Institution Subtype

This dimension sorts economic institutions by their more specific subtype within a broader institution type. Wikipedia notes that international organizations "vary in terms of: inclusive or exclusive membership; broad or narrow scope; equal or unequal control by members," variation that produces several distinct subtypes even within one broad kind. Browsing by subtype keeps institutions of the same specific shape grouped together.
