abstract = {It is argued that government credibility is an important resource and that it
can be improved by delegating decision-making competence beyond the
nation-state. It is hypothesized that such delegation should result in higher
income and growth. Some former British colonies retained the Judicial
Committee of the Privy Council as their final court of appeals even after
independence. This court is thus taken as a natural experiment to test our
hypothesis. It turns out that retaining the jurisdiction is indeed significant
for explaining economic growth.},
