TL;DR: In this article, the failures of the standard economic theory serve as a fruitful way to examine the need for institutions and explain why they emerge, and they are, however, less useful, but not entirely useless, in analyzing which institutions will emerge.
Abstract: Standard economic theory is only apparently institution-free. More importantly, the failures of the theory serve as a fruitful way to examine the need for institutions and explain why they emerge. It is, however, less useful, but not entirely useless, in analyzing which institutions will emerge.1

Abstract: This volume presents a collection of thirty essays on the character, administration, and management of research universities, with special emphasis on the perspective of statistics and operations research. It concentrates on issues of systematic planning, planning models, teaching approaches, and management associated with the aims and methods of operations research, although it also deals with more general concerns about the management of universities and university resources. A final section looks at some of the applications of operations-research and statistical tools that have moved outside university settings.

TL;DR: There has been a long tradition, going back to Adam Smith (1776), that technological progress is somehow intrinsically associated with increasing Retums as discussed by the authors, and this connection has been emphasized by Young (1928), Nicholas Kaldor (1957), and, still more recently, by Arrow (1962), Shell (1966), and Romer (1990).
Abstract: There has been a long tradition, going back to Adam Smith (1776), that technological progress is somehow intrinsically associated with increasing Retums. In more recent times, this connection has been emphasized by Young (1928), Nicholas Kaldor (1957), and, still more recently, by Arrow (1962), Shell (1966), and Romer (1990). There is, however, more than one interpretation of the relation.
