Political bargaining, religion, and educational development
Formal Western education in Nigeria was initiated by various Christian missionaries in 1842, and they continued to dominate the education system after independence in 1960. In a bid to reshape the education system, the military government centralised education management and outlawed missionary and other private school ownership in the 1970s following a civil war. Focusing on this forceful takeover of schools from religious bodies, this paper dis…
Education for Control and Liberation in Africa and among the Black Diaspora
We review research on the history of education policy in colonial sub-Saharan Africa and among the African Diaspora in the United States and Brazil through a political economy lens. While the supply of education was severely constricted in all of these cases, demand for education remained strong. Thus, even as authoritarian states have attempted to restrict educational supply for social control, the strength of the demand—and the accompanying ped…
Expressway to Votes
This paper provides causal evidence on how political parties can sway voters at scale in nascent electoral democracies. We collect novel data on expressway construction by the Justice and Development Party in Turkey and use province-by-year variation in construction to show that votes for the Justice and Development Party increased in response to the expressways. The estimates imply that the expressways increased the Justice and Development Party…
Historical Christian missions and African societies today
Christian missionaries spread across the African continent in the early twentieth century following the expansion of colonial control, and invested in various areas of African societies in order to gain converts. This paper describes the recent literature in economic history that attempts to document and estimate the long-run impacts of Christian missions, including outstanding issues in the literature. The paper summarizes recent studies that at…
Things fall apart? Missions, institutions, and interpersonal trust
New technology, better economy? The heterogeneous impact of colonial railroads in Nigeria
Six decades after independence
What forces drive regional economic divergence? This study identifies colonial-era missions as an institutional force in shaping economic relations in Ghana. We conceptualize Christian missions as an institution, in its solid form, as the educational infrastructure and trade networks developed, and in its formal form, as advancing new rules that governed cultural and trade development. We use survey data, a map of mission stations, data on coloni…
