James Robinson, Ragnar Torvik and Thierry Verdier

Journal of Development Economics, 2014, vol. 106, issue C, 194-198

Abstract: In this note we show how a considerably simpler model than the one in our original JDE 2006 paper generates all the same results. We also acknowledge an error in the specification of a utility function in our previous paper.
