Field of Study: Economics
Research Description: Eric Chaney will investigate the mechanisms through which exploitative institutions both persist and dampen growth using microlevel institutional variation from the Kingdom of Valencia, Spain, from 1575 until the present day. Preliminary results suggest that these institutional arrangements decreased incomes, stymied the development of the nonagricultural sector, and increased criminal activity.
