Abstract: Are there contemporary development effects of African resistance to European domination? This question is the primary issue addressed by this study. We establish that African resistance has had adverse effects on post-colonial African development and discuss possible channels of such causality. This relationship is robust to alternative models and to controlling for the outliers. The empirical evidence is based on instrumental variable and treatment effect estimation techniques.
