About this book

What is Institutional Economics

Institutional economics is a branch of economics that focuses on understanding the function that institutions have in determining economic behavior as well as the impact that the evolutionary process plays. Thorstein Veblen's instinct-oriented divide between technology on the one hand and the "ceremonial" sphere of society on the other was the primary emphasis of the organization when it was first established. Both its name and its fundamental components may be traced back to an article written by Walton H. Hamilton in 1919 for the American Economic Review. The field of institutional economics places an emphasis on the study of institutions in a more comprehensive manner and considers markets to be the product of the intricate interplay between the many institutions. In the field of economics, the older school is still widely recognized as a prominent heterodox approach nowadays.
