Abstract

This paper revisits the Institutions and growth models. Econometric techniques have been
applied on cross-country data, just to confirm the apriori knowledge that Institutions effect
on growth is positive and highly statistically significant. This evidence was confirmed by all
four models. OLS proved as a better technique for our data than 2SLS, this simply because
overidentification test showed that instrument cannot be considered exogenous, also
Hausman test showed that OLS is better than 2SLS at 1% and 5% levels of significance.
G2SLS estimator and Fixed effects panel estimators just confirmed the results from the OLS
and 2SLS. As a proxy variable for institutions we used Rule of law variable, also as
instruments were used revolutions and Freedom house rating as well as War casualties
variables. Also as conclusion here Trade is insignificant in influence to GDP growth
compared with quality of institutions.
