This article opens with a discussion of the types of institutions that allow markets to perform adequately. While we can identify
in broad terms what these are, there is no unique mapping between markets and the non-market institutions that underpin them.
The paper emphasizes the importance of “local knowledge”, and argues that a strategy of institution building must not over-emphasize
best-practice “blueprints” at the expense of experimentation. Participatory political systems are the most effective ones
for processing and aggregating local knowledge. Democracy is a meta-institution for building good institutions. A range of
evidence indicates that participatory democracies enable higher-quality growth.

The expectation that the government will respond to future circumstances, say bailing out a dictator to avoid a bloodbath, or raising taxes on immovable capital investments, often hinders the establishment of appropriate incentives for efficient behavior. The government's dilemma, simply, is that it may be unable to commit future governments not to be responsive. Contracts and constitutional provisions are mechanisms to limit responsiveness. So too are arrangements that increase the cost of being responsive, or build reputations for adhering to certain patterns of behavior. A promising strategy for being responsive is to base government actions on variables not under the control of individuals, such as unalterable characteristics or aggregate outcomes. These are at best palliative measures: Informed policy making must recognize the tension between providing appropriate incentives and permitting government to be responsive. 相似文献
