Our analysis shows that the institutional design of the FC was influenced, in tandem, by principal-agent considerations, transaction costs, existing institutional configurations, path dependence, and normative concerns of the bureaucratic agents in charge of creating the new body. We conclude that in order to understand and explain the motives and factors involved in institutional design, the explanatory angles provided by rational choice, historical and sociological institutionalism should be viewed as complementary rather than contradictory.Item type | Current location | Home library | Call number | Status | Date due | Barcode |

In this paper, we explore the creation of the fiscal council (FC) in Estonia, using the perspectives of different strands of institutionalism. Our analysis shows that the institutional design of the FC was influenced, in tandem, by principal-agent
considerations, transaction costs, existing institutional configurations, path dependence, and normative concerns of the bureaucratic agents in charge of creating the new body. We conclude that in order to understand and explain the motives and
factors involved in institutional design, the explanatory angles provided by rational choice, historical and sociological institutionalism should be viewed as complementary rather than contradictory.
