Poor countries are not located only in Africa, but…

Remark: This PPT
contains elements taken
from Professor Ben
Olken’s lecture on
Foundations of
Development Policy
(2016)
1. Are not randomly distributed throughout the world
2. Are hot;
3. Have been colonized by the Europeans
1. Understanding the root causes of African
Underdevelopment since the 1960s
• About the weather (not always true): Singapore is hot
and rich; Central Asian countries are cold and poor
• About colonization: Thailand and Ethiopia were not
colonized but are poor; the US, Canada, New Zealand,
and Australia were colonized but are rich.
• So, why is Africa underdeveloped?
4
1. Understanding the root causes of African
Underdevelopment since the 1960s
There are lots of explanations to why African countries are
underdeveloped.
• Slave trade
• Colonialism
• Ethnic diversity
• Geography (Climate; temperature)
• Abundance in natural resources
• Lack of democracy; bad governance
• Others.

Underdevelopment since the 1960s

Slave trade: “The African countries that are the poorest today are the one from
which the most slaves were taken” (Nunn, 2008).
Because slavery involved
theft, bribery, use of brutal
force, which in turn led to
increase in corruption of
state institutions, and
impeded formation of large
states (Nunn, 2008)

1. Understanding the root causes of African
Underdevelopment since the 1960s
Colonialism: “Settler mortality Hypothesis” (see, Acemoglu,
Johnson, and Robinson, 2001) >
In place where the Europeans colonizers wanted to live themselves,
colonizers set up good institutions to replicate Europe…
In places where they wanted to extract resources, colonizers set up
institutions to allow themselves to extract resources…

since the 1960s

Ethnic diversity: “Severity and duration of violence (i.e., state-driven conflict and violence against civilians) are higher
in the historical homelands of portioned groups; Military interventions from neighboring countries are much more likely in the
homelands of split groups; Partitioned ethnicities are systematically discriminated from the national government and are more
likely to participate in ethnic civil wars”.

1. Understanding the root causes of African
Underdevelopment since the 1960s
Geography (temperature, climate): “Temperature affects
economic growth Hypothesis” (see, Jones and Olken,
2011) >
Hot countries tend to have lower economic growth in poor countries…
because hot temperature affects industrial output, agriculture, etc.

since the 1960s

Abundance in natural resources:
“Countries richly endowed with non-renewable natural resources, in
particular oil and minerals, tend to display low level of economic
development” (Sachs and Warner, 1995). This is because, natural
resource extraction is likely to lead to conflict, corruption, and other
adverse economic effects. Resource Curse hypothesis

Lecture 2

  • 1. Economic and Political Development in Africa After Colonization Hanyang University Ben Katoka (PhD)
  • 2. Outline 1. Understanding the root causes of African Underdevelopment since the 1960s 2. Economic and political development in Africa since the 1950s 3. A brief discussion of Botswana, Ethiopia, Nigeria, and South Africa 4. Political vs. economic development: Approaching the dilemma in Africa 5. Discussion 2
  • 3. 1. Understanding the root causes of African Underdevelopment since the 1960s Poor countries are not located only in Africa, but… 3 Remark: This PPT contains elements taken from Professor Ben Olken’s lecture on Foundations of Development Policy (2016) 1. Are not randomly distributed throughout the world 2. Are hot; 3. Have been colonized by the Europeans
  • 4. 1. Understanding the root causes of African Underdevelopment since the 1960s • About the weather (not always true): Singapore is hot and rich; Central Asian countries are cold and poor • About colonization: Thailand and Ethiopia were not colonized but are poor; the US, Canada, New Zealand, and Australia were colonized but are rich. • So, why is Africa underdeveloped? 4
  • 5. 1. Understanding the root causes of African Underdevelopment since the 1960s There are lots of explanations to why African countries are underdeveloped. • Slave trade • Colonialism • Ethnic diversity • Geography (Climate; temperature) • Abundance in natural resources • Lack of democracy; bad governance • Others. 5
  • 6. 1. Understanding the root causes of African Underdevelopment since the 1960s 6 Slave trade: “The African countries that are the poorest today are the one from which the most slaves were taken” (Nunn, 2008). Because slavery involved theft, bribery, use of brutal force, which in turn led to increase in corruption of state institutions, and impeded formation of large states (Nunn, 2008)
  • 7. 1. Understanding the root causes of African Underdevelopment since the 1960s 7
  • 8. 1. Understanding the root causes of African Underdevelopment since the 1960s Colonialism: “Settler mortality Hypothesis” (see, Acemoglu, Johnson, and Robinson, 2001) > In place where the Europeans colonizers wanted to live themselves, colonizers set up good institutions to replicate Europe… In places where they wanted to extract resources, colonizers set up institutions to allow themselves to extract resources… 8
  • 9. 1. Understanding the root causes of African Underdevelopment since the 1960s 9 Ethnic diversity: “Severity and duration of violence (i.e., state-driven conflict and violence against civilians) are higher in the historical homelands of portioned groups; Military interventions from neighboring countries are much more likely in the homelands of split groups; Partitioned ethnicities are systematically discriminated from the national government and are more likely to participate in ethnic civil wars”. Military Source: Michalopous and Papaionnou (2015)
  • 10. 1. Understanding the root causes of African Underdevelopment since the 1960s Geography (temperature, climate): “Temperature affects economic growth Hypothesis” (see, Jones and Olken, 2011) > Hot countries tend to have lower economic growth in poor countries… because hot temperature affects industrial output, agriculture, etc. 10
  • 11. 1. Understanding the root causes of African Underdevelopment since the 1960s 11 Abundance in natural resources: “Countries richly endowed with non-renewable natural resources, in particular oil and minerals, tend to display low level of economic development” (Sachs and Warner, 1995). This is because, natural resource extraction is likely to lead to conflict, corruption, and other adverse economic effects. Resource Curse hypothesis Source: Michalopous and Papaionnou (2015)
