Title: The Transmission of Democracy: From the Village to the Nation-State

Author(s): Paola Giuliano and Nathan Nunn

Publication Date: January 2013

Keyword(s): democracy, historical persistence and local institutions

Programme Area(s): Economic History and Labour Economics

Abstract: We provide evidence that a history of democracy at the local level is associated with contemporary democracy at the national level. Auxiliary estimates show that a tradition of local democracy is also associated with attitudes that favor democracy, with better quality institutions, and higher level of economic development.
