What are the roles of political and economic institutions while studying the affect of human development on economic growth?
Political and economic institutions have a great role in spreading education, health, removal of poverty, etc which are all very useful in improving human development indicators.
Economy and polity are very significant but not fully explanatory drivers of human development; environment, society, and technology must be considered too. Importantly, all five drivers co-evolve in adaptive systems.
You need to define / explain what you mean by institutions. Is it as North would see as the "rule of the game" or do you mean organizations? If you mean it in the first sense then equity, fairness are important values that could help to enhance development.
