Conclusions – and Possible Future Issues; Appendix 1. Coding Countries According to Two Governance Scores; Appendix 2. Empirical Results at a Glance: Constitutional Rules as Explanatory Variables, Cross-Country Results Unless Otherwise NotedReviewsOver the last 30 years or so, 'constitutional political economy' has emerged as an important branch of political economy, or more broadly political science and economics. This Primer presents a comprehensive survey of the diverse literatures that are relevant for the field. Although primarily designed for use in the classroom, it provides an excellent introduction to the field for scholars unfamiliar with this literature. Moreover, Stefan Voigt surveys such a vast number of relevant contributions that even scholars working within the field will discover works with which they were unfamiliar. Dennis Mueller, Emeritus Professor of Economics, University of Vienna This volume by one of the masters of constitutional political economy is the perfect introduction to this important line of research. It combines a state-of-the-art summary of current debates with clear, accessible writing. Highly recommended for those new to the field, but also essential reading for those who've worked in it as well. Tom Ginsburg, Leo Spitz Professor of International Law and Professor of Political Science, University of Chicago What happens when the toolkit of political economy is applied to the study of constitutional rules? The result is constitutional economics-a field that legal scholars and social scientists alike should get to know, because they will be hearing a lot more about it for years to come. And one could not ask for a clearer or more knowledgeable overview of this burgeoning field than this elegant volume by Stefan Voigt. Newcomers and advanced readers alike will benefit from its concise, candid, and critical evaluation of both the existing literature and the work that remains to be done. David Law, Chancellor's Professor, University of California, Irvine Author InformationStefan Voigt is a professor at the University of Hamburg, director of its Institute of Law & Economics, and editor of Constitutional Political Economy.
