| | Institution - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | The institution of money encompasses many formal organizations, including banks and government treasury departments and stock exchanges, which may be termed, "institutions," as well as subjective experiences, which guide people in their pursuit of personal economic well-being and wealth. | | | Powerful institutions are able to imbue a paper currency with certain value, and to induce millions into cooperative production and trade in pursuit of economic ends abstractly denominated in that currency's units. | | | As structures and mechanisms of social order among humans, institutions are one of the principal objects of study in the social sciences, including sociology, political science and economics. |

| | Ronald H. Coase - Prize Lecture |
| | The value of including such institutional factors in the corpus of mainstream economics is made clear by recent events in Eastern Europe. | | | Even more surprising, given their interest in the pricing system, is the neglect of the market or more specifically the institutional arrangements which govern the process of exchange. | | | In this lecture I shall explain why, in my view, these features of the economic system were ignored and why their recognition will lead to a change in the way we analyse the working of the economic system and in the way we think about economic policy, changes which are already beginning to occur. |

| | American Journal of Economics and Sociology, The: A political economy approach to the neoclassical model of transition - New Perspectives on Transition Economics: Europe |
| | The goal had to be competitive capitalism, the methodology neoclassical economics, and the ideological foundation of the reform had to be self-interest. | | | Incorporating the institutional and political structure into the transition analysis, which is consistent with a political economy approach, further highlights the contradictions of shock therapy and gradualism, reinforcing the inadequacies of neoclassical economic analysis as being politically/institutionally naked. | | | Meanwhile, it is important to recognise that the transition process also depended on developments in the institutional and political structure. |

| | Through institutional reforms, financial asset price inflation has become the channel money growth. | | | Posted by: Anonymous Proxy# 9274335768 at March 22, 2005 08:53 AM It is quite clear to me that the Fed will try to inflate its way out of the coming economic downturn, just as they have always done during the last decades and try to lower the debt burden through massive doses of inflation. | | | The ultimate constraint on inflation is that people will stop using the currency. |

| | The Prize in Economic Sciences 1991 - Press Release |
| | Until recently, basic economic analysis concentrated on studying the functioning of the economy in the framework of an institutional structure which was taken as given. | | | Or, more exactly, the institutional structure of the economy may be explained by the relative costs of different institutional arrangements, combined with parties' efforts to keep total costs at a minimum. | | | This led Coase to conclude that it is the fact that transaction costs are never zero which indeed explains the institutional structure of the economy, including variations in contract forms and many kinds of legislation. |

| | Evolutionary Economics and Totalitarian Politics: |
| | Orthodox economics depicts the economy as like a predictable machine that occasionally breaks down and requires maintenance by a technician. | | | Neoclassical economic theory is rooted in the eighteenth-century Newtonian worldview and, therefore, draws its analogies and metaphors from the machine age, while evolutionary economics draws most of its analogies and metaphors from the late nineteenth-century Darwinian worldview. | | | Evolutionary epistemologists, such as Popper and Peirce, have argued that heterodoxy in any science (including economics) is actually a sign of epistemic health and that a truly evolutionary epistemology requires a degree of conjectural variation. |
