This paper applies a Bayesian model averaging algorithm to systematically evaluate the “law matters” literature and finds that the positive cross-country relationship between anti-self-dealing rules and stock market development proposed by Djankov, La Porta, Lopez-de-Silanes, and Sheifer (2008, Journal of Financial Economics 88: 430-465) is fragile. In contrast, proxies for information disclosure, political power of incumbents and economic development are found to have strong predictive power for stock market outcome variables. Finally, variant sets of variables are shown to predict stock market development, which rejects the “one-size-fits-all” specification employed in previous macro law and finance studies | Truth and robustness in cross-country law and finance regressions: A bayesian analysis of the empirical “law matters” thesis
