On The Politics of Property Rights by Haber, Razo, and Maurer
评述哈伯等人关于墨西哥1876-1929年政治不稳定时期经济持续增长的研究,并检验其解释在非洲数据中的适用性。
Stephen Haber et al. explore economic growth in key sectors of the Mexican economy, 1876–1929, an era of political instability and (1914–17) civil war. The authors demonstrate that economic growth continued amidst political instability and offer an explanation for their conunterintuitive finding. Reviewing the evidence advanced by the authors, Robert Bates summarizes and comments on their argument, and applies it to “out of sample” data from Africa.
