimes-critical commentary on their work and questions the implications it may have, particularly on the impact of iinternational migration on institutions.
