1 Informalität und Wachstum in Entwicklungsländern (The Informal Sector and Economic Growth in Economic Development) Dozent: Prof. Dr. Stefan Klonner Blockseminar SWS: 2 Leistungspunkte: 7 Studiengänge: Diplom VF/WPF Entwicklungsökonomie, nach Rücksprache auch Entwicklungspolitik und Dynamische Makroökonomik; Bachelor Wirtschaftswissenschaftliches Seminar Datum: Juni 2010 Ort: Haus Bergkranz, Kleinwalsertal Sprachen: Deutsch und Englisch Nähere Informationen und Themenliste: per E mail (klonner@wiwi.uni frankfurt.de) Seminarinhalt Low income countries are often characterized by a weak legal system and inefficient public administration. For example, courts may be slow and public officials including the police may be corrupt. As a consequence, formal contracts as well as property rights are difficult or excessively expensive to enforce. This poses severe problems to the functioning of various markets. For example, labor contracts can hardly be enforced through the legal system and hence a laborer may not show up at the work place when his work is urgently needed by the employer. In the credit market, a lender may not be able to enforce her claims or seize collateral when the borrower is in default. When the formality of a contract, which is typically a necessary condition for its legal enforcement, fails to add any value, informal contracts and institutions tend to dominate. In such situations, contracts may have to remain incomplete (for example, collateral may not be used as security in a credit contract). Alternatively, contract enforcement may have to rely on alternative mechanisms, such as reputation building, peer pressure, networking, repeated interaction, or the threat of physical violence. In this seminar, we will identify the characteristics of informality in the context of lowincome countries, and examine how informality can lead to inefficient market outcomes and a slow down of growth. Seminar Format Based on background readings and an academic article, each student will elaborate on one specific informal economic institution or market, and its role for development and growth. Topics include informal labor markets (including casual labor), informal firms, informal
2 Page 2 credit, land markets when property rights are lacking, interlinked transactions (linkage between two markets, e.g. labor and credit), and social networks. The seminar paper (Seminararbeit) will be due two weeks before the presentations. For assignment of a topic and registration, please contact Stefan Klonner before February 5, The estimated cost of participation including travel, lodging and food is 150.
