Call for papers
The call for papers to the Annual Research Conference 2023 was launched on May 31 and closed on June 2 2023.
The Conference’s Scientific Committee invited theoretical and empirical papers that contribute to better understand the role played by the complex web of formal and informal institutions characterising Europe, its nations and regions in shaping policies and their implementation. The Committee welcome contributions by academics involved in institutional analysis in a broad range of fields including political economy, economic history, law and economics, economic geography, innovation studies, sectoral policies, and development economics.
The Conference welcomed contributions on:
- Crises and institutional change (incl. institutions as the origin of crises)
- Culture and institutions
- Institutional complementarities and synergies • Institutional emergence and evolution
- Economic governance and institutional design
- Institutional learning (incl. importing/exporting/experimenting designs)
- Measuring and assessing institutions and their performance
