1.1Course Grade Criteria
The exam consists in open questions about the main concepts and theories of Institutional Economics, and implications on public policy.
Report about flexibility and institutional change, based on lecture notes and Olsen (2009).
As a first independent students’ work (IW1), the student must write a report (one page) for each required reading (article or chapter of the textbook), where the student must identify main research question, working hypothesis, main objective, methodology, and conclusions. As a second independent students’ work (IW2), each student must develop a Power Point presentation for assigned reading (one reading for each student). In class, the student has to present the main ideas of the reading. In addition, the presentation must be sent by email, previously to the corresponding lesson.
The student must write an Essay (ES), as a research report, where he/she has to identify, at least, one explanatory “institutional” variable (or control institutional variable) related with his/her master thesis. Accordingly, the student has to include an institutional variable in his/her main theory. In the report, the student must present the theory, and an explanation of the inclusion of the institutional variable. In addition, the student must develop an econometric model for this theory including the institutional variable.
Topic 1. American Institutionalism and an introduction to Neo- Institutionalism Main contributions of the American Institutionalism (Thorstein Veblen, Wesley Mitchell, John Commons. and Clarence Ayres). Relation and differences between the “old” and the “new” institutionalism. (DiMaggio and Powell 1991; Hodgson, 1998; Rutherford, 2001; Parada, 2002; Staniek, 2010). 8 hours. Topic 2.

(Coase, 1937, 1960, 1998; Williamson, 1998, 1999, 2000, 2005; North, 1991; Menard and Shirley, 2011; Brousseau and Glachant, 2008: chapters 1-4). 20 hours. Topic 3.

(Brousseau and Glachant, 2008: chapters 15-18). 10 hours. Topic 5. Challenges to Institutional Analysis Highlight some of the research directions to be explored in the future. (Brousseau and Glachant, 2008: chapters 19-21). 6 hours. Topic 6. Flexibility and Institutional Change Flexibility and institutional change, democratic government, and public policy.

The course is interactive; lectures are combined with discussions of the readings for the week, followed by presentations. Students are also required to make report and oral presentation of their homework. 8.1 Recommendations for course teacherIt is recommended to use interactive teaching methods, which allow for most student participation such as discussions, case studies, role-plays. It is also expected that Power Point presentations and distant video conferencing will be used for teaching. 8.2 Recommendations for StudentsThe course format mixes lectures, group discussion, and presentations. Students should take notes, both on lectures and on the reading, and presentations, with the intention of addressing the key themes of the course. The student must read the textbooks and use the computer programs.
9.1 Provisional Topics for Current ControlContinuously, teachers will evaluate independent students’ work, readings, and presentations. For example: Identify methodology in the reading 1 Identify recommendations for policymakers in the reading 1 9.2 Provisional questions for grading estimationWhich is the key difference between the “old” and the “new” institutional economics Based on R. Coase, define “transaction costs” Based on O. Williamson, which are the most important categories of property rights? Based on D. North, define “institutions: formal and informal” How institutional factors affect the design of public policy?
