In 1995, the GAO identified hundreds of Fed. programs (FP) that supported economic development (ED) either directly or broadly. In addition, it noted that there was a lack of agreement on the definition of "ED" and that mission fragmentation and program overlap existed among FP that support ED. This report: (1) identifies FP that more directly fund ED activities, including the level of financial support that they provide; and (2) compares selected aspects of these FP, such as program applicants, to identify areas of potential overlap. The report also provides a broad discussion of the potential role of the Government Performance and Results Act of 1993 in addressing overlap among FP.

Abstract: Levels of economic development vary widely within countries in the Americas. This paper argues that part of this variation has its roots in the colonial era. Colonizers engaged in different economic activities in different regions of a country, depending on local conditions. Some activities were "bad" in the sense that they depended heavily on the exploitation of labor and created extractive institutions, while "good" activities created inclusive institutions. The authors show that areas with bad colonial activities have lower gross domestic product per capita today than areas with good colonial activities. Areas with high pre-colonial population density also do worse today. In particular, the positive effect of "good" activities goes away in areas with high pre-colonial population density. The analysis attributes this to the "ugly" fact that colonizers used the pre-colonial population as an exploitable resource. The intermediating factor between history and current development appears to be institutional differences across regions and not income inequality or the current ethnic composition of the population.
