Institutions of Conflict Management and Economic Growth in the European Union

Abstract

We examine both benefits (production-enhancing cooperation) and costs (taxes and rent-seeking) of institutions of conflict management, like corporatism and trust, in the context of a simple growth model. Contrary to previous research, we predict a non-linear relationship between institutions and growth. The empirical evidence from a panel for the years 1961-95 shows that neo-corporatism and trust have each had independent positive effects on long-run growth in the EU. Under an increasing size of government, however, both institutions lead to a dominating negative rent-seeking effect. Copyright 2001 by WWZ and Helbing & Lichtenhahn Verlag AG
