族群比例是非洲政治最重要的特征之一。它影响内战、在政府职位上的代表性、分配和分配政策。在本文中,我们使用民族划分作为一个自然实验,以估计这些民族的份额对发展的影响。我们表明,较大的群体在发展方面具有优势,划分本身对发展并不重要。这一结果的解释是,只有在由此产生的群体相对较小的情况下,分治才是重要的,因为他们缺乏政治代表性,可能会削弱对机构的支持,可能会对政策和族裔/区域公共产品的提供产生偏见。
The share of ethnic groups is one of the most important features of African politics. It affects civil wars, representation in government positions, distributive and allocative policies. In this paper, we use the partition of ethnic groups as a natural experiment in order to estimate the effect of the share of these ethnic groups on development. We show that larger groups have an advantage in terms of development and that the partition in itself does not matter for development. This result is explained by the fact that the partition matters only when the resulting groups are relatively small, since their lack of political representation may weaken support for institutions, may bias policies and the provision of ethnic/regional public goods.
