Abstract: The purpose of our paper is to elaborate a coherent synthesis of the main achievements of the evolutionnary and institutionalist theories regarding institutional change and economic coordination. Adopting a « deep version » of institutionnalism and a wide acception of the concept of institution, we formulate five propositions of an « institutional economics of change » that would encompass both institutionalist and evolutionnary theories. Then we define the notion of « institutional hierarchy », hence qualifying the various modes of influence of the institutions on economic behaviors. Finally, studying the evolution of institutions, we distinguish between three main regimes of evolution : « genesis », « development » and « crisis », and we discuss the conditions of the transition from one regime to another. In doing so, we aim at building a logically consistent theory of the complex interactions between institutional evolution and economic coordination.
