About this event
The role of political institutions in shaping economic activity is central to recent scholarship in economics. However, these institutions are historically shaped, and examining them from a historical perspective is crucial for a deeper understanding of economic development. This workshop convenes leading scholars who focus on the broad spectrum of institutions in historical contexts, as well as those examining the interplay between institutions and culture in influencing economic outcomes.
The organisers of the event are Tim Besley, Carmine Guerriero, Mohamed Saleh and Melanie Xue.
