9 Программная инженерия Высшая школа экономики, Москва “Third World countries are poor because the institutional constraints define a set of payoffs to political/economic activity that do not encourage productive activity” (North, 1990: 110).

10 Программная инженерия Высшая школа экономики, Москва “In addition to capital accumulation, being developed economically entails having sophisticated economic organizations and credible enforcement of property rights and other contractual commitments. Similarly, being developed politically entails having rule of law, a constitutional setting in which all major players accept changes of power, effective legal recognition of organizational rights independently of who is in power, and state control of organized violence.” (North et al. 2009, p. 3)

22 Высшая школа экономики, Москва, Political markets фото “Political markets are more prone to inefficiency than economic markets. The cost of measuring and enforcing agreements is higher in political markets, North argued, because what is being exchanged – promises for votes – is inherently difficult to measure. Voters may find it hard to judge if the actions of their representatives produce outcomes that favor voter interests; voters may not even know what their interests are under certain policy choices” (Menard and Shirley, 2011: 7).
