Pranab Bardhan at his Substack:
James Robinson is a professor at the University of Chicago and a co-winner of the Nobel Prize in Economics in 2024. Jim has been a friend for many decades and was for some time my colleague in Berkeley. This conversation is in 2 parts. Below you’ll find four questions by me and Jim’s response to them. The second part, consisting of four more questions and his answers, will be posted next week. I should mention here that by ‘institutions’ economists generally mean the social rules, conventions and other elements of the structural framework of socio-economic interaction.
More here. And Part II is here.
