Review

'ÄòThis¬†Advanced Introduction provides a terrific exposition of New Institutional Economics. The foundations of transaction costs, property rights, and contracting produce applications concerning institutions large and small, covering a substantial share of economic activity. Much of the world's economic progress and institutional change will rely on these ideas.'Äô -- 'Äì Robert Gibbons, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, US'ÄòMany trees planted by the New Institutional Economics are thriving in the mainstream of the social sciences, but it is easy to lose track of the NIE forest. This indispensable and authoritative book comes to the rescue, synthesizing a vast literature, covering many domains of human interaction and showing that a society's success rests on the institutional choices made by its members.'Äô -- 'Äì Philip Keefer, Inter-American Development Bank, US'ÄòNow, for the first time, we have a comprehensive guide to the new institutional economics and allied fields. This Advanced Introduction covers topics such as transactions cost, property rights, contracts, organizations, and state and legal institutions; plus two 'Äútransversal topics'Äù, institutions and public policy and institutional change and development. A must read for both students and professionals.'Äô -- 'Äì Barry Weingast, Stanford University, US'ÄòNIE is one of the economic fields whose influences go far beyond the borders of economics. But it is also an often misunderstood field. This introductory book, written by two veteran experts of NIE, is a timely work to acquaint the reader with the main concepts and approaches of NIE. It should be read by anyone who is about to study institutional issues within and outside economics.'Äô -- 'Äì Yang Yao, Peking University, China
