Abstract: Quantitative panel studies of the political economy of the cape colony Erik Green, Professor at Lund University in Sweden, investigates the legacy of a settler colony by focusing on quantitative panel studies of the political economy of the Cape Colony. Institutions, commonly defined as the “rules of the game” in a society, play a key role in shaping a country’s ability to grow out of poverty. Given this, the variation in institutions across time and space in general and why growth-impeding institutions tend to persist, in particular, has received much attention among scholars in recent decades.
