| Path Dependence | Acemoglu | Acemoglu I 114 Path dependence/colonies/Acemoglu/Robinson: Western Europe, experiencing many of the same historical processes, had institutions similar to England at the time of the Industrial Revolution. There were small but consequential differences between England and the rest, which is why the Industrial Revolution happened in England and not France. >Critical junctures/Acemoglu, >Institutional drift/Acemoglu. E.g., The French Revolution was another critical juncture that led the institutions of Western Europe to converge with those of England, while Eastern Europe diverged further. The rest of the world followed different institutional trajectories. Colonies/poverty/prosperity: European colonization set the stage for institutional divergence in the Americas, where in contrast to the inclusive institutions developed in the United States and Canada extractive ones emerged in Latin America, which explains the patterns of inequality we see in the Americas. The extractive political and economic institutions of the Spanish conquistadors in Latin America have endured, condemning much of the region to poverty. |

| Path Dependence | Political Philosophy | Mause I 583 Path Dependence/Political Theories: according to comparative welfare research, political maneuverability in social policy (...) is limited by past decisions. This is described by the term path dependency (Pierson 1996 (1), 2004 (2) Seal 2002 (3)). Example: Statutory pension insurance schemes financed by social security contributions give reasons for ownership on the part of the insured. The longer such a system exists, the stronger the restrictions on possible changes to this system will be. >Social policy, >Politics, >Political decisions. 1. Pierson, Paul. 1996.

| Path Dependence | Carbonara | Parisi I 469 Path dependence/social norms/Carbonara: Fairness: The interplay of honor, stigma, and the law is often responsible Parisi I 470 for the perpetuation of such rules. Banabou and Tirole (2011)(1) show how such forces, together with the expressive power of the law, may explain why people resist legal changes that would enhance efficiency and lead to more “effective” laws. Societies tend to renounce cruel and unusual punishments, even if potentially very effective, to express the value they attribute to being civilized. Similar forces may explain the resilience to change discriminatory norms, as this might undermine the current design of institutions or reduce job availability for people belonging to dominant social groups. >Social norms, >Laws, >Efficiency, >Civilization. 1.
