DISCUSSIONs

The DISCUSSION series examines the mechanisms behind the structural patterns observed in the EPISODE series.

• While EPISODEs map the empirical structure of advanced economies, DISCUSSIONs explore the institutional, financial, and organizational mechanisms that help explain those patterns.
• Some discussions analyze general mechanisms; others examine specific country configurations.

• While EPISODEs build the framework, DISCUSSIONs test, extend, or illuminate it.
  You can read discussions in any order.
