Landlockedness and economic development : analyzing subnational panel data and exploring mechanisms

Jetter, Michael; Mösle, Saskia; Stadelmann, David - 2017

This paper revisits the hypothesis that landlocked regions are systematically poorer than regions with ocean access, using panel data for 1,527 subnational regions in 83 nations from 1950-2014. This data structure allows us to exploit within-country-time variation only (e.g., regional variation...

Aid and growth : new evidence using an excludable instrument

Dreher, Axel; Langlotz, Sarah - 2015

We use an excludable instrument to test the effect of foreign aid on economic growth in a sample of 96 recipient countries over the 1974-2009 period. We interact donor government fractionalization with a recipient country's probability of receiving aid. The results show that fractionalization...
