FERNANDEZ-MUNOZ, María Adelaida. Institutions and successful regional coffee production in Colombia. Rev.econ.inst. [online]. 2014, vol.16, n.30, pp.215-240. ISSN 0124-5996.

Institutions play a fundamental role in explaining different development paths of countries and regions. More equitable institutions provide better incentives and enhance overall long term performance. This paper analyses the effect of the institutional arrangements in the structure or land property rights from the nineteenth century, and through it, the success of regional coffee production in the twentieth century.

Keywords : Economic history; property rights in land; institutions and regional development; coffee.
