“The ideas of economists and political philosophers, both when they are right and when they are wrong, are more powerful than is commonly understood. Indeed the world is ruled by little else. Practical men, who believe themselves to be quite exempt from any intellectual influence, are usually the slaves of some defunct economist.” - […]
Pertinent questions are being asked about the sustainability of Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid in the US…but the causes and options are not articulated fully

This volume is one of the rare collection of papers I found looking at Anthropology and institutional economics. Surprisingly, though the two have a large scope for collaboration, there is very little work happening between these two disciplines, to my knowledge. This volume provides a useful introduction.
The book starts with an introduction about Anthropology and Institutional economics by James Acheson. This is followed by an essay on New Institutionalism by Robert Bates. The best part of the book is made up of case studies divided into three sections (1) Transactions cost, individual decisions & econoimc performance (2) Institutions and the state (3) Institutions and credit. Finally there is a section on theoretical issues concerning institutional economics.
The book is an outcome of a meeting of society for economic anthropology at UC Irvine. The volume provides a strong flavour of how the two disciplines can collaborate. Among these, I especially liked, “Individual choice and institutional constraints: the new organization of health care in USA” by Melissa Rehfus and Christiana Gladwin. While most articles are information, they left somethnig wanting in how things are theorised.
This is an ecclectic collection of links on economics that reflect my “agenda” for the discipline! Quite a few of these are deliberate collection of articles that would be considered “non-economic” that I wish to reframe in the economic framework. Otherwise there are links to useful papers, tools and other links.
My bookmarks on data sources that is continually updated
An index of websites that provide data useful for social science research. Given my interests, these will be primarily on issues such as nutrition, education, health, development, poverty, etc. Regionally, most data will be in India. Some general issues (e.g. population) are covered and some sources of […]
Following are my bookmarks tagged broadly with the topic “research”. Links include research tools, data, papers, websites on research methods and other information that may be useful to students pursing social science research.
