Abstract

The paper investigates the impact of historical legacies of the Habsburg and Ottoman Empires on demand for litigation in contemporary Romania in criminal cases. It finds that nowadays a key difference between these two historical zones is that in the Habsburg counties demand for litigation increases if the income goes up; in the Ottoman counties, however, the demand remains constant. Furthermore, the demand for litigation in poor counties is smaller in Habsburg than in Ottoman counties. We provide several explanations to this phenomenon and compare it to the anecdotal evidence of culture of judicial appeals in other countries.

The concepts of “institutions” and “culture” have overlapping and multiple meaning in social sciences. In this paper we define institutions, in line with North (1990), as rules constraining human behavior, both formal and informal. The notion of ‘culture’ is more debatable (Herrmann-Pillath 2010); we will use it to refer to particularly slow-moving (Williamson 2000; Roland 2004) and deeply rooted informal institutions, associated with collectively shared identities and mental models. Historical legacies are often associated with cultural effects, but they may also reflect themselves in formal institutions (e.g. survival of certain legal norms or concepts).

For US courts of appeal see Songer and Sheehan 1992. More specifically, the literature argues that the effect is driven by relative litigation resources. However, the criminal cases in all parts of Romania involve dealing with the same centralized government, which has the same resources.
 
3
Our argument holds for the demand for appeals by defendant in criminal proceedings. Eisenberg et al. (2012) remark that the effect of income on criminal litigation may be more complex, since income may also affect the number of crimes committed.
 
4
Throughout the text Transylvania is defined broadly, including Banat and parts of Bukovina, unless not explicitly stated otherwise.
 
5
The period of rule of Habsburg Emperors in the 18th and 19th centuries was even longer, with only nine rulers in 1705–1916.
 
6
The Divan was the Highest Court in the Ottoman principalities. It was composed of boyars, the Metropolitan bishop and the prince as its head.
 
7
The possibility to appeal lower court verdicts was introduced with the rule of Constantin Mavrocordat who adopted in 1740 a Constitution creating the first instance judges (ispravnics) and second instance judges (the judgments of the high boyars) (Mercure de France 1742:1512). The courts of high boyars (appeal courts) were also replicated by successive Moldavian and Wallachian rulers (e.g. Racoviţă, Ghica and Ipsilanti, see e.g. the description of Alexandru Ipsilanti judicial organization in Dariescu 2008).

More specifically, we take the number of cases per position of the prosecutors at the tribunal level, i.e. number of prosecutors normatively assigned to the tribunal (some of these positions may be empty, as discussed in what follows). Thus, we are able to account for the size of the counties and the differences in judicial capacity to find out the actual demand for the appellate jurisprudence. As a caveat, we have to acknowledge that some of the cases processed by prosecutors may not be an outcome of the appeals but rather transferred for criminal investigation from lower-level prosecution offices to higher-level offices. However, for 2012 we have obtained data on both criminal cases considered by judges in tribunals and number of cases processed by prosecutors at the level of tribunals. One can show that both variables are highly correlated (correlation coefficient of 86 %), and, as discussed below, cases arriving at the level of tribunals are mostly an outcome of appeal by accused. Thus, we can rely on our data for the purposes of research question of this study.
 
9
Even the intra-country studies of legacies face two difficulties: first, which historical border exactly has to be used (border between Habsburg and Ottoman zones shifted over time), and second, how to deal with counties divided between Ottoman and Habsburg (since we do not have macroeconomic data for units smaller than county, we also cannot use them in our analysis). Until mid-nineteenth century the territories of Moldavia and Walachia (what we consider the “Ottoman legacy” zone) have partly fallen under Habsburg or Russian occupation for brief periods of time; however, no permanent long-lasting presence was established and therefore the impact of the Habsburg legacies ought to be much weaker than in Transylvania or even Bukovina (which was occupied in 1774). As for the borders of counties, we have attributed the counties, which have mostly belonged to Bukovina or Transylvania in terms of territory to the Habsburg zone.
 
10
We use two modifications of this variable: total number of criminal cases and average number of criminal cases per position of the prosecutor.
 
11
Details on the sources and definitions of variables are available at request.
 
12
The efficiency of courts is available only for all cases, and not merely for criminal cases.
 
13
The results remain mostly unchanged if we control for the number of cases in trial courts instead of crime rates. We do not report robustness checks due to the space constraints; they are, however, available at request from the authors.

Clearly, it is partly an outcome of very poor performances of the domestic judicial system (see ECHR 2009). However, it is also the case that the implementation of the ECHR decisions is in many cases questionable and excessively delayed (especially in the non-democratic Russia), so, the instrumental logic of appeals to the ECHR may be contested.
 
28
This result speaks to a number of recent papers looking at the legacies of Jewish settlements in Eastern Europe; while in this case there is also no continuity in terms of population, Grosfeld et al. (2013) show that there is a persistent effect of legacies (though driven by a very different mechanism than that discussed in this paper).
