Institutions of conflict management and economic growth revisited: a short note

We study the effects of institutions of conflict management like corporatism, trust, civic norms and group membership on economic growth. By employing Schneider and Wagner's (Kyklos, 2001, 54, pp. 509-532) model and data from 1990–2011, we show that corporatism (still) has a positive coordination effect and a negative rent-seeking effect. The total effect is positive for most countries.
