Understanding the Process of Economic Change pdf epub mobi txt 电子书 下载 2024
In this landmark work, a Nobel Prize-winning economist develops a new way of understanding the process by which economies change. Douglass North inspired a revolution in economic history a generation ago by demonstrating that economic performance is determined largely by the kind and quality of institutions that support markets. As he showed in two now classic books that inspired the New Institutional Economics (today a subfield of economics), property rights and transaction costs are fundamental determinants. Here, North explains how different societies arrive at the institutional infrastructure that greatly determines their economic trajectories. North argues that economic change depends largely on 'adaptive efficiency', a society's effectiveness in creating institutions that are productive, stable, fair, and broadly accepted - and, importantly, flexible enough to be changed or replaced in response to political and economic feedback. While adhering to his earlier definition of institutions as the formal and informal rules that constrain human economic behavior, he extends his analysis to explore the deeper determinants of how these rules evolve and how economies change. Drawing on recent work by psychologists, he identifies intentionality as the crucial variable and proceeds to demonstrate how intentionality emerges as the product of social learning and how it then shapes the economy's institutional foundations and thus its capacity to adapt to changing circumstances. "Understanding the Process of Economic Change" accounts not only for past institutional change but also for the diverse performance of present-day economies. This major work is therefore also an essential guide to improving the performance of developing countries.

评分《董事会》2008年05期 □董志强 经济变迁是当代经济学研究中最为迷人的主题,因为其中的故事令人困惑。公元十四世纪,孟加拉还是一个丰产富足的国家,当时的欧洲正在黑死病的魔爪下苦苦挣扎。而今天,孟加拉已是全球最贫困的国家之一,欧洲却出现了持续的增长并成为全球...
评分因为这个笔记是从看了这本书一半开始的 所以不采用同于以往的摘录形式 主要以引申书中的个人想法为主 前5章小结 本书总结到的论证方法主要是联系的(交互的)、正反面的 其中隐含精英主义 贯穿全书的元素是 不确定性(亦可理解为命运等反理性的词汇) 不确定性是一种穿...
评分《理解经济变迁的过程》是North2005年所著的新书,距离他上次的著作《制度,制度变迁与经济绩效》已经有14个年头。当然,这只是说他这段时间没有写书。这段时间,他的paper还是频见佳作的。 第一次知道North的名字,是在考研复习的时候偶然在一论坛上见到的,而且当时比较引...
