1 Feudalism and Political Stability
To formalize the intuition presented in Section 3.3 using a simple framework, suppose that aperfectly myopic, risk-neutral sovereign imperfectly controls a polity that creates output of size oneeach period. Denote by γ the amount of land controlled by the military regardless of the actionsof the sovereign (this can be interpreted as the percentage of the entire polity controlled by themilitary). Suppose that there are N perfectly myopic, risk-neutral members of the military (whereN is sufficiently large) and that γ is evenly distributed between the members of this class. Weconsider the parameter value γ exogenously given. A value of γ = 0 corresponds to a perfectlyabsolutist sovereign (who uses mamluks or mercenaries to staff his military) whereas higher valuesof γ denote more feudal arrangements. Note that our assumption of perfectly myopic agents allowsus to abstract from the potentially important issue of how the sovereign compensates the military(i.e., iqta’ rents versus land grants).1 In addition, we abstract from other important issues in orderto focus on the sovereign’s desire to prevent a successful revolt. We do so in order to highlight onemechanism that we believe contributes to the observed increase in ruler duration.
The order of play in the game is as follows: after observing γ the sovereign moves first anddecides whether to keep the entire amount of output he controls to himself or whether to divideit equally between himself and the military. Once the sovereign makes this decision, the militaryobserves both γ and the decision of the sovereign. After observing this information, the militarydecides whether to revolt or not. If the military revolts, the revolt will succeed with probabilityπ ∈ (0, 1), which is exogenously given. If a revolt is undertaken and succeeds, the sovereign getsnothing and the military get 1
N each. If it does not succeed the sovereign gets 1 and the military
gets nothing. If revolt is not undertaken the payoffs (sovereign, military) are ( 1−γN+1 ,
γN + 1−γ
N+1) ifthe sovereign shares, and (1− γ, γ
N ) if he does not.Let σS = {s} be the actions taken by the sovereign (share, not share). Similarly σM = {r(s)}
are the actions of the military (revolt, not revolt). We solve for the subgame perfect Nash equi-librium using backwards induction (we assume that if indifferent the military does not revolt).First, note that if the sovereign shares, the military will never revolt since π
N < γN + 1−γ
N+1 whenN is large. If the sovereign does not share, the military will revolt if and only if π > γ. We callthis point the “mamluk cutoff” since it implies that the probability of successful revolt is higherthan the proportion of land controlled by the military. With these conditions we state the following:
1It is possible that land grants were a way for the sovereign to commit to higher future payments.
Proposition: There is a unique subgame perfect equilibrium {σS , σM} is the game described abovein which:i. if the “mamluk cutoff” holds, the sovereign will not share and the military will revolt. The revoltwill succeed with probability π.ii. if the “mamluk cutoff” does not hold, then the sovereign will not share and the military will notrevolt.
The drop in the probability of a successful rebellion as we move from mamluk (i.e., absolutist)to feudal arrangements is driven by the military obtaining more land. As this group obtainsa higher endowment they have more to lose from an unsuccessful rebellion. Once the mamlukcutoff is reached, they find it optimal to retain what they have instead of trying to overthrow thesovereign. In this framework, the sovereign never finds it optimal to share because the military islarge. This suggests why a myopic sovereign would never voluntarily move from a mamluk to afeudal framework. In so doing, he would greatly reduce his income.2
2 Additional Results
Here we discuss additional empirical results referenced in the text.
2.1 Japanese Feudalism
To investigate the extent to which the emergence of feudalism led to an increase in ruler duration inJapan, we use data on ruler duration provided by Morby (1989, pp. 223-227)3 and again calculatethe Quandt Likelihod Ratio (QLR) statistic for the specification:
durationt = β0 + β1Dt(τ) + β2t+ β3tDt(τ) (1)
We use 15% trimming and find that the F-statistic testing the null-hypothesis that both β1 andβ3 are zero is maximized in the year 1142 CE. In this year, the F-statistic is 6.93 well above the5% cutoff of 5.86 but below the 1% cutoff of 7.78. In other words, the data identifies a break inruler duration in Japan in the year 1142 CE at the 5% significance level. As noted in the text thisdate approximately corresponds to the emergence of Japanese feudal institutions.
Appendix Figure 1 presents the results in graphical form. The upper graph shows mean rulerduration in each year (denoted with grey dots) and the fitted values of Equation (1) with the breakdate in the year 1142 CE. The lower graph plots the F-statistic within the central 70% of thesample. The vertical line denotes the estimated break date in 1142 CE. The data are consistentwith the hypothesis that Japanese feudalism led to a long-run increase in ruler durations.
2Here, we abstract from the important issue of the possibility of a non-monotonic relationship between rulerduration and constraint on the sovereign as we believe that this relationship is positive for the levels of executiveconstraint we observe in our sample. In the conclusion of the main text we discuss the relationship between rulerduration and constraint in highly institutionalized, democratic states where different patterns are observed.
