El presente trabajo pretende aportar nuevas evidencias acerca de los factores que determinan la calidad institucional. Dada las deficiencias que presentan los indicadores existentes al respecto, una primera parte se orienta a discutir los criterios exigibles a una institución de calidad. Sobre esos criterios se definen las relaciones que serán objeto de exploración en el trabajo empírico posterior. De acuerdo a los resultados obtenidos, son el propio nivel de desarrollo, la equidad en la distribución de la renta, la existencia de un sistema impositivo eficaz y el nivel educativo los principales determinantes de la calidad institucional. Por el contrario, algunas de las variables tradicionalmente planteadas en la literatura (localización geográfica, fragmentación étnica, tradición jurídica u origen colonial) o bien no tienen incidencia en la calidad institucional una vez que se controla por el nivel de desarrollo o su efecto es indirecto, a través de las variables anteriormente mencionadas.
