Abstract: We use a new dataset from Burundi to analyze the role of local institutions as
determinants of income, distinguishing between three distinct dimensions of the institutional
framework: (i) property rights security, (ii) local political leadership and (iii) social capital.
Using measures of conflict intensity during the civil war as instruments for local institutional
quality, we demonstrate that property rights security is the most significant driver of longterm
income. These insights extend earlier results from cross-country income regressions,
and confirm the scope for institutional reform to lift African communities out of poverty.

Keywords: Property rights security, social capital, local goveance, civil war, economic

Source: The American Economic Review, Vol. 91, No. 5 (Dec. , 2001), pp. 1369-1401 We exploit differences in European mortality rates to estimate the effect of institutions on economic performance. Europeans adopted very different colonization policies in different colonies, with different associated institutions. In places where Europeans faced high mortality rates, they could not settle and were more likely to set up extractive institutions. Th...

Cambridge University Press, 1990. - 159 p. Continuing his groundbreaking analysis of economic structures, Douglass North develops an analytical framework for explaining the ways in which institutions and institutional change affect the performance of economies, both at a given time and over time. Institutions exist, he argues, due to the uncertainties involved in human interaction; they are the constraints devised to structure that interaction....
