  • A Dozen MIT Faculty and Alumni Who Are Shaping the Future of Economics
    24/9/2014 MIT Spectrum | Continuum | A Dozen MIT Faculty and Alumni Who Are Shaping the Future of Economics A DOZEN MIT FACULTY AND ALUMNI WHO ARE SHAPING THE FUTURE OF ECONOMICS September 23rd, 2014 MIT Sloan professor Kristin Forbes PhD ’98 is one of three economists on the IMF’s “Generation Next” list to be both MIT alumnus and faculty member. The International Monetary Fund (IMF) has populated nearly half its “Generation Next” list—which celebrates 25 economists under the age of 45—with MIT faculty and alumni. In some cases, the featured economists are both: Esther Duflo PhD ’99, Amy Finkelstein PhD ’01, and Kristin Forbes PhD ’98 all hold endowed chairs in MIT’s Department of Economics. The 12 scholars listed below study poverty and health care, education and real estate, crime and taxes. What they have in common is that the international finance community deems them “economists to keep an eye on” for the way they are shaping global thought—and that they’ve spent time honing their ideas on MIT’s campus. Melissa Dell PhD ’12, a Harvard assistant professor who at age 31 ties as the youngest on the IMF’s list, has studied how government crackdowns on drug violence can influence economic outcomes. Her most recent publication, whose coauthors include MIT’s Benjamin Olken, looks at the economic effects of climate. Esther Duflo PhD ’99 is MIT’s Abdul Latif Jameel Professor of Poverty Alleviation and Development Economics, and a founder and director of the Abdul Latif Jameel Poverty Action Lab (J-PAL).

  • The Persistent Effects of Peru's Mining Mita
    Econometrica, Vol. 78, No. 6 (November, 2010), 1863–1903 THE PERSISTENT EFFECTS OF PERU’S MINING MITA BY MELISSA DELL1 This study utilizes regression discontinuity to examine the long-run impacts of the mita, an extensive forced mining labor system in effect in Peru and Bolivia between 1573 and 1812. Results indicate that a mita effect lowers household consumption by around 25% and increases the prevalence of stunted growth in children by around 6 percentage points in subjected districts today. Using data from the Spanish Empire and Peruvian Republic to trace channels of institutional persistence, I show that the mita’s influence has persisted through its impacts on land tenure and public goods provision. Mita districts historically had fewer large landowners and lower educational attainment. Today, they are less integrated into road networks and their residents are substantially more likely to be subsistence farmers. KEYWORDS: Forced labor, land tenure, public goods. 1. INTRODUCTION THE ROLE OF HISTORICAL INSTITUTIONS in explaining contemporary underde- velopment has generated significant debate in recent years.2 Studies find quan- titative support for an impact of history on current economic outcomes (Nunn (2008), Glaeser and Shleifer (2002), Acemoglu, Johnson, and Robinson (2001, 2002), Hall and Jones (1999)), but have not focused on channels of persistence. Existing empirical evidence offers little guidance in distinguishing a variety of potential mechanisms, such as property rights enforcement, inequality, ethnic fractionalization, barriers to entry, and public goods. This paper uses variation in the assignment of an historical institution in Peru to identify land tenure and public goods as channels through which its effects persist.

We find three primary results. First, higher temperatures substantially reduce economic growth in poor countries but have little effect in rich countries. Second, higher temperatures appear to reduce growth rates in poor countries, rather than just the level of output.

  • Weak States: Causes and Consequences of the Sicilian Mafia
    Weak States: Causes and Consequences of the Sicilian Mafia∗ Daron Acemoglu Giuseppe De Feo Giacomo De Luca MIT University of Leicester University of York LICOS, KU Leuven November 2018. Abstract We document that the spread of the Mafia in Sicily at the end of the 19th century was in part caused by the rise of socialist Peasant Fasci organizations. In an environment with weak state presence, this socialist threat triggered landowners, estate managers and local politicians to turn to the Mafia to resist and combat peasant demands. We show that the location of the Peasant Fasci is significantly affected by a severe drought in 1893, and using information on rainfall, we estimate the impact of the Peasant Fasci on the location of the Mafia in 1900. We provide extensive evidence that rainfall before and after this critical period has no effect on the spread of the Mafia or various economic and political outcomes. In the second part of the paper, we use the source of variation in the strength of the Mafia in 1900 to estimate its medium-term and long-term effects. We find significant and quantitatively large negative impacts of the Mafia on literacy and various public goods in the 1910s and 20s. We also show a sizable impact of the Mafia on political competition, which could be one of the channels via which it affected local economic outcomes. We document negative effects of the Mafia on longer-term outcomes (in the 1960s, 70s and 80s) as well, but these are in general weaker and often only marginally significant.
