Juan de Laiglesia ()

No 17, OECD Development Centre Policy Insights from OECD Publishing

The importance of customs and traditions for the process of agrarian transformation has been overlooked. Changes in formal institutions must be complementary to cultural norms and accommodate or foster the evolution of customary practices.
