    Content: "It is widely assumed by economists that growth- an increase in GDP, or the value of our output and expenditure- is essential to thriving, developed economies. The more we produce and consume, the better our living standards, public resources, and employment options. While few would deny that growth is an important measure of economic success, many see it as just one window to a healthy economy. As co-author of a leading undergrad textbook, Dietrich Vollrath is well versed in the factors that contribute to growth and in the reasons it is so exalted. And yet he questions whether a slowdown in growth, like the one currently experienced in the US and elsewhere, is truly and holistically a failure of the economy. Our living standards aren't falling and firms are not failing. Could it be that growth and the factors that contribute to it are not as indicative or influential as we once thought them to be? Indeed, Vollrath argues that the slowdown is a manifestation of our economic success. In Optimal Stagnation, Vollrath focuses largely on the US economy and investigates a number of important trends: a fall in the number of workers relative to the population, the shift from a goods-driven economy to a services-driven one, the slowing in turnover of workers and the slower rate of entry and exit by firms, as well as the decline in geographic mobility. He maps what growth measurement does and doesn't tell us-which factors are rightly correlated with economic success, which ones tell us nothing about significant changes in the economy, and which ones fall into a conspicuously grey area"--

    Content: Research on credit markets from developing economies, as well as work on the origin of institutions in general, has suggested that land inequality may play a role in determining financial development. In this paper we establish empirically that initial land inequality is a significant predictor of financial depth across countries, even while controlling for other predictors such as legal origin, ethnic fractionalization, and income inequality. To examine this relationship we have created a new measure of land distribution within countries that builds upon the work of Deininger and Squire (1998) by explicitly accounting for landlessness. In addition to being a significant predictor of financial development, land inequality is found to be uncorrelated with other fundamental characteristics of economies, suggesting its possible use in a wider range of research.

    Content: There are several theories linking land inequality with aspects of economic development. Empirical work on these theories has attempted to establish a relationship between land inequality and institutions, financial development, and education. This research, though, has relied on measures of land inequality that capture only inequality within the class of landholders, ignoring completely the issue of landlessness. This omission raises suspicion about the usefulness of those empirical results. We use a new measure of the breadth of landholdings across the agricultural population to address this issue. We test the proposed relationships regarding land inequality and development using the new measure. The regressions fail to find significant and robust relationships between land inequality of either type and institutions or financial development. We do find that lower land inequality across agricultural populations, but not inequality within the landholding class, is associated with greater public provision of education.
