New Evidence

Winners and losers of elections have different stakes in protecting democratic institutions. We provide new evidence for the effects of partisanship and economic performance on support for checks and balances and acceptance of their infringement. Using survey data from 26 European countries, we show that voters who feel close to a political party that lost the elections support checks and balances significantly more than other citizens. We also find that higher satisfaction with the economy is associated with lower support for checks and balances. Our experiment in Ukraine shows that supporters and opponents of the governing party have divergent evaluations of a reform potentially infringing on the independence of the judiciary. Those in opposition find such reforms less acceptable and justified. Again, we find that improved economic performance leads to higher acceptance of judicial reform. Our results confirm that citizens’ support for checks and balances is contingent and volatile.

New Evidence

The question of whether institutional quality is an important driver of growth has been the subject of a growing literature in both developed and developing economies across the globe. This study revisits this relationship in Nigeria from 1981Q1 to 2016Q4 and discusses the relevant policy implications for post Covid-19 Nigeria. The study adopted the ARDL approach which uses a bounds test approach based on unrestricted error correction model (UECM) to test for a long run relationship among the relevant variables. The findings indicate that institutional quality impacts negatively but insignificantly on growth in Nigeria, both at the aggregate and sectoral levels. However, initial output growth levels, capital and labour were found to be important drivers of growth in the country, while trade is growth-retarding. The study concludes that in this post Covid-19 era in Nigeria, there is need to improve the quality of socio-economic and political institutions in the country so that a more robust impact of these institutions can be felt in the economic performance of the country both at the aggregate and sectoral levels.
