Abstract: | The role of bureaucratic authority structures in facilitating economic growth has been a sociological concern since Max Weber's classic contributions almost 100 years ago. Using a recent and original data set, the authors examine the characteristics of core state economic agencies and the growth records of a sample of 35 developing countries for the 1970-1990 period. The authors' "Weberiannes Scale" offers a simple measure of the degree to which these agencies employ meritocratic recruitment and offer predictable, rewarding long-term careers. |
