The Political Economy of Growth: A Critical Survey of the Recent Literature and Some New Results

Perotti, Roberto; Alesina, Alberto

"Two of the most active fields in economics in the last few years have been growth theory
and macro-political economy. The first one was inspired by new "endogenous growth
theories" to reconsider which economic factors influence economic development. Recent
research in "macro political economy" has explored the connections between politics,
institutions and macroeconomic policies and outcomes."
