Lawlessness and economics : alternative modes of governance违法与经济学 mobi 下载 网盘 caj lrf pdf txt 阿里云

How can property rights be protected and contracts be enforced in countries where the rule of law is ineffective or absent? How can firms from advanced market economies do business in such circumstances? In Lawlessness and Economics, Avinash Dixit examines the theory of private instituti*** that transcend or supplement weak economic governance from the state.

In much of the world and through much of history, private mechanisms--such as long-term relati***hips, arbitration, social networks to disseminate information and norms to impose sancti***, and for-profit enforcement services--have grown up in place of formal, state-governed instituti***. Even in countries with strong legal systems, many of these mechanisms continue under the shadow of the law. Numerous case studies and empirical investigati*** have ***d the variety, importance, and merits, and drawbacks of such instituti***.

This book builds on these studies and c***tructs a toolkit of theoretical models to ***yze them. The models shed new conceptual light on the different modes of governance, and deepen our understanding of the in***ction of the alternative instituti*** with each other and with the government's law. For example, one model explains the limit on the size of social networks and illuminates problems in the transition to more formal legal systems as economies grow beyond this limit. Other models explain why for-profit enforcement is inefficient. The models also help us understand why state law dovetails with some non-state instituti*** and collides with others. This can help less-developed countries and transition economies devise better processes for the introduction or reform of their formal legal systems.
