“…This confirms the positive relationship between pro-sociality or 'effective democracies' (Inglehart and Welzel, 2005) and socio-economic welfare levels (e.g. Barro, 1996;De Haan and Sturm, 2003;Acemoglu et al, 2019;Colagrossi et al, 2020). The correlation between pro-sociality and political task escalation is similar to Besley and Persson's (2019) relationship between democratic values and acceptance of institutions.…”

“…The solution to the endogeneity of institutions is associated with identification strategies [1,4,7]. M. Colagrossi et al [22] find that democracy has a positive and direct impact on economic growth, but weaker than the impact of human capital. The heterogeneity of the results is due to spatial and temporal differences in the samples, which indicates that the relationship between democracy and growth is not uniform across regions of the world and over decades.…”

The paper presents an overview of methodological approaches to the study of the influence of institutions on macroeconomic indicators characterizing long-term economic growth, although other indicators that are influenced by institutions can be identified: economic growth rate, GDP per capita, saving rate, and total factor productivity. The article analyzes the research of leading scientists conducted within the framework of the institutional theory that explains global inequality and some of its features. In addition to the institutional theory, two more theories compete to explain the causes of global inequality: geographical theory and the theory of cultural influence. Both of these theories are unpromising from the point of view of practical applicability, since geographical, climatic factors, cultural characteristics are not subject to the influence of economic policy within reasonable time limits. Institutional theory explains the inequality of countries by differences in their formal legal and informal social norms that govern the behavior of individuals and structure social interactions. The growing volume of empirical work of this kind has shown that institutions should be considered in the context of alternative approaches (culture and social capital, human capital), alternative econometric methods and alternative strategies for identifying the influence of institutions on macroeconomic indicators (long-term economic growth).

“…Village Governments functioned to conduct policies made by the village head with the BPD. In accordance with the principles of democracy [13], the BPD with the village chief has the obligation to provide reports of village governance to the Regent/mayor [14].

The village has a strategic position as a spearhead as well as a benchmark in implementing and evaluating the national development integrally. In organizing the village government there is a village device that is one of which is the village consultative Institution (BPD) as an institution that carries out the function of democratic government. This research aims to find clarity about the position of BPD in the implementation of democracy at the village level, and analyzing the implementation of the BPD function in the establishment of village regulation. The study was conducted using a normative juridical method of approach, which prioritizes secondary data as the primary source coupled with primary data as complementary. Data analysis is done qualitatively, which is based on theory of law, concept, doctrine, and legislation. The BPD position is a democratic embodiment in the village, which has joint duty with the village head to plan and establish policies in implementing government and Village development. BPD is also a community representative in this matter can participate in the supervision of development and village governance. BPD as a consultative body derived from the village community, has the function of one of the functions of establishing a village regulation which serves as a representation institution of society. In connection with the function of establishing village regulations, the BPD together with the village head set the village rules in accordance with the aspirations that come from society, but not all aspirations of the community can be set in the form of regulations Villages but have to go through various processes. The main findings of this study suggest that the village's representative body has not fully mastered its function as a legislative body in the Village Therefore, there must be guidance and mentoring for the establishment of village regulations that can accommodate the aspirations of village people.
