It is widely believed that current disparities in economic, political, and social outcomes reflect distinct institutions. Institutions are invoked to explain why some countries are rich and others poor, some democratic and others dictatorial.

It presents a multi-disciplinary perspective to study endogenous institutions and their dynamics.
