• Does Infrastructure Really Explain Economic Growth in Sub-Saharan Africa? (2016, neutral): “…revised to include several ariables, notably government spending (infrastructure), human apital, protection of property rights and market distortions (see arro, 1996), has been criticized on several grounds including ts failure to explain technological progress and cross-country ncome differences.”
• Does Religion Affect Economic Growth and Happiness? Evidence from Ramadan* (2015, neutral): “First, religious practices impose an immediate trade-off, as they require time and resources that are then unavailable for production.”
• The economic case for education† (2016, neutral): “Important contributions include, among others, Barro (1991, 1997), Mankiw, Romer, and Weil (1992), Bils and Klenow (2000), Bosworth and Collins (2003), de la Fuente and Doménech (2006), Vandenbussche, Aghion, and Meghir (2006), Cohen and Soto (2007), Aghion et al.

• OLIGARCHIC VERSUS DEMOCRATIC SOCIETIES (2008, neutral): “In fact, cross-country evidence suggests that, despite the presence of some very unsuccessful dictatorships, democratic countries have not experienced faster growth than nondemocratic countries in the postwar era (see, e.g., Barro, 1999).”
• Instruments, Randomization, and Learning about Development (2010, neutral): “…variables— the mortality of colonial settlers is not influenced by current institutional arrangements in ex-colonial countries (Daron Acemoglu, Simon Johnson, and James A. Robinson 2001) nor does the country's growth rate today influence the identity of their past colonizers (Barro 1998).”
• Regional, national, and spatially explicit scenarios of demographic and economic change based on SRES. Technol Forecast Soc Chang (2007, neutral): “Rostow [35] and Barro [36] provide a convincing interpretation of the historical experience of successful economic development in most OECD and “Asian tiger economies”: economic growth is ceteris paribus higher for economies further away from the productivity frontier than for countries close to it.”
