Rational Behaviour and the Design of Institutions

Author

  • Hannu Nurmi

Abstract

The structures of the world’s national and international, political and economic institutions have largely resulted from intuitive and ad-hoc organization with reforms taking place on a costly trial-and-error basis. This book offers a comprehensive evaluation of the tools which can be used for a more rational and formal approach to institutional design.
