This paper revisits, modifies, and combines elements of three major ‘institutional’ international-trade models, none of … 12th to late 16th centuries. The three distinguished models that provided the major inspiration for this paper are, in … courts (thus leading us back to the North-Milgrom-Weingast model). The chief criticisms of these models, or parts of them …
