The research for this volume benefited from thoughtful and generous comments
from numerous scholars. First, I am indebted to Prof. Stefan Voigt, who provided
invaluable and enriching feedback throughout all phases of completing this volume.
Critical remarks received at various academic conferences and workshops helped
to improve the final product, however, as per usual, any remaining errors remain
mine. Particular chapters of this volume have been presented at the annual conferences
of the Society for Institutional & Organizational Economic (SIOE), the Public
Choice Society, the World Interdisciplinary Network for Institutional Research
(WINIR), the Polish Association of Law & Economics, among others.
I owe gratitude to Prof. Christian Bjørnskov and Prof. Katarzyna Metelska-
Szaniawska for thorough reviews and comments in the context of workshop/conference
sessions in Hamburg and Warsaw, respectively. I also very much appreciate
valuable comments from Prof. Andrew Guzman during a visiting researcher stay at
UC Berkeley.
