The Oxford Handbook of Comparative Institutional Analysis
Covers models such as 'varieties of capitalism',
'national business systems', and 'social systems of
production'. Chapters by leading international scholars Covers
issues such as corporate governance, employment, and financial
systems Chapters on theory and methodologyIt is increasingly
accepted that 'institutions matter' for economic
organization and outcomes. The last decade has seen significant
expansion in research examining how institutional contexts affect
the nature and behaviour of firms, the operation of markets, and
economic outcomes. Yet 'institutions' conceal a multitude
of issues and perspectives. Much of this research has been
comparative, and followed different models such as 'varieties
of capitalism', 'national business systems', and
'social systems of production'. This Handbook explores
these issues, perspectives, and models, with the leading scholars
in the area contributing chapters to provide a central reference
point for academics, scholars, and students.
