“…Institutions can be formal (such as regulation, laws, and contracts) or informal (such as habits and routines) and establish procedural rules of behavior and mindsets that promote stability and predictability. Thus, the institutions, on the one hand, provide information -allegedly qualified -on the status of the world, such as expected trends and trajectories, and on what the average behavior of other agents (including the government) must be; on the other hand, they operate on the development of cognitive skills, influencing the way the agents organize themselves, select and interpret available information and, thus, make (financial) decisions (Crocco, 1999;Dequech, 2001;2011). Some limits of the relative stability caused by the institutions must be mentioned.…”
