I. INTRODUCTION
According to cross-country empirical assessments paired
with micro-level studies, institutions are enormously
significant in anticipating the stage of progress in countries
around the world (Daron Acemoglu, Simon Johnson, 2001);
(Cavalcanti & Novo, 2005). Property rights protection,
effective law enforcement, and efficient administration, as
well as a variety of norms and civic mores, have all been
related to greater economic performance over time. The goal
of this essay is to highlight the importance of institutions in
economic development and to support the arguments made.
It asserts that institutions support economic development by
influencing the price of financial transactions, the
appropriability of rate of return, the degree of exploitation
and confiscation, and the extent to which the setting is
favorable to cooperation and increasing social capital.
Literature, country analyses, and micro-level examples
provide proof.
What direction should the economic systems profession take?
What are the future directions of economic systems research?
After the former socialist economies of Eastern Europe and
the Soviet Union collapsed, these questions arose frequently.
Because these socialist economies have vanished, research
into them has become a historical study with little relevance
to contemporary issues. For some time, the former socialist
economies' transition processes have provided important
research topics, attracting some economists from other fields
to the field of transition economists such as (Zilibotti et al.,
1999); (Aghion et al., 2020). However, most East European
economies are nearing the end of the transition process, and
research topics on transition policies, such as privatization
and liberalization, appear less frequently in academic
publications after these policies have been implemented.
It's also worth noting that political economy is subdivided
into a subfield within capitalist systems. In the preceding
classifications, one word appears several times: systems.
Furthermore, five words appear to explain the study's objects:
capitalist, socialist, transitions, institutions, and comparative.
The objects of the study are capitalist, socialist, and
transition, and "comparative" is a research method and thus
not unique in and of itself. As a result, the remaining two
words—systems and institutions—appear to be the most
important concepts that can distinguish the field from others
in economics (Kim, 2012).
