Another Tale of Two Cities: A Note on Institutions in Hong Kong and Singapore

Beatrice Weder di Mauro and Aymo Brunetti

Journal of Institutional and Theoretical Economics (JITE), 2000, vol. 156, issue 2, 313-

Abstract: This note focuses on one of the factors common to Singapore's and Hong Kong's successful development: They both have an exceptionally good institutional framework for doing business. Data from a world-wide private enterprise survey are presented showing that local businessmen almost uniformly awarded both Singapore and Hong Kong top marks in important institutional dimensions such as: the predictability of rule making, political stability, property rights security, judicial enforcement, and freeedom from corruption in the bureaucracy.
