Abstract

HERNANDEZ CHULIA, Sagar. The relationship between economic and sociological neoinstitutionalism. Rev.econ.inst. [online]. 2016, vol.18, n.35, pp.123-149. ISSN 0124-5996.  https://doi.org/10.18601/01245996.v18n35.07.

This research tries to demonstrate the fundamental agreement between the theoretical contributions from neoinstitutionalist economists and sociologists. To achieve this goal, we grouped these contributions into six main categories: teleology, epistemology, methodology, individual agents, organizations and institutions. In view of the results, we conclude that, while these contributions have a very similar theoretical profile, we can also identify certain discrepancies that open the possibility to establish a profitable debate within this trend of thought.

Keywords : Economic theory; Sociological theory; Neoinstitutionalism; Theoretical convergence.
