This book comprises nine papers approaching designed institutions and their interplay with spontaneous institutions from various angles. While the evolution of spontaneous institutions is quite well understood in economic thinking, the development of consciously designed institutions has been examined much less. In new institutional economics, public choice, and law and economics the interaction between changing preferences and spontaneously evolving institutions on the one hand and the evolution of designed institutions (as, e.g., legal systems) on the other hand has largely been ignored. A number of top class international contributors have been assembled to study this phenomenon including Viktor Vanberg, Bruno Frey, Elinor Ostrom and Francesco Parisi.

This edited volume brings together international experts to address one of today's most urgent challenges: how blockchain technology can support climate action and improve the transparency and integrity of voluntary carbon markets (VCM).By analyzing the tokenization of Voluntary Carbon Credits (VCCs), this book provides a holistic view of the economic, legal, and technical issues at play. It explores how blockchain's unique attributes - immutability, security, and digital accessibility - can help build trust in the respective data and carbon offset claims across global supply chains.From international carbon regulation to real-world pilot projects and digital asset standards, this book speaks to a rapidly evolving landscape. With insights from leading scholars and cutting-edge research, it offers valuable guidance for academics, policymakers, legal professionals, fintech innovators, and sustainability leaders alike.
