During this period, even the IMF and the World Bank, which used to treat institutions as mere 'details', have come to emphasize the role of institutions in economic development. However, there are still some important knowledge gaps that need to be filled before we can say that we have a good grip on the issue of institutions and economic development, both theoretically and at the policy level. This book is an attempt to fill these gaps. 606 $aEconomic development$vCongresses 606 $aInstitutional economics$vCongresses 606 $aEconomic policy$vCongresses 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aEconomic development 615 0$aInstitutional economics 615 0$aEconomic policy 676 $a338.9 701 $aChang$b Ha-Joon$0140658 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910451851003321 996 $aInstitutional change and economic development$92214641 997 $aUNINA
