In this landmark work, a Nobel Prize-winning economist develops a new way of understanding the process by which economies change. Douglass North inspired a revolution in economic history a generation ago by demonstrating that economic performance is determined largely by the kind and quality of institutions that support markets. As he showed in two now classic books that inspired the New Institutional Economics (today a subfield of economics), property rights and transaction costs are fundamental determinants. Here, North explains how different societies arrive at the institutional infrastructure that greatly determines their economic trajectories. North argues that economic change depends largely on "adaptive efficiency," a society's effectiveness in creating institutions that are productive, stable, fair, and broadly accepted--and, importantly, flexible enough to be changed or replaced in response to political and economic feedback. While adhering to his earlier definition of institutions as the formal and informal rules that constrain human economic behavior, he extends his analysis to explore the deeper determinants of how these rules evolve and how economies change. Drawing on recent work by psychologists, he identifies intentionality as the crucial variable and proceeds to demonstrate how intentionality emerges as the product of social learning and how it then shapes the economy's institutional foundations and thus its capacity to adapt to changing circumstances. Understanding the Process of Economic Change accounts not only for past institutional change but also for the diverse performance of present-day economies. This major work is therefore also an essential guide to improving the performance of developing countries.

This book offers a comprehensive assessment of Douglass North’s contribution to economics and the social sciences by examining the origins and structure of his New Institutionalist Economic History (NIEH). Informed by contemporary debates in the philosophy of economics, Krul describes the evolution of North’s theory from mainstream economics to an increasingly heterodox form of New Institutionalism. He also examines what North's original aims were in developing the NIEH research programme and how well it has achieved these aims. By exploring major themes in North's NIEH, with an emphasis on the final stage of his theory, Krul sheds new light on the strengths and weaknesses of North's work. He also discusses the implications of this critical interpretation for the New Institutionalism in economics and other fields of social science.

This book presents a model for examining problems of institutional change and applies it to American economic development in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. The authors develop their model of institutional change. They argue that if external economic factors make an increase in income possible but not attainable within the existing institutional structure, new organizations must be developed to achieve the potential in income. Their model is designed to explain the type and timing of these necessary changes in institutional organization. Individual, voluntary cooperative, and governmental arrangements are included in the discussion, although the latter differs considerably from the first two.

Seminar paper from the year 2006 in the subject Economics - History, grade: 1,7, Humboldt-University of Berlin, 6 entries in the bibliography, language: English, abstract: The paper will give a general overview on Douglass C. North's theoretical work during the last twenty years on economic history as well as on new institutions economics and institutional change. While the paper is more concerned on how North approaches the origin and development of the state via property rights it also will take his theory of institutional change and the way he emphasizes economies of scale and transaction costs into account. Part One of this paper will give a short introduction into the topic of the philosophy of the state. This will be followed by North's argumentation and thus his philosophy of the state derived in his numerous works. To begin with, Part Two of this paper gives an introduction into North's argumentation on the role of property rights for economic growth. Part Three will then explain what role government has in economic organization. The role of economies of scale for property rights and fiscal policies will be looked upon thereafter in Part Four. The circle will then be closed by linking economic growth and property rights with the development of the state. Analogously to North's argumentation in his book "The Rise of the Western World" the paper takes a section of ten millennia in economic history in order to explain the tension between property rights and the role of government as North sees it. North's model of the state will then be introduced in Part Six, followed by a short introduction into his Theory of Institutional Change in Part Seven of this paper. A short critique will be given at the end.
