Abstract

The purpose of this study is to analyze the impact of common law, latitude and ethno-linguistic fractionalization indicators of countries on the per capita income. According to the estimate results that were obtained from the data of 146 developed and developing countries between 1990-2012, legal system and latitude have a positive impact on per capita income that is statistically meaningful. On the other hand, ethno-linguistic fractionalization have a negative impact on per capita income that is statistically meaningful. But the impact of ethno-linguistic fractionalization on the per capita income in developed countries is taking a positive turn, which is statistically meaningful. Amongst other variables, latitude has a negative and legal structure has a positive impact of per capita income. In developed countries, common law and latitude have a positive and ethnical variables have a negative impact on per capita income
