Sunlight, culture and state capacity
Kyklos, Volume 77, Issue 2, Page 285-315, May 2024.Abstract This paper examines the impact of ultraviolet radiation (UV‐R) on state capacity. The results indicate that the intensity of UV‐R is a strong predictor of cross‐country differences in state capacity. Countries with a higher degree of UV‐R exposure tend on average to have weaker states.
