报告摘要：Using cross-country data and instrumental variables widely used in the literature, we show that (i) institutions (such as property rights and the rule of law) do not explain industrializationand (ii) agrarian countries and industrial countries have entirely different determinants for income levels. In particular, it is geography rather than institutions that explain the income differences among agrarian countries, while institutions appear to matter only for industrial economies’ income variations. Moreover, we found that it is the stage of economic development that explains a country’s quality of institutions, rather than the other way around. The finding that institutions do not explain industrialization but are instead
explained by industrialization (or the stage of development) lends support to the well-received view among prominent economic historians—that institutional changes in 17-18 century England did not cause the Industrial Revolution.
