Subsequently published as: "The Colonial Origins of Comparative Development: An Empirical Investigation." American Economic Review 91(5):1369-1401.
"We exploit differences in the mortality rates faced by European colonialists to estimate the effect of institutions on economic performance. Our argument is that Europeans adopted very different colonization policies in different colonies, with different associated institutions." |
