Geography vs. institutions at the village level
Grimm, Michael; Klasen, Stephan - 2008
There is a well-known debate about the roles of geography versus institutions in explaining the long-term development … Robinson (2001) was to address this last point by using settler mortality as an instrument for geography-induced endogenous … mechanisms from geography via institutions to economic development outcomes. In particular, we examine the determinants of …

Institutional development and colonial heritage within Brazil
Naritomi, Joana; Soares, Rodrigo Reis; Assunção, … - 2009
This paper analyzes the determinants of local institutions and distribution of political power within a constant 'macro-institutional' setting. We show that characteristics of Brazilian municipalities related to institutional quality and distribution of political power are partly inherited from...

Exchange rate regimes and trade
Adam, Christopher; Cobham, David - Money Macro and Finance Research Group - 2007
