Why is competition between institutions usually viewed in a
negative light, when competition is considered positive in most
other economic contexts? The contributors to this volume introduce
new perspectives on this issue, analytically and empirically
exploring reasons for this perception. Negative assessments of
institutional competition emphasize that such competition may lead
to a race to the bottom in terms of eroding government revenues,
redistributing wealth from workers to capitalists, and limiting
democracy by forcing politicians to prioritize international
investment capital rather than working for their voters. In this
volume, however, many of the essays draw attention to the positive
learning and information effects. The contributors conclude that
competition may actually lead to institutions becoming more
efficient in allocating resources. Students and scholars of
economics, political economy, international relations and political
science will find the book's non-traditional take on institutional
competition a must-read, as will policy analysts and those with an
interest in taxation and welfare states.