3We restrict the sample to lie on the interval [300,1700). We omit rulers before 300 CE since before this date asuspiciously large number of rulers have durations of exactly 30 years. Ideally for comparability we would end oursample in the year 1500 CE. However, since Japanese feudal institutions are believed to have only emerged in thelate 12th century this would be equivalent to ending the European sample in the year 1100 CE, which is preciselythe period when the European ruler duration robustly begins to diverge from that of the rest of the sample. For thisreason, we extent the analysis to 1700 CE (limiting the data to earlier years results in qualitatively similar results,although with decreased statistical power.)
2.2 Regression Results for Probability of Ruler Being Deposed
Does divergence in ruler duration reflect a change in political stability? And what do we knowabout the method of exit for the monarchs examined? We explore these questions by constructinga dummy variable deposeditc equal to one if Morby (1989) identifies a ruler as having been deposed.Morby (1989) defines deposition as removal by conquest or overthrow. Although our baselinedataset relies on Bosworth (1996) for data on ruler duration in the Islamic world, Morby (1989)also reports information on duration and overthrow for a number of Muslim polities. We make useof that information here.
In Column (1) of Appendix Table 1, we present the results of Equation (1) of the main text usingthe dummy variable deposeditc in place of durationitc. The overall trend is consistent with resultsobserved with ruler duration. After around 1000 CE, rulers in Western Europe are significantlyless likely to be deposed than their Muslim counterparts.
2.3 Regression Results Related to State Size
One might be concerned that Islamic polities were larger than European polities and that there isa negative relationship between state size and ruler duration. In addition to including state size asa control in the main text, here we show that there is not a systematic relationship between statesize and ruler duration in our sample after 1000 CE. To do this, we use the entire Nussli sampleand estimate a regression of the form:
durationitc = θcdc +
1400∑c=700
αc ·Areai · dc + εitc (2)
where Areai is the area of the polity in which ruler i assumed power measured in 100,000 squaredkilometers. The estimates αc are presented in Column (2) of Appendix Table 1. These results showthat after 1000 CE one cannot reject the null hypothesis that there is no relationship between statesize and ruler duration.
3 Data Set Construction
The geographic covariates were constructed as follows: the area of the political entity at the start ofthe century, the proportion of an entity’s area that was part of the Roman Empire in 100 CE and thelatitude of the centroid of the political entity were constructed using ArcGIS and Nussli (2011). Theaverage agricultural suitability of a political entity was constructed using the raw data availableat http://www.sage.wisc.edu/iamdata, ranges between 0 and 1 and is described in detail inMichalopoulos (2012). The percentage of an entity’s area that belonged to the Carolingian Empirein 800 CE was also calculated using ArcGIS and shapefiles in Nussli (2011).
The parliament data in van Zanden et al. (2012) and Stasavage (2011) were matched to thesovereign states in Nussli (2011) and to the Bosworth/Morby data set. The exact mapping isprovided in Appendix Tables 2-4.
Appendix Tables 5-20 provide a comprehensive overview of the construction of the two datasets used in the empirical analysis. In Appendix Tables 5-12 we provide details regarding theconstruction of the Nussli data set whereas in Appendix Tables 13-20 we explain the constructionof the Bosworth-Morby data set.
Appendix Tables 5-12 provide all of the sovereign states denoted in Nussli’s (2011) shape filesfrom 700 through 1400 CE. The political entities for which we were able to find at least one ruler
duration for a ruler assuming power on the interval [t,t+100) are highlighted in bold. The numberof rulers who assumed power on the interval are given in the first entry in parentheses whereas theaverage duration of these rulers in years is given in the second entry.4
Appendix Tables 13-20 provide the dynasties in the Bosworth/Morby data set by one-hundredyear intervals. In compiling the data sets, we have included all dynasties in which at least one rulerassumed power prior to 1500 CE.5

4The sources for each identified ruler are provided in the Nussli dataset.5In the Bosworth data set we have omitted a few dynasties that were not Muslim. These are: the Dayubid
Ispahbadhs (Bosworth 1996, p. 162), the Bawandid Ispahbadhs before 839 CE (Bosworth 1996, p. 165), the Justanidsbefore 805 (Bosworth 1996, p. 145), the Il Khanids before 1295 (Bosworth 1996, p. 251), the Line of Batu’ids (TheKhans of the Golden Horde), the Line of Orda (The Khans of the Golden Horde) before 1313 CE (Bosworth 1996,p. 253) and the Mongol Great Khans (Bosworth 1996, p. 246). We have also omitted the Tahirids and Mus’abidswho were “not a separate dynasty” (Bosworth 1996, p. 169). We also exclude rulers of Genoa and Venice in both theNussli and Bosworth-Morby data sets. These leaders represented an atypical form of medieval rule since they werenot part of a dynastic chain, but rather elected to office. The unusual nature of this framework is demonstrated bythe average age of the election of the Doge of Venice. At 72, this is much higher (at times double) than the averageage of Europe’s princes (Finlay 1980, p. 125). It should be noted that although we have excluded these dynasties forconsistency their inclusion does not affect the qualitative implications of the results.
