Determinantes da democracia: Novos olhares sobre um velho debate

Adalberto de Lima and Carlos Goncalves

Revista Brasileira de Economia - RBE, 2011, vol. 65, issue 4

Abstract: This paper studies the relationship between political regimes duration and growth using data for 1950-2005. Using econometric duration models to evaluate the so-called Modernization Hypothesis we find evidence supporting the idea that a democracy enjoys longer duration in richest and more educated countries. However, the duration of dictatorships does not seem to be affected by economic growth or the rise of educational attainment.
