Public affairs scholars have contributed rich insights on the role and outcomes of institutions in policy and administrative settings. They have offered numerous empirical studies of these topics, alongside concepts and theories that can be leveraged in their assessment. But there remains a relative dearth in attention to approaches that can be used to support rigorous assessments of institutional design itself—those that support reliable and nuanced representations of institutional structure and meaning. The Institutional Grammar (IG) is one such approach that has gained in prominence over the last decade. Existing applications validate the IG's utility toward rigorous assessments of institutional design, and highlight the IG's value in operationalizing concepts relevant in policy and administration scholarship. We build on existing IG research by presenting a revised specification IG 2.0 for encoding and analyzing institutional design that responds to representational necessities and analytical opportunities within and beyond policy and administrative domains.

制度语法 2.0：编码和分析制度设计的规范

公共事务学者对机构在政策和行政环境中的作用和结果贡献了丰富的见解。他们提供了对这些主题的大量实证研究，以及可以在他们的评估中利用的概念和理论。但是，对于可用于支持对制度设计本身进行严格评估的方法——支持对制度结构和意义的可靠且细致入微的表示的方法——的关注仍然相对缺乏。制度语法 (IG) 就是这样一种方法，在过去十年中越来越突出。现有的应用程序验证了 IG 在严格评估制度设计方面的效用，并突出了 IG 在实施与政策和行政学术相关的概念方面的价值。
