Herbert Simon (1991) imagines a Martian gazing down on Earth with a telescope that could pick out social structures. He comments that the dominant features of the landscape the Martian would observe would not be markets, nations, or governments, but organizations. Organizations and institutions have long been a central topic in sociology, and have had a recent renaissance in the economics literature as well.
The prevailing economic theories of institutions and organizations treat them as rational solutions to strategic problems of interaction and coordination. In this paper, I present some of these views and how they figure into the design of models. I then question the extent to which they are properly considered theories of the nature of institutions at all. I explore more realistic approaches to the ontology of institutions and examine how these can affect the design of robust institutions in the real world.
