Synopsis of Institutions et conventions. La réflexivité de l'action économique

«Institutions et conventions. La réflexivité de l'action économique» is the collective essay by Elisabeth Chatel, Dorothée Rivaud-Danset and Robert Salais.

A collective study of how ordinary actors with limited resources and capacities coordinate their action. Against the standard theory of rational action, it places reflexivity and reasonable judgment at the centre of economic analysis and reformulates the notion of institution and its relation to action, in line with the economics of conventions.
