"In cross-national studies, scholars typically ignore the moderating effect of credibility on the\r\nrelationship between property rights protection and economic growth. However, both theory\r\nand case evidence suggest that credibility is necessary for this relationship to exist. Using panel\r\ndata spanning more than 100 countries from 1985-2005, this paper investigates if two credibility\r\nmechanisms - precedent and the constitution - moderate the relationship between property rights\r\nprotection and economic growth. The findings suggest that a credible commitment to property\r\nrights protection is a necessary condition for such protection to enhance economic performance.\r\nThe implications of these findings are twofold: 1) property rights reforms are unlikely to be\r\nsuccessful in countries that cannot credibly commit to those reforms, and 2) unsuccessful property\r\nrights reforms at present may reduce the likelihood that future reforms will be successful."^^ .
