This collection of studies addresses the importance of institutions in the process of wealth creation for low-income households in Brazil, as well as commodity market developments in Ethiopia. In Brazil, land institutions are shown to have large impacts on poverty outcomes, when wealth levels are sufficient. Infrastructure is found to go hand in hand with the establishment of strong institutions in Ethiopia. Decentralized infrastructure development in Ethiopia is found to support efficiency between dependent markets in times of price volatility. Additionally, in cases where infrastructure is insufficient, advanced institutional developments may be less effective on market performance and efficiency in developing countries.
