Conflict and Cooperation: Institutional and Behavioral Economics

by A. Allan Schmid

Allan Schmid's innovative text, Conflict and Institutional and Behavioral Economics , investigates "the rules of the game," how institutions--both formal and informal--affect these rules, and how these rules are changed to serve competing interests. This text addresses both formal and informal institutions and the impact of alternative institutions, as well as institutional change and evolution. With its broad applications and numerous practice and discussion questions, this book will be appealing not only to students of economics, but also to those studying sociology, law, and political science.
