Democracy Does Cause Growth
NBER, 2015
¿De qué se trata?
Empirical evidence suggests that, contrary to popular perception, democracy has a positive impact on per capita GDP.
Recommendation
In the wake of China’s emergence as an economic superpower, an increasing number of observers have called into question the role of democracy in enabling economic expansion. In fact, some believe it to be an impediment. The empirical evidence in this groundbreaking report from economists Daron Acemoglu, Suresh Naidu, Pascual Restrepo and James A. Robinson suggests that democracy has a positive and measurable impact on per capita GDP and that it doesn’t appear to hinder growth in lesser-developed countries. getAbstract recommends this scholarly study’s findings to executives and investors of all political stripes.
