Resumo

En este artículo se examinan los fundamentos del enfoque institucional en economía y ciencia política, en particular la naturaleza de los costes de transacción en los mercados económico y político. Tras presentar la literatura en economía, explicamos los tipos de costes de transacción existentes en el mercado político-electoral. Con datos agregados e individuales mostramos cómo las reglas electorales y la identificación de partido influyen en la estabilidad del equilibrio en el sistema de partidos en España.
