“…(2009) ample cross-country studies document the impact of legal origins on institutions, corruption, financial development and gender inequality (Albouy, 2012;La Porta et al, 2008;Jayachandran, 2015;Salahodjaev, 2015c). For instance Potrafke & Ursprung (2012) find that gender institutions are stronger in nations with communist common laws as compared to nations with English common law.…”

This paper makes an attempt to explore whether intelligence of nations is related to gender inequality, measured by Social Institutions and Gender Index (SIGI), in developing countries.Related literature robustly links intelligence to economic development, poverty, quality of institutions and informal economic activity. Controlling for conventional antecedents of gender inequality (i.e. religion, political regime, legal origins and trade openness), this paper finds that, on average, a 10-point increase in national IQ scores in the developing world is associated with an 8.2 point reduction in SIGI, ceteris paribus. To test the robustness of our findings we apply instrumental variables (IV) and robust regression methods. We also test whether our results are sensitive to the choice of control variables and heterogeneity of nations in our sample. The negative association of intelligence with gender inequality remains statistically significant and intact in all cases.

“…Firstly, it is well acknowledged that countries with higher average IQ will experience a higher level of socioeconomic development. As outcomes of their more-positive cultures, high IQ societies are associated not only with higher economic growth and productivity (Jones & Schneider, 2006, but also with greater institutional quality such as less corruption, less inequality of gender, enhanced financial development, more democratic regime and political freedom, more efficient bureaucracies, and better rule of law (Lynn & Vanhanen, 2012;Potrafke, 2012;Salahodjaev, 2015;Salahodjaev & Azam, 2015).…”

This paper aims to reassess Burhan et al."s (2014, Intelligence, 47, 12-22) findings on the impact of intelligence (IQ) on the crime rates at a crosscountry level. People who belong to the intellectual group, characterized by IQ at the 95 th percentile of a normal distribution were found to have a tremendous impact in terms of crime rate reduction, compared to those with average ability (50 th percentile IQ). This was proven using the ordinary least squares (OLS). Other than that, people of non-intellectual class (5 th percentile IQ) were found to be least important in reducing crime. However, in their study, many independent variables were stated as not significantly related to the crime rates, which contradicts with other literature. It is questionable if the presence of serious outliers in the samples causes the objectionable finding. In this study, we analyzed the impact of IQ classes on the rate of eight different types of crimes, namely homicide, rape, kidnapping, robbery, assault, burglary, property crimes, and vehicle theft. Analysis was carried out using the Tukey"s Bisquare robust M-estimator that mitigates the effects of outliers in the samples. In conclusion, we have proved that those from the intellectual

“…(Hunt & Wittman, 2008 p. 1). In addition, studies have also shown that intelligence is robustly related to shadow economy (Salahodjaev, 2015a), financial development (Salahodjaev, 2015b), corruption (Potrafke, 2012), sustainability (Salahodjaev, 2016a) anddeforestation (2016b) To mitigate the potential omitted variable bias, we include a vector of bio-geography control variables. Masters & MacMillan (2001) explore the role of geography and climate in convergence of income across the globe.…”

A clearer understanding of the causal variables of economic development is paramount object of interest for policymakers, researchers and economical analysts. Scholars share the general agreement that economic development is an important tool to alleviate poverty and foster human development. In this study, we explore the role of individualism and intelligence on economic development. These results will show that both individualistic values and national IQs have positive effect on GDP per capita. Moreover, the effect of intelligence appears to be more significant in Latin America.
