It presents a model of two styles of imperialism that integrates the colonial origin and endowment views explaining current institutions. The authors argue that Great Britain and Portugal adopted an ‘economically-oriented’ style, which was pragmatic and sensitive to initial conditions. For this style of imperialism the endowment view is applicable. In contrast, France employed a ‘politically-oriented’ style of imperialism, in which ideological and political motivations were more present. This led to a uniform colonial policy that largely disregarded initial endowments. In turn, the case of Spain represents a hybrid of the two models. The empirical analysis presented here reveals a remarkable degree of heterogeneity in the relationship of endowments and colonizer identity with current institutions. .Contributions to Economics,1431-1933Development economicsInternational economicsEurope—Economic conditionsEvolutionary economicsEconomic developmentDevelopment Economicshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/W42000International Economicshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/W33000European Economicshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/W45030Institutional/Evolutionary Economicshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/W53010Development Studieshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/913000Development economics.International economics.Europe—Economic conditions.Evolutionary economics.Economic development.Development Economics.International Economics.European Economics.Institutional/Evolutionary Economics.Development Studies.338.9Oto-Peralías Danielauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut914223Romero-Ávila Diegoauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/autBOOK9910255030903321Colonial Theories of Institutional Development2048320UNINA
