Este artículo presenta el problema de los elefantes blancos desde una perspectiva institucionalista. Analiza los incentivos económicos y electorales de los políticos que generan ineficiencia en los llamados "megaproyectos".

Comentario de nuestros editores:

La fuente de este contenido es una página que busca abordar temas complicados de forma simple para proveer un marco de análisis económico al ciudadano común. Este artículo es una muy buena muestra de la forma en que los neoclásicos (en este caso el político es racional y egoísta) estudian la economía política y el funcionamiento de las instituciones. Es decir, de qué forma las instituciones ofrecen no promueven la alineación de incentivos entre políticos y población. Ejemplifican la extrema gravedad del problema y muestran que con pequeños cambios institucionales se podría lograr grandes cambios sociales.

Trade Barriers to Development explored through various lenses
A central question in development economics literature is, “Why do countries stay poor?” The key disagreements are whether the lack of economic growth stems from institutions or from geography (Nunn 2009). From an institutional perspective, hostile tariff regimes and commodity price dependencies form a barrier to a sectoral shift that would otherwise lead to economic development in developing countries (Blink and Dorton 2011) (Stiglitz 2006).[i]

Global Value Chains in economic development
Level: leicht
Global Value Chains in economic development
Global Value Chains (GVCs) started to play an increasing and key role in the global economy from the 1990s on. The market mechanism in GVCs supports industrialisation in the Global South and under certain conditions product and process upgrading. But GVCs do not lead to the catching-up of countries in the sense of them approaching real GDP per capita levels comparable with developed countries. These arguments are supported by a critical interpretation of the traditional trade theory, the New Trade Theory and specific approaches to explain GVCs, especially different governance structures and power relationships. Several case studies support these arguments. For catching-up, countries need comprehensive horizontal and vertical industrial policy and policies for social coherence. The small number of countries which managed to catch up did this in different variations.
