How do political institutions affect economic outcomes? How do economic conditions determine political institutions? This course reviews recent advances in the emerging field of the political economy of institutions and development, with a focus on formal modeling and quantitative studies. We start with an introduction to the importance of institutions in affecting economic performance. Second, we review some basic models of democratic politics, focusing on the impact of economic conditions (such as inequality) on political outcomes. Third, we cover major theories of democratization, for example studying the effect of income and inequality on institutional change. Fourth, we study basic models of dictatorships, looking at the effect of non-democratic institutions on growth and international conflict. Finally, we take a critical look at the role of institutions and consider the possibility of policy persistence despite institutional change. Course Requirements The course grade is a combination of problem sets (25%), two topic reviews and one topic presentation (25%) and a final exam (50%). Problem sets consist of a handful of mathematical problems related to some articles covered in class. Topic reviews are short written assignments (no longer than six pages) which should summarize three articles on a narrow topic, explain their contribution, the questions that remain unresolved and the approach needed to address these shortcomings. The findings are then presented to the whole class in one topic presentation at the end of the semester. The final exam is a combination of mathematical problems and short essays. Please see the end of the syllabus for a complete schedule of assignments. Texts and References The reading list is long, so as to help you dig deeper in any topic (for a topic review, for example). You are expected to read the references marked with a * prior to coming to class (only those references, but all those references). There is no required textbook for the class. References below are either available as e-reserve from the Blackboard website (ER) or electronically from the Rush Rhees library website or the web more generally (E). Academic Integrity Be familiar with the University’s policies on academic integrity and disciplinary action (http:// www.rochester.edu/College/honesty/students.html). Violators of University regulations on academic integrity will be dealt with severely, which means that your grade will suffer, and I will forward your case to the Chair of the College Board on Academic Honesty. 1
