Myths and Realities of Long-run Development: A Look at Deeper Determinants
By. Lubna Hasan, The Pakistan Development Review, 2007, vol. 46, issue 1, pages 19-44
IT HAS long been realised that factor accumulation and technological development are only proximate causes of economic development, and the focus has now shifted to investigating the ‘deeper determinants’ of economic growth.
Two such forces are highlighted in the literature: institutions and geography. However, it remains controversial as to which of these two is the more important. The “institutions school” assigns primal importance to institutions, whereas the “geography school” considers geographical factors as the primary determinant of the economic performance of countries.
This paper reviews the debate surrounding these “deeper determinants” of economic performance. It reviews the work of these two schools of thought and their interpretation of the long-run development. The paper then examines the evidence provided by the respective schools in favour of their hypotheses. It concludes in favour of the Institutions hypothesis as the Geography school does not provide a consistent story of long-run development.

Benar juga ya. Walaupun Kapital sudah banyak (via Saving atau AID) atau tenaga kerjanya sudah banyak dan berkualitas, atau penerapan teknologinya sudah makin canggih, tetap saja kita tidak dapat menikmati pertumbuhan yang makin mantab dari waktu ke waktu.
Mestinya ada faktor atau variabel lain, yang menjadi penentu pertumbuhan yang lebih dalam dan lebih sesungguhnya.
Artikel ini sangat menarik untuk memahami Deeper Determinants dari Long-run Development.
Bagaimana juga dengan variabel penentu pertumbuhan dan pembangunan Daerah Kabupaten dan Kota?
