Why do some countries produce more capital intensive output than others? by Toukan, Amjad

“…The intuitive explanation of my hypothesis is that the risk of expropriation by corrupt government officials is higher in the case of capital-intensive projects due to the larger size of the prize (many economists argue that it is easier for a corrupt government official to expropriate large non-standard capital-intensive projects as opposed to smaller standardized labor-intensive projects), so in countries where the quality of governance is low, investors prefer to invest in labor-intensive projects with lower output per worker instead of capital-intensive projects with higher output per worker. …”
