Complexity and Institutions: Markets, Norms and Corporations

by Masahiko Aoki (Editor), Ken Binmore (Editor), Simon F. Deakin (Editor)

This volume explores how complex economic transactions can be treated in economics, as well as how societies bring order to complex economic and social transactions through various institutional devices. Bringing together eminent scholars from the fields of game theory, complexity, econometrics and law, it explores theoretically and empirically how markets, social norms, and corporate organization and governance evolve, and how these institutions affect economic behavior. The contributors include, besides the editors, S. Cincotti, M. Gallegatti, M. Kandori, K. Pistor, B. Skyrms, R. Sugden, and others.
