Economic Analysis of Institutions provides a case studies-based tool kit to help readers analyse institutional changes, reforms and efforts to improve governance in the nation. The author applies the concepts of new institutional economics to a number of real-world problems and public policy issues relevant for developing economies. Divided into two parts, the book provides a succinct summary of the relevant theoretical insights of new institutional economics in the first, and application of these insights to eight specific issues in the second. These issues cover a wide range of areas including environment and natural resources, higher education, international migration, agricultural research, reforming the institutional framework for provision of electricity and water, and so on. In this book, the author also highlights the existence of a strong positive correlation between the quality and performance of institutions onthe one hand and development outcomes on the other. As a basis for successfulinstitutions, the author advocates rational policies through social consensusin a democratic process.
