Dani Rodrik on Institutions - Dictionary of Arguments

Mause I 107f
Institutions/Rodrik: While the "New Institutional Economics" that emerged in the 1960s and 1970s has been largely absorbed by microeconomics today, from the second half of the 1990s onwards an economic mindset has been established that deals with institutions as determinants of growth and development from a macro-perspective (such as: Hall and Jones 1999 (2)); Rodrik et al. 2004 (1)). Characteristic of this approach is firstly a relatively narrow institutional concept that is largely limited to formal institutions (such as property rights, the rule of law, electoral law), and secondly an aspiration for analytical rigour that is expressed in a highly formalized language and the aspiration to check the hypotheses drawn up econometrically.
