Bureaucracy and Growth: A Cross-National Analysis of the Effects of 'Weberian' State Structures on Economic Growth
Using a data set on core economic agencies in 35 developing countries for 1970 to 1990, the authors build a 'Weberianness Scale' of meritocratic recruitment and predictable long-term careers and find it associated with higher economic growth after controls.

- Note
- Association across 35 developing countries, not randomized. No quote registered: the scan's text layer is badly garbled by OCR, so exact wording could not be copied. The abstract reads (through the garbling) that the Weberian characteristics 'significantly enhance prospects for economic growth, even when we control for initial levels of GDP per capita and human capital'; upgrade to quote-checked from a clean JSTOR copy. The companion paper Rauch and Evans (J. Public Economics 75(1):49-71, 2000) is registered separately.
