中文摘要Democracy has scale and selection effects on trade. Importer’s democratization could change various trade barriers and hence affect trade flow (scale effect). Simultaneously, a democratic country would become a favorable exporter due to mutual ideological recognition and other concerns (selection effect). Thus, the net effect of democratization on trade remains an empirical issue. In this paper, we present a theoretical gravity model with democracy. Using a rich panel dataset while clearly controlling for the endogeneity of democracy, we find robust empirical evidence that democracy significantly fosters trade. Overall, democratization accounts for around 3% trade growth via scale effect and 8% via selection effect, ceteris paribus.
