Chapter 6 The model

Abstract

I developed eight hypotheses concerning the impact of political factors on economic growth. The hypotheses are valid for the NLS analysis as well as for the CNTS analysis.H1Interstate conflict has a negative effect on economic growth in developing countries.H2Intra-state conflict has a negative effect on economic growth in developing countries.H3The effect of total conflict on economic growth in developing countries is negative.H4The effect of political freedom on economic growth in developing countries is positive.H5Institutional freedom has a positive effect on economic growth in developing countries.H6A democratic political regime has a positive effect on economic growth in developing countries.H7A stable political regime has a positive effect on economic growth in developing countries.H8There is a positive relationship between a liberal ideological base and economic growth in developing countries.
