This paper proposes and empirically validates four theories of why legal origin influences growth and welfare through finance. It is a natural extension of ?Law and finance: why does legal origin matter?? by Thorsten Beck, Asli Demirg??-Kunt and Ross Levine (2003).

(1998) and Beck et al.(2003) hypotheses that English common-law countries tend to have better developed financial intermediaries than French civil-law countries.

Countries with Portuguese legal origin fall in-between.
