Based on the balance theory (Heider, 1958), we hypothesized that emotions (i.e., schadenfreude, resentment, joy and sorrow) induced by other person’s outcomes function as responses restoring balance within cognitive units consisting of the perceiver, other persons and their outcomes. As a consequence, emotional reactions towards others’ outcomes depend on the perceiver’s attitudes in such a way that outcomes of a well-liked person rise congruous responses (sorrow after failure and joy after success), while outcomes of a disliked other lead to incongruous responses (schadenfreude after failure and resentment after success). Our participants recalled a situation from their past in which somebody they liked or disliked had succeed or failed. Additionally, we manipulated whether the outcome referred to a domain where participants’ self-interest was involved or not. We analyzed the participants’ average emotional state as well as specific emotions induced by the recalled events. Consistently with expectations we found that balancing principles played a major role in shaping emotional responses to successes and failures of person who were well-liked or disliked.

W artykule podjęto próbę odpowiedzi na pytanie, czy ekonomia instytucjonalna może być bardziej niż ekonomia neoklasyczna przydatna do wyjaśnienia relacji ekonomicznych i społecznych występujących w ramach instytucji państwa. Obserwowane zakłócenia na linii władze centralne - władze samorządowe, polegające na marginalizacji roli samorządu, mogą negatywnie wpływać na dostarczanie dóbr publicznych i społecznych obywatelom i w konsekwencji prowadzić do nieefektywnego wykorzystania ograniczonych zasobów (nakładów). Poprzez analizę pojęcia instytucji, istoty relacji pomiędzy władzami centralnymi a samorządowymi oraz metod nowej ekonomii instytucjonalnej, takich jak: koncepcja pryncypał-podwładny, koszty transakcyjne, analiza kosztów i korzyści, uznano, że metody nowej ekonomii instytucjonalnej są przydatne w analizie mechanizmu funkcjonowania władz publicznych. Co więcej, podobnie jak w przypadku relacji między gospodarką a instytucjami, tak konieczna jest również równowaga instytucjonalna wewnątrz systemu władz publicznych (państwa)

The author tries to answer the question whether the new institutional economy may be more useful than the neoclassical economy in explaining economic and social relations existing within the institution of the state. The observed disturbances between central and local authorities, notably the attempts to diminish the role of self-government, can negatively affect the provision of public and social goods to the citizens, and consequently, lead to non-effective use of the limited resources and outlays. Based on her analysis of the concept of institution, the essence of the relation between central and local authorities and some concepts and methods of the new institutional economy, such as 'principal - agent' relationship, transaction costs, and cost-benefit analysis, the author concludes that the methods of the new institutional economy are useful in the analysis of the mechanism of the functioning of public authorities. Moreover, as in the case of the relationship between the economy and public institutions, there is a need for an institutional equilibrium within the system of public authorities (the state).
