- Abstract
Describing and explaining institutional change constitutes a major challenge for the new institutionalist research program. This article discusses key conceptual, methodological, and practical issues in analyzing change in formal institutions. Conceptually, it suggests four analytical approaches that differ with regard to the trade-off between breadth of coverage and analytical depth. Methodologically, we develop new software tools that allow a largely automated identification of changes in formal rules and that permit a valid, quantitative measurement of the amount of changes in a text. We demonstrate the application of the four approaches and the new tools using data on changes in parliamentary rules in European democracies and discuss further fields of application.
