1 Productivity Differences Within and Between Countries Melissa Dell MIT OECD Lagging Regions Meeting, June 2010 Dell (MIT) Productivity Differences OECD Lagging Regions 1 / 21
2 Motivation Introduction and Conceptual Framework Income differences across geographic space are both large and persistent. This talk provides a comparative perspective from the Americas, in order to: Introduce a context for guaging the generalizability of patterns that emerge in the OECD Highlight methodologies Offer additional insight into why regional inequalities arise and persist Dell (MIT) Productivity Differences OECD Lagging Regions 2 / 21
3 Introduction and Conceptual Framework Outline for Presentation 1 Quantify the magnitude of income differences between regions within countries, relative to the magnitude of income differences across countries. 2 Briefly discusses why differences arise and persist Geography Public infrastructure Example of detailed quantitative study on persistence Dell (MIT) Productivity Differences OECD Lagging Regions 3 / 21
4 Inequality Patterns in the Americas Examining Inequality in the Americas: Data Population censuses and household expenditure surveys for 18 countries in the Western Hemisphere. 11 countries with income data geo-referenced to municipalities (municipality mean population between 26,000 and 108,000) 7 additional countries with data geo-referenced to bigger regions. Results both for labor income and household expenditure. Construct comparable measures across surveys for both. Results both with regionally-deflated incomes and nationally-deflated incomes.

7 Inequality Patterns in the Americas Empirical Strategy Decompose inequality within the Western Hemisphere into between-country, between-municipality and within-municipality differences. Decompose labor income into predicted (from a Mincer regression) and residual components. Relevant for understanding the role of human capital vs. residual factors Residual factors similar to technology in cross-country models (physical capital mobile within national boundaries). Use additively decomposable measures of inequality (from the General Entropy class). Theil Index and Mean Log Deviation Index Dell (MIT) Productivity Differences OECD Lagging Regions 7 / 21
8 Results: Summary Inequality Patterns in the Americas Large within-country differences. Between-municipality differences about half to a quarter of between-country differences with the United States included. Without the United States, about twice between-country. Large between-country predicted income differences Human capital factors explain about half of the between-country and between-municipality differences. Factors related to differences in productive efficiency (i.e. local institutions, public goods) appear important for regional variation.

14 Channels A Historical Example Now we will discuss a study examining the fundamental determinants of sub-national income differences in Andean Peru These income differences are large To understand their origins, we must briefly discuss institutions in colonial Peru Dell (MIT) Productivity Differences OECD Lagging Regions 14 / 21
15 The Mining Mita Channels The mining mita was instituted by the Spanish government in 1573 and abolished in 1812 It required over 200 indigenous communities in Peru and Bolivia to send one seventh of their adult male population to work in the Potosí silver and Huancavelica mercury mines The Potosí mines, discovered in 1545, provided the largest deposits of silver in the Spanish Empire The mita assigned 14,181 conscripts from southern Peru and Bolivia to the Potosí mines and 3,280 conscripts from central and southern Peru to the state-owned Huancavelica mines (Bakewell, 1984, p. 83) Dell (MIT) Productivity Differences OECD Lagging Regions 15 / 21
16 Channels The mita s extent Huancavelica! Potosi! Uyuni Salt Flat Study Boundary Mita Boundary 5000 m 0m Dell (MIT) Productivity Differences OECD Lagging Regions 16 / 21
17 Results Channels The mita s long run effects lower household consumption by around 25% in subjected districts today and increases malnutrition in children by around six percentage points. Channels Land tenure Large negative effect on the concentration of haciendas - few large landowners in mita districts Impact persisted through the 20th century Public goods Mita districts less integrated into road networks Historically lower levels of education Markets and subsistence Residents of mita districts are substantially more likely to be subsistence farmers Dell (MIT) Productivity Differences OECD Lagging Regions 17 / 21
18 Channels Interpretation My hypothesis: The long-term presence of large landowners in non-mita districts provided a stable land tenure system that encouraged public goods provision. Why is public goods provision higher outside the mita catchment? 1 Large landowners controlled a larger percentage of the productive factors (land and labor) 2 Property rights less secure in mita districts Incentives to protect peasant rights to land disappeared when the mita was abolished De facto communal land tenure, numerous land confiscations, widespread livestock rustling and banditry (Flores Galindo, 1987; Jacobsen, 1993; Tamayo Herrera, 1982) 3 Landowners possessed the political connections required to secure public goods Roads twist to pass through as many haciendas as possible (Stein, 1980) Dell (MIT) Productivity Differences OECD Lagging Regions 18 / 21
