Resumen

Este artículo analiza cómo individuos e instituciones se influyen mutuamente en contextos económicos y políticos. Mediante una revisión de la literatura, se examina el papel del diseño institucional sobre la participación electoral, el voto estratégico, la representación femenina, las políticas públicas o la salud mental, así como los mecanismos mediante los que la ciudadanía influye en las instituciones, tales como el voto, los medios de comunicación y los grupos de presión. Se muestra cómo el diseño institucional condiciona los incentivos, las decisiones y los resultados de los agentes económicos y es clave para objetivos como la representatividad, la rendición de cuentas y el bienestar.
