  • Institutional capital

    • A concept of sustainable development, institutional capital is the combination of the institution’s (1) value in the public domain, (2) its institutional strength, (3) its (good) institutional governance, and (4) its equilibrium(i.e., stability). These elements and the analysis of their economic, social and environmental impacts are fundamental to assessing the social and economic order (institutional capital) for achieving sustainable development.[1]
