- The Colonial Origins of Comparative Development is a 2001 article written by Daron Acemoglu, Simon Johnson, and James A. Robinson and published in American Economic Review. It is considered a seminal contribution to development economics through its use of European settler mortality as an instrumental variable of institutional development in former colonies. The theory proposed in the article is that Europeans only set up growth-inducing institutions in areas where the disease environment was favourable, so that they could settle. In areas with unfavourable disease environments to Europeans, such as central Africa, they instead set up extractive institutions which persist to the present day and explain much of the variation in income across countries. Other theories explored in the article argue that it is the choices of institutions by and in the country that result in the effective and efficient use of resources in leading to a successful development of that country. Important issues with the data and analysis have been identified, causing some doubt as to the accuracy of these results. (en)
- The colonial origins of comparative development ist der Titel eines 2001 von Daron Acemoğlu, Simon Johnson und James A. Robinson im Journal American Economic Review (AER) veröffentlichten Artikels. Der Artikel beschäftigt sich mit der Entwicklungsökonomie und versucht die Frage zu beantworten, welche die Ursachen für Unterschiede in den Pro-Kopf-Einkommen zwischen verschiedenen Ländern sind. Als Hauptursache der Einkommensunterschiede und ökonomischen Leistungsfähigkeit eines Landes wird die Qualität von Institutionen angeführt; eine exakte Definition aber nicht genannt. Ein Staat mit besseren Institutionen im Sinne dieser Arbeit sorgt insbesondere für sichere Eigentumsrechte. (de)
