October 2010 15:05 UTC LAND ABUNDANCE AND ECONOMIC INSTITUTIONS: EGBA LAND AND SLAVERY, 1830-1914 JAMES FENSKEy ABSTRACT. The “land abundance” view of African history uses sparse population to ex- plain economic institutions. I use colonial court records to show that the Egba of Nigeria fit this theory’s predictions. Before 1914, the Egba had poorly defined land rights, relied on dependant and forced labor, and used labor to secure loans. These institutions re- sponded to the changing availability of land, labor and capital. An initial period of land scarcity altered land ownership. A market existed for the most valuable land. Slaves were used by those with better opportunities to acquire them, and credit expanded after the introduction of tree crops. 1. INTRODUCTION According to the “land abundance” view of African history, the continent’s economic institutions before colonial rule were decisively shaped by its sparse population (Austin, 2008, 2009b; Hopkins, 1973; Iliffe, 1995). With land freely available, land markets were undeveloped and rights were rarely permanent or individual. Wage labor was absent, since potential farmers could work on their own accounts. Instead, slaves, wives and dependants were the principal sources of labor. Because land had no value as collateral, credit markets were characterized by high interest rates, and human pawns were used to secure loans.

  • Global Poverty Estimates: Present and Future
    Working Paper Series Global poverty estimates: Present and future Shatakshee Dhongde Camelia Minoiu ECINEQ WP 2010 – 181 ECINEQ 2010-181 September 2010 www.ecineq.org Global poverty estimates: Present and future Shatakshee Dhongde* Rochester Institute of Technology Camelia Minoiu† IMF Institute Abstract Abstract. We review the recent empirical literature on global poverty, focusing on key methodological aspects. These include the choice of welfare indicator, poverty line and purchasing power parity exchange rates, equivalence scales, data sources, and estimation methods. We also discuss the importance of the intra-household resource allocation process in determining within-household inequalities and potentially influencing poverty estimates. Based on a sensitivity analysis of global poverty estimates to different methodological approaches, we show that existing figures vary markedly with the choice of data source for mean income or consumption used to scale relative distributions; and with the statistical method used to estimate income distributions from tabulated data. Keywords: global poverty, household surveys, national accounts, tabulated data.

In this paper we undertake a novel sensitivity analysis to highlight the importance of methodological choices in estimating global poverty. We measure global poverty using different data sources, parametric and nonparametric estimation methods, and multiple poverty lines. Our results indicate that estimates of global poverty vary significantly when they are based alternately on data from household surveys versus national accounts but are relatively consistent across different estimation methods.

  • On the Relationship Between Economic Integration, Business Environment and Real Convergence: the Experience of the CEE Countries
    economies Article On the Relationship between Economic Integration, Business Environment and Real Convergence: The Experience of the CEE Countries Agnieszka Głodowska * and Bo˙zenaPera Department of International Trade, Cracow University of Economics, 31-510 Kraków, Poland; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected] Received: 20 March 2019; Accepted: 3 June 2019; Published: 11 June 2019 Abstract: The aim of the article is to verify the convergence process of the Central and Eastern Europe (CEE) (CEE10) countries towards Western European countries (EU15) in years 1995–2016. Additionally, the paper aims to show the interaction between economic integration and convergence as well as business environment and growth. The study methods applied in in the article are analysis of the literature and wide range of quantitative methods (descriptive statistics. regression models (OLS and panel), the elements of taxonomic analysis (cluster analysis and Clark’s coefficient of divergence). In the study years, CEE10 and EU15 countries were developing in accordance with the convergence hypothesis. The impact of economic integration on convergence was confirmed as well as the dependence of growth from the business environment in EU10. The added value of the study is the combination of three important research problems: convergence, economic integration and business environment. In addition, the research area concerns the CEE countries, which is very desirable. Many prior studies suggested to elaborate development and business processes in emerging countries like CEE. Thus, the article tries to fulfill this research needs. It has not only cognitive but also utilitarian values. The research results can be taken into consideration by policy makers to create an appropriate development policy and a conducive business environment.

  • Cross-Country Convergence in Income Inequality Shatakshee Dhongde Xing Miao
    Working Paper Series Cross-Country Convergence in Income Inequality Shatakshee Dhongde Xing Miao ECINEQ WP 2013 – 290 ECINEQ 2013 – 290 March 2013 www.ecineq.org Cross-Country Convergence in Income Inequality Shatakshee Dhongde* Xing Miao Georgia Institute of Technology Abstract Neoclassical models imply convergence of the entire distribution, not just the mean income levels. In this paper, we test for convergence in income inequality across countries. We compile extensive data on gini indices over a period of 25 years. Convergence in inequality is tested separately for developed and developing countries, using cross-section and panel data. We estimate a dynamic panel model using the GMM estimator and as well as an efficient OLS estimator for a smaller sample. Our results indicate that during 1980 and 2005 inequality converged across countries. The speed of convergence in gini indices is faster than the conventional 2% per year speed of convergence in per capita income. Developed countries appear to have converged faster than developing countries. The result of convergence in inequality is robust across different time horizons, data sources and estimation methods.

[email protected] 1. Introduction The idea of convergence of per capita income was proposed by Solow (1956) and Swan (1956) as part of the neoclassical growth models. The neoclassical models, due to diminishing returns to factors of production, predict that per capita income in poor countries will eventually converge with that in rich countries.
