'. . . the book is a good example of the writing and reasoning
style, sometimes vivid and intriguing, often used by NIE authors.
Similarly, the book is a good sample of NIE's multidisciplinary
approach to economics. . . The range of papers presented gives the
reader a good picture of the variety of approaches used by NIE
scholars, and their ability to integrate sociological and legal
consideration within the economic analysis.' - Martino Bianchi, CEU
Political Science Journal The field of institutional economics has
witnessed a surge in interest over recent years and has attracted
the attention of a growing number of social scientists. This
topical and highly informative collection brings together critical
writings on the relationship between institutions and economic
performance. The included works encompass seminal cross-country
studies of 'whether institutions matter', as well as leading
examples of within-country studies on the role of specific
institutions. This indispensable volume includes an original
introduction by the editor which explores the definition and
measurement of institutions. The book is essential reading for
anyone interested in institutions and economic development.
Using a power-knowledge framework, this volume critically
investigates how major global indicators of legal governance are
produced, disseminated and used, and to what effect. Original case
studies include Freedom House's Freedom in the World indicator, the
Global Reporting Initiative's structure for measuring and reporting
on corporate social responsibility, the World Justice Project's
measurement of the rule of law, the World Bank's Doing Business
index, the World Bank-supported Worldwide Governance Indicators,
the World Bank's Country Performance Institutional Assessment
(CPIA), and the Transparency International Corruption (Perceptions)
index. Also examined is the use of performance indicators by the
European Union for accession countries and by the US Millennium
Challenge Corporation in allocating US aid funds.
