    Stefanie Gäbler prepared this study while she was working at the ifo Center for Public Finance and Political Economy. The study was completed in March 2020 and accepted as doctoral thesis by the Department of Economics at the University of Munich. It consists of six distinct empirical essays investigating various aspects of regional development using data from Germany. Chapters 2 and 3 investigate the impact of transport infrastructure in the form of an regional airport and highway expansion. Chapters 4 and 5 examine institutions at the local level, namely local public accounting standards and local election systems. Chapter 6 deals with the topic of regional identity. The chapters employ difference-in-differences, event study and synthetic control estimations to answer the respective research questions.

    People's trust in state and political institutions is a key foundation of a well-functioning economy. We estimate the impact of direct elections on people's trust in state and political institutions, using a major political reform in Indonesia as the source of exogenous variation. Prior to 2005, regents, mayors, and governors were elected by the local legislative assembly. Since 2005, however, they have had to compete in an open election where voters directly choose their preferred leader. The historically and institutionally driven staggered implementation of these local direct elections allow us to identify the causal impact of the reform. We find that district direct elections increase trust in all state and political institutions, except for the police. However, our finding does not hold in districts that experienced moderate or high hostility during the elections, implying that trust is strongly influenced by the political situation. We also empirically show that the increase in trust took place simultaneously with improvements in economic outcomes.
