Why Do Prosocial People Dislike Markets in Some Countries and Like Them in Others
Based on the doux commerce thesis, which suggests that people in market‐oriented societies hold stronger prosocial values than those in less market‐oriented ones, one can expect prosocial and pro‐market values to be positively associated. The fact that the association holds for cross‐country observations but does not universally hold for cross‐individual observations within countries is a puzzle, the paper argues, and it explains this by assuming…
Should the UK have joined the Euro while in the EU? New evidence using the synthetic control and synthetic difference-in-differences methods
The question of whether the euro promotes development in adopting countries remains open, with the answer likely varying across cases. Taking the UK as an example, this paper investigates whether the UK would have had a higher per capita GDP had it adopted the European currency in 1999. The study utilizes two conceptual frameworks derived from the literature, which offer potentially opposing predictions regarding the euro’s impact on economic dev…
Why does the confidence in companies, but not the confidence in the government, affect the demand for regulation differently across countries
In an attempt to contribute to the literature on how and why confidence in market participants and in the government shape the demand for market regulation, this paper contrasts two interpretations. The interpretation implicit in the empirical literature supposes that people trade off market failures for government failures. The paper argues that implicit in the broader public choice literature there is an alternative that emphasizes the nirvana …
Do political or ethnic and historical borders affect values and beliefs more? Some evidence from Central Europe
The paper uses data from the World Values Survey and the European Values Study on individuals in Hungary and its neighbouring countries to examine the effects of political borders on different beliefs, as opposed to that of ethnic differences or historical borders. The focus on Hungary and its neighbours is explained by the fact that parts of the Hungarian ethno-linguistic community can be found in all these countries, which makes it possible to …
The impact of culture on FDI disentangled
The most important concern of this paper centers on the question of whether the difference in inward FDI across countries is a result of the fact that destination countries have different cultures, or the fact that they are more distant culturally from the origin country than others? We argue that answering this question requires disentangling the impact of culture, which consists of separating two effects: the “level” (the former) and the “dista…
The consistency of market beliefs as a determinant of economic freedom
Accepting the view that beliefs about the market determine the policies and institutions of economic freedom, this paper considers the cross-country consequences of the fact that these beliefs are not one-dimensional and they may be inconsistently distributed over these dimensions. The paper asks the question of whether cross-country differences in the consistency of market beliefs help explain the cross-country differences in areas of economic f…
Institutions and policies of economic freedom
Why are civil liberties more important than executive constraints in economic development? A property rights approach
This paper develops a simple model that helps understand an important fact concerning cross-country pattern of growth and institutions shown by BenYishay and Betancourt (2010). They show that civil freedoms, especially one of their components called Autonomy and Individual Rights, are more important determinants of economic development than constraints on executives, a widely used measure in the literature on institutions and growth. The paper pr…
