Abstract

The focus of this article is on legal-economic institutions that organized early-modern Eurasian trade. It identifies two such institutions that had divergent dispersion patterns, the corporation and the commenda. The corporation ended up as a uniquely European institution that did not migrate until the era of European colonization. The commenda that originated in Arabia migrated all the way to Western Europe and to China. The article explains their divergent dispersion based on differences in their institutional and geographical environments and on dynamic factors, claiming that institutional analysis errs when it ignores migration of institutions and providing building blocks for the modeling of institutional migration.
近代早期欧亚贸易的制度动力:赞扬与公司
本文的重点是组织早期现代欧亚贸易的法律经济制度。它确定了两种具有不同分散模式的机构,即公司和奖状。该公司最终成为一个独特的欧洲机构,直到欧洲殖民时代才迁移。发源于阿拉伯的木薯,一路传到了西欧和中国。本文从制度和地理环境的差异以及动态因素来解释它们的分散,指出制度分析忽视制度迁移是错误的,并为制度迁移的建模提供了基础。
