“…Finally, once again the import-competing sectors display 17 These additional results are available from the authors upon request. 18 Running regressions excluding the few countries with less than 20 years observations, as in Persson and Tabellini (2003) and Papaioannou and Siourounis (2008), or using System Generalized Method of Moment estimator, the results are even stronger. These additional results are available from the authors upon request.…”

“…A few countries experienced reversal episodes during political reforms: countries that start as autocracy and then, after a democratization episode, return back to dictatorships. As brief democratization episodes may have different effects than permanent reforms, we run separate regression models using all reform episodes and only permanent reforms, as in Giavazzi and Tabellini (2005) and Papaioannou and Siourounis, (2008).…”

Terms of use: Documents in AbstractWe investigate the effect of electoral rules and forms of government on public policy outcomes using a new dataset on agriculture and food policies from 74 countries over the 1960-2005 period. Using both cross-sectional and panel data analyses we find robust evidence that the specific nature of democratic institutions has important consequences for public policy. Proportional democracies and presidential democracies -compared to majoritarian and parliamentary democracies -give more public support to agriculture and less to food consumers. The magnitude of these constitutional effects are stronger for import-competitive sectors and staple food crops. The effects seem independent from the ideology orientation of governments.

“…To check the robustness of the results, we nonetheless also replicate the analysis using alternative coding of political regimes. In particular, as discussed in further detail below, we consider information on free and contested elections from Golder (2005) and the refined coding by Papaioannou and Siourounis (2008) …”

“…Along the same line of "democratic capital" and dealing with a number of issues ranging from measuring democracy to modelling the dynamics of GDP in the years before democratization, Acemoglu et al [2014] find a significant and positive effect of democratization on GDP (about 20% in three decades, implying that the rise of democracy in the last 50 years has yielded about 6% higher world GDP). Papaioannou and Siourounis [2008] consider democratization processes for about 65 countries over the period 1960-2000. They employ an event study approach and analyze growth before and after democratizations.…”

ARTICLES Why did the knowledge transition occur in the West and not in the East Economics and Business ReviewEconomics and Business Review, Vol. 1 (15), No. 1, 2015: 69-88 DOI 10.18559/ebr.2015 Synthetic 'real socialism': a counterfactual analysis of political and economic liberalizations 1 Ilaria Petrarca, 2 Roberto Ricciuti 2 Abstract : We evaluate the effect of the 1989 shock over economic development in four Eastern European countries. We apply a counterfactual approach and define the shock alternatively as the trigger for economic openness, political competition, or both. The main result is an effect of economic freedom larger than the one of democratization. In Poland and Bulgaria we find a positive impact of economic freedom, whilst in Bulgaria there is also a smaller effect of democratization. In Albania, after an initial recession, economic freedom helps recovery. Finally Romania does not show any robust effect.
