政治不稳定-——如政府的非正常更迭,不可能变更全部的制度,即使是正式制度(因为新政府以新制度替代旧制度存在一个时滞:制度双轨制?)。并且,一般而言,由于非正式制度根植于一国(或者地区)的文化传统之中,是一国(或者地区)文化的核心(正式制度必须与之相契合才能持续存在),因此,即使发生了政府的非正式更迭,非正式制度被替代的可能性也极小(成本太高)。由此,虽然一个社会发生了政府的非正常更迭,如果原来的制度被证明有效率(正式制度与非正式制度实现了均衡),那么制度的整体变更就不会发生,因为新政府仍然面临着替代约束。
The dependent variable is economic performance which is highly sensitive to your trembling hand in institutional designs. Even if the chunk of old instituions are intact, investors may still be shocked. And given other choices in the international market, investors may no longer be willing to continue their business in a political instable society. This is espcially true in the shadow of civil war. Can you justify your speculation in that case? I know it is a hard case. However, a successful proof in a hard case shows the robustness of your theory.
