Title: Economic and political institutions in economic policy
Description: Government and institutional failures have forced economists to consider matters which until recently were seen as peripheral to economics. Each of the chapters in this book highlights the importance of studying economic incentives when considering institutional design and focuses on current political issues.

Bringing together leading names from different economic disciplines, the volume includes chapters on elections and the economy, distributional policies and constitutional design, and government and the market.

Economic and political institutions in economic policy is the result of a series of public lectures delivered in the University of Glasgow as part of the Stevenson Lectures in Citizenship. It will be of interest to undergraduate and postgraduate economics students and to non-specialists with interests in the areas of public economics, microeconomics and international economics.
Subjects: Economic policy, International cooperation, Institutional economics
