Institutional complementarity and diversity of social systems of innovation and production
Abstract
This article proposes an institutional analysis of modern capitalist economies. It argues that the institutional dimension is crucial if one wants to account for the coexistence of different types of modern developed economies, characterized by substantially different institutional structures. It explains why no generalized pattern of convergence towards the same economic model should be expected, in spite of 'globalization'. An institutional analysis of modern economies, or social systems of innovation and production, can be made using the concepts of complementarity and hierarchy of institutions. Institutional arrangements are complementary to each other and thus define the coherence as well as the potential for evolution of the various economies. The hierarchy of institution expresses which part of the institution drives the others, and is helpful for understanding historical evolutions. The article proposes a classification of developed economies and draws some conclusions regarding the usefulness of the concepts of complementarity and hierarchy of institutions for economic policy.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
