We believe there is value-added to consider the institutions hypothesis at the micro level within a country to analyze the exact transmission channels linking endogenous institutional change to development outcomes. Given the central importance of agricultural productivity improvements for initiating the process of economic development, we focus on the transmission mechanisms that lead to the emergence of institutions relevant for agricultural development, thereby incorporating insights from the literatures on demographic influences of institutional change, induced innovations, as well as the central role of land rights in our analysis. Our main argument is that in conditions of relative land abundance, geographic factors influence rural-rural migration flows to geographically well-endowed regions which in turn give rise to migration-induced land scarcity. Land scarcity in turn, provides incentives to formalize landownership. Eventually, formalized land rights increase investment in land and enhance the adoption of new and better technologies promoting agricultural growth and economic development. We provide empirical evidence for this hypothesis using longitudinal village and household survey data from Indonesia."],["dc.identifier.uri","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gro-2/14898"],["dc.language.iso","en"],["dc.notes.status","final"],["dc.publisher","Courant Research Centre PEG"],["dc.relation.crisseries","Discussion Papers (Courant Research Centre \"Poverty, Equity and Growth in Developing and Transition Countries: Statistical Methods and Empirical Analysis\")"],["dc.relation.ispartofseries","Courant Research Centre: Poverty, Equity and Growth - Discussion Papers; 14"],["dc.title","Endogenous Institutional Change and Economic Development: A Micro-Level Analysis of Transmission Channels"],["dc.type","working_paper"],["dc.type.internalPublication","unknown"],["dspace.entity.type","Publication"]]

We use this framework to study empirically deforestation patterns at the rainforest margin. To this end we specify an empirical model that can explore the causal chain ranging from geographic conditions via institutional change to economic development and deforestation. We estimate this model using a unique data set of villages at the rainforest margin in Indonesia. Our results show that geography-induced institutional change is the key driver of technological change in our villages. The bad news is that some of these processes along the causal chain seem to promote deforestation. The good news is that economic development, conditional on these effects, appears to reduce deforestation."],["dc.identifier.uri","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gro-2/14900"],["dc.language.iso","en"],["dc.notes.status","final"],["dc.publisher","Verein für Socialpolitik, Research Committee Development Economics"],["dc.relation.conference","German Development Economics Conference"],["dc.relation.eventend","2009"],["dc.relation.eventlocation","Frankfurt"],["dc.relation.eventstart","2009"],["dc.relation.ispartof","Institutions, Economic Development, and Deforestation,\" Proceedings of the German Development Economics Conference"],["dc.title","Institutions, Economic Development, and Deforestation"],["dc.type","conference_paper"],["dc.type.internalPublication","unknown"],["dspace.entity.type","Publication"]]

These debates have usually been based on cross-country regressions where questions about parameter heterogeneity, unobserved heterogeneity, and endogeneity cannot easily be controlled for. The innovation of Acemoglu, Johnson and Robinson (2001) was to address this last point by using settler mortality as an instrument for geography-induced endogenous institutions and found that this supported their line of reasoning. We believe there is value-added to consider this debate at the micro level within a country as particularly questions of parameter heterogeneity and unobserved heterogeneity are likely to be smaller than between countries. Moreover, at the micro level it is possible to identify more precise transmission mechanisms from geography via institutions to economic development outcomes. In particular, we examine the determinants of economic development across villages on the Indonesian Island of Sulawesi and find that geography-induced endogenous emergence of land rights is the critical institutional link between geographic conditions and technological change. We therefore highlight and empirically validate a new transmission channel from endogenously generated institutions on economic development."],["dc.identifier.uri","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gro-2/14915"],["dc.language.iso","en"],["dc.notes.status","final"],["dc.publisher","Institute for the Study of Labor"],["dc.relation.crisseries","Discussion Paper Series (Forschungsinstitut zur Zukunft der Arbeit)"],["dc.relation.ispartofseries","IZA Discussion Papers; 3391"],["dc.title","Geography vs. Institutions at the Village Level"],["dc.type","working_paper"],["dc.type.internalPublication","unknown"],["dspace.entity.type","Publication"]]

Our results show that inequality in human development within countries is high, both in developed and industrialized countries.
