Institutions for High-Quality Growth: What They are and How to Acquire Them
Open accessAbstract
This paper opens with a discussion of the types of institutions that allow markets to perform adequately.While we can identify in broad terms what these are, there is no unique mapping between markets and the non-market institutions that underpin them.The paper emphasizes the importance of "local knowledge," and argues that a strategy of institution building must not over-emphasize bestpractice "blueprints" at the expense of experimentation.Participatory political systems are the most effective ones for processing and aggregating local knowledge.Democracy is a meta-institution for building good institutions.A range of evidence indicates that participatory democracies enable higher-quality growth.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
