| Research Abstract |
We have focused on the role of democracy and institutional factors in economic development and have mainly studied the following three research topics: (1) the effects of ethnic diversity and political regimes on public goods provision, particularly health conditions, (2) the effects of financial openness and institutions on international capital flows, and (3) the effects of corruption and financial globalization on economic growth. We find that democracy and institutional factors contribute to not only economic growth but also economic development in a broad sense, such as public good provision.
