• The Price of Legal Institutions: The Beratl Merchants in the Eighteenth-Century Ottoman Empire AI翻译
  作者：University of Arizona
  摘要：In the eighteenth century, European embassies in the Ottoman Empire started selling exemption licenses called berats, which granted non-Muslim Ottomans tax exemptions and the option to use European law. I construct a novel price panel for British and French licenses based on primary sources. The evidence reveals that prices were significantly high and varied across countries. Agents acquired multiple berats to enhance their legal options, which they exploited through strategic court switching....

Differences in background, including initial location, cannot account for racial differences in destination choices. Black...

We trace this failure to the 1884 law's faulty incentives and to an initial unwillingness to use the tools built into the law. The government regulator increasingly stressed rules that forced firms to adopt specific safety-enhancing innovations and practices. Econometric analysis show...
