“…While meta-analysis methods have been applied within economics in numerous fields such as labor economics (Card and Krueger, 1995;Card et al, 2010;Chetty et al, 2011), development economics (Askarov and Doucouliagos, 2015;Benos and Zotou, 2014;Doucouliagos and Paldam, 2010), and international economics (Bumann et al, 2013;Havranek and Irsova, 2011;Irsova and Havranek, 2013), there has been no meta-analysis examining the effect of natural resources on economic growth.…”

Land Inequality and Economic Growth: A Meta-Analysis

2018

Increasing commercial pressure on land may lead to land concentration in developing countries, especially in the context of complex systems of property rights. In this article we review through meta-analysis (MA) the econometric findings of the literature estimating the nexus between land inequality and economic growth. In particular, our MA controls for various features of the studies and for the so-called “publication bias,” and shows that land-inequality negatively affects economic growth, especially at low development levels. Analysis based on panel data, which generally imply a relatively short run perspective, typically report a lower or positive correlation between land inequality and growth, suggesting that the negative impact of land inequality emerges in the long run, possibly through credit constraints and institutional mechanisms.

“…Private aid may support formal government institutions, but is also more likely to flow directly to local communities and populations that need it most (Abegaz, 2005;Easterly and Pfutze, 2008). Much private aid remains outside of the formal institutions of a country (Maizels and Nissanke, 1984), given as privatized foreign assistance aimed at community and grassroots-level improvements (Askarov and Doucouliagos, 2015;Clemens et al, 2007;Kosack, 2003). This is often described as 'third sector' aid, since it operates outside of both individual citizens of a country and the government of that country (Morton, 2013;Sakai, 2002).…”

Official development aid – monetary transfers to developing countries to promote social and economic development – reached more than $140 billion in 2016. However, traditional forms of government bilateral aid continue to decline, while private aid is rising. Nevertheless, the impact of this aid, including its potential to stimulate economic development through new business formation, remains uncertain. In this study, we examine the impact of three sources of monetary aid flows on formal and informal entrepreneurship. Drawing from the international political economy literature we argue that bilateral aid and private aid are associated with higher levels of informal entrepreneurship, while multilateral aid is accompanied by lower levels. Moreover, we show that bilateral and private aid are linked with lower levels of formal entrepreneurship, while multilateral aid has no impact. The analyses of a panel of 313 observations from 49 countries provide robust support for these arguments.
