Kommentar
This seminar discusses the political determinants of economic and social development. Which types of political regimes foster economic growth? How do societies develop under democratic or autocratic rule? What role do political and social institutions or the legal system play? How does political conflict impact development? To tackle these questions, we will discuss seminal articles covering several historical periods and world regions.
Readings are heavily biased towards recent empirical papers with a credible causal identification strategy. Participants will engage with seminal literature and critically analyze empirical studies. Schließen
