calidad institucional, economía, organizaciones, instituciones, desarrollo económico, cultura organizacionalResumen
La fragilidad o fortaleza de algunas economías para afrontar las crisis económicas puede ser explicada en gran medida por la calidad de las instituciones. Las instituciones desempeñan un papel fundamental en la configuración de la sociedad y la economía. A través de los actores políticos y sociales, los agentes económicos y los órganos judiciales, entre otros, se construye un marco regulatorio e institucional con capacidad para moldear el sistema económico en cuestiones como la estabilidad, la equidad y la protección de los derechos individuales. Este artículo aborda la situación actual de los estudios sobre calidad institucional en el campo de las ciencias económicas. Se presentan los fundamentos teóricos y las metodologías que respaldan los principales enfoques, así como resultados de varios estudios empíricos relevantes, junto a estudios específicos para el entorno español y sus implicaciones. En las conclusiones se destacan las contribuciones, fortalezas y debilidades, y se sugieren posibilidades de mejora acudiendo a la integración de conceptos y métodos procedentes de varias disciplinas.
