Critical Survey of the New Institutional Approaches and Empirical Evidence
نویسنده
چکیده
The purpose of this paper is to review the main literature that has analyzed the channels through which institutions influence economic change, hence development. The interest for this topic arises from the relatively recent consensus that has emerged among scholars and policy makers in considering institutions a key factor shaping the outcome of the economic game. The aim is pursued by discussing the theoretical approaches proposed within the New Institutional Economics to inquiry on institutional issues. Besides, the empirical evidence resulting from some of the studies that have lately investigated the nexus between institutions and economic performance is presented as well. JEL classification: B52; D02; O10.

متن کاملNew Method for Calculation Mixing Rule and Modification Semi-empirical Models for Solubility Modeling in Supercritical Solvent
The critical properties of a solute are required for modeling of the solubility by the equation of state. For many compounds, the critical properties are not available. So, group contribution method is utilized as a common method to estimate these properties. But, it leads to the consecutive errors in calculations of the solubility modeling. In this study, Soave-Redlish-Kowang (SRK) and Peng-Ro...
