Cervellati, Matteo; Sunde, Uwe - 2009

In this paper we investigate the causal effect of life expectancy on economic growth by explicitly accounting for the role of the demographic transition. In addition to focusing on issues of empirical identification, this paper emphasizes the role of the econometric specification. We present a...

The effect of migration on income growth and convergence : meta-analytic evidence

Ozgen, Ceren; Nijkamp, Peter; Poot, Jacques - 2009

We compare a set of econometric studies that measure the effect of net internal migration in neoclassical models of long-run real income convergence and derive 67 comparable effect sizes. The precision-weighted estimate of beta convergence is about 2.7%. An increase in the net migration rate of...

Are all democracies equally good? : The role of interactions between political environment and inequality for rule of law

Sunde, Uwe (contributor); Cervellati, Matteo (contributor); … - 2007

Using cross-country data, we find evidence for a significant negative interaction effect between democracy and inequality in determining the quality of growth-promoting institutions like rule of law. Democracy is associated with institutions of higher quality when inequality is lower.

The economic and demographic transition, mortality, and comparative development

Cervellati, Matteo; Sunde, Uwe - 2013

We propose a unified growth theory to investigate the mechanics generating the economic and demographic transition, and the role of mortality differences for comparative development. The framework can replicate the quantitative patterns in historical time series data and in contemporaneous...

Cervellati, Matteo; Jung, Florian; Sunde, Uwe; Vischer, … - 2012

Acemoglu, Johnson, Robinson, and Yared (2008) document that the cross-country correlation between income per capita and democracy disappears once including country fixed effects. This paper tests the hypothesis that the effect of income on democracy might differ systematically across countries....

Since the early 1990s many empirical studies have been conducted on the impact of international migration on international trade, predominantly from the host country perspective. Because most studies have adopted broadly the same specification, namely a log-linear gravity model of export and...

Democratization, violent social conflicts, and growth

Cervellati, Matteo; Sunde, Uwe - 2011

This paper investigates the empirical role of violent conflicts for the causal effect of democracy on economic growth. Exploiting within-country variation to identify the effect of democratization during the "Third Wave", we find evidence that the effect of democratization is weaker than...
