Clans in Transition: A Political Economic Analysis
نویسندگان
چکیده
It is often important to take country specific institutional features into account in a political economic analysis. We do so in an analysis of Albania. It is argued that the politico-economic system there is characterized by the existence of clans. We study the role of clans by estimating vote functions. The results show major differences across clans in response to government policies. Estimation without taking account of clans leads to a bias in the conclusions. The existence of clans may be related to poorly functioning formal institutions. Therefore, clans are more prominent in countries in transition than in established democracies. JEL-codes: D72, P26
