Abstract

The school of Varieties of Capitalism (VoC) has developed a theoretical framework for comparative analysis, which is used for studying developed national economies. The authors consider it sociological evident that different institutional areas and subsystems (product markets, the labour market, the financial sector, social protection and the welfare state, and the education system) should be studied in order to model the social system of production. Besides the creation of the models of capitalism, in these works the question is hidden whether capitalism has more competitive models. The review of the macroeconomic and econometric studies persuasively prove that the institutional areas examined in the most influential works of the VoC literature are all relevant with respect to the performance of economy and growth, like their characteristics, based on which the different models are typified. At the same time it is instructive that there is no unambiguous correlation in the subsystems – especially in the case of the labour market, social protection and education – between the institutional system and economic growth, and thus there is a scope for economic and socio-political options among the different sets of institutions.
