Public Choice v. 192, n. 3-4, September 2022, p. 357-376Summary: We present a simple model, illustrating how democracy may improve the quality of the economic institutions. The model further suggests that institutional quality varies more across autocracies than across democracy and that the positive efect of democracies on economic institutional quality increases in people’s human capital. Using a panel data set that covers 150 countries and the period from 1920 to 2019, and diferent measures of economic institutional quality, we show results from fxed efect and instrumental variable
regressions that are in line with the predictions of our model.
