"What Makes Economies Grow?: A Study of the Transition Economies"
Professor North received the Nobel Prize for pioneering the use of modern
statistical methods to re-examine how economies developed in the past. His
work as an economic historian has stressed the importance of institutions in
determining whether countries are rich or poor and investigates why political
and economic institutions have evolved over time. The relevance of institutional
change to growth is especially clear today as the countries of Eastern Europe
struggle to make the transition to market economies.
