Research in Institutional Economics in Management Science: Individuals, Teams, and Research Infrastructure in the European Union
Kirsten Foss and Nicolai J. Foss
Abstract: This report maps research in institutional economics in
management science in the European Union for the 1995 to 2002 period. The
reports applies Internet search based on a university listing, search on
journal databases, key informants and an internet-based survey. 195
researchers are identified. In (sub-)disciplinary terms, organization,
strategy, corporate governance, and international business are the major
areas of application of institutional economics ideas. In terms of
countries, the EU strongholds are Holland, Denmark, UK, and Germany. There
is apparently no or very little relevant research in Ireland, Portugal,
Luxembourg and Greece. Based on the findings of the report, it seems
warranted to characterize the EU research effort in the field as being
rather dispersed and uncoordinated. Thus, there are no specialized
journals, associations or PhD courses. This state of affairs is partly
explainable by the highly pragmatic way in which research in management
science is typically conducted (so that institutional economics approaches
are likely to be merely one type of input among many).
