Abstract

Jara-Ettinger and Dunham's institutional stance conceives of social behavior in terms of roles; economists instead define institutions in terms of rules. I argue that rules, rather than roles, are logically (and likely cognitively) primary because (i) rules are underdetermined by roles, (ii) many rules are more abstract than roles, and (iii) rules only work if they rarely need to be enforced.

角色还是规则？

Jara-Ettinger和Dunham的制度立场从角色的角度来看待社会行为；相反，经济学家用规则来定义制度。我认为规则，而不是角色，在逻辑上（也可能是认知上）是主要的，因为(I)规则是由角色决定的，（ii）许多规则比角色更抽象，（iii）规则只有在很少需要强制执行的情况下才有效。
