Factors of production, productivity, institutions, and development: Evidence from Brazil

“…Therefore, they would be more prone to develop extractive institutions in relation to those more distant from Portugal or less suitable for colonial economic activities. Nakabashi (2021), Souza (2019), and Menezes-Filho et al ( 2006) employ variables of previous Brazilian censuses, mainly the first Brazilian Census of 1872, as instruments. The main past variables used as instruments are the proportion of slaves, European immigrants, whites, voters, and children at school, and the literacy of the population.…”

“…The literature suggests that the geographical and historical characteristics would indirectly affect economic performance through the colonial heritage, but not directly. Suzuki et al (2022), Nakabashi (2021), Pereira et al (2021), Jahan et al (2020), Souza (2019), Leivas and Dos Santos (2018), Niquito et al (2018), Musacchio et al (2014), Nakabashi et al (2013), Naritomi et al (2012), Mattos et al (2012), Naritomi (2007), and Menezes-Filho et al (2006) are some of the studies addressing the relationship between institutions and development in Brazil. Their results highlight the importance of institutional quality in determining income levels and inequality.…”

Spatial heterogeneities, institutions, and income: Evidence for Brazil

“…In the appendix, we point out some limitations of this index. The MIQI is a well‐established measure of institutional quality in the literature (Bologna & Ross, 2015; Jahan et al, 2020; Jonasson, 2011; Leivas & Dos Santos, 2018; Nakabashi et al, 2013; Naritomi et al, 2012; Nakabashi, 2021; Niquito et al, 2018; Pereira et al, 2021). (Naritomi et al, 2012) defend that the MIQI “captures the efficiency of the local executive in terms of administrative capacity, as reflected by its ability to provide public goods and its potential responsiveness to demand of the local population.” Table 1 brings the components of the index (Ministry of Planning, 2001).…”

“…We use the Municipal Institutional Quality Index (MIQI) as the measure of institutional quality. It is a well‐established measure of institutional quality in the literature (Bologna & Ross, 2015; Jahan et al, 2020; Jonasson, 2011; Leivas & Dos Santos, 2018; Niquito et al, 2018; Nakabashi et al, 2013; Naritomi et al, 2012; Nakabashi, 2021; Pereira et al, 2021). The MIQI is based on local government financial and fiscal performance and civil participation in the local government.…”

“…De fato, estudos empíricos comparando várias nações e regiões apresentam evidências de que a formação e o desenvolvimento das instituições são pontos-chave para se entender o processo de crescimento nos diferentes países e regiões. Estudos realizados para municípios e regiões do Brasil, como Naritomi et al (2012) e Nakabashi (2020), chegaram a resultados semelhantes.…”
