This paper discusses the role of institutions as determinant of development, which in numerous studies is claimed to trump all other potential determinants. The authors find, for given effects of institutional quality, quantitatively important direct negative performance effects of a measure of disease ecology, namely malaria prevalence. They conclude that implementing good institutions appears to be necessary but not sufficient to generate a persistent process of successful economic development.
