Measures of Social Isolation (2017, methodology): “…specific aspects of social cohesion – e.g., neighbourhood cohesion – (Kim, Park and Peterson 2013; Cagney et al. 2009; Stafford et al. 2003), or more instrumental and narrow definitions in which the richness of the concept gets diffused (see, for example, Easterly, Ritzen, and Woolcock 2006).”
THE DETERMINANTS OF INSTITUTIONAL QUALITY. MORE ON THE DEBATE (2013, neutral): “Easterly and Levine (1997), Alesina et al. (2003) or Easterly et al. (2006) found evidence supporting this hypothesis.”
Defining and Measuring Social Cohesion (2010, background): “…that building social cohesion – through the construction and maintenance of high-quality institutions pursuing the common good, and through the lowering of economic (and other) divisions – has been, and remains, a vital task for countries wrestling with development’ (Easterly et al., 2006: 111).”
Resource curse: An analysis of causes, experiences and possible ways forward (2007, background): “Easterly et al. (2006) have argued that social cohesion generates trust and confidence between governments and citizens.”
Inequality, Democracy, and Institutions: A Critical Review of Recent Research (2010, neutral): “Rather similar results (and approach) can also be found in Easterly et al. (2006).”
What Makes Growth Sustained? (2008, background): “…less equal and cohesive societies experience lower and more volatile growth, perhaps because social conflict breeds populist policies (Sachs, 1989) or because it leads to weaker institutions and a reduced capacity for managing external shocks (Rodrik, 1999, Easterly, Ritzen, and Woolcock, 2006).”
CORRUPTION'S DIRECT EFFECTS ON PER‐CAPITA INCOME GROWTH: A META‐ANALYSIS (2014, methodology): “For example, Easterly et al. (2006) and Aidt et al. (2008) use the ethnic fractionalisation index as instruments for corruption.”
Interventions to promote social cohesion in sub-Saharan Africa (2010, methodology): “…the causes and consequences of social upheaval, violence, misallocation of aid, entrenched poverty, slow or negative economic growth, and failures to realise welfare gains from market-oriented economic reforms (Colletta and Cullen 2000, Ritzen et al. 2000, Easterly et al. 2006, Winters 2008).”
The Long-Term Effects of Africa's Slave Trades (2008, neutral): “…ethnic diversity and economic growth by Easterly and Levine (1997), subsequent research by La Porta et al. (1999), Alesina et al. (2003), Aghion, Alesina, and Trebbi (2004), and Easterly, Ritzan, and Woolcock (2006) looks more deeply into why ethnic fractionalization is important for development.”
Social isolation: A conceptual and measurement proposal (2014, neutral): “…et al. 2009; Stafford et al. 2003), or more instrumental and narrow definitions in which the richness of the concept gets diffused (see, for example, Easterly, Ritzen, and Woolcock 2006). recognises this problem and calls for more work on the development of solid indicators for measuring social…”
