Robust standard errors in parentheses; * significant at 10%; ** significant at 5%; *** significant at 1%
Controls included in all OLS specification, cols (1)-(5): lpop, col_uka
Second-stage variables in 2SLS regressions, cols (6)-(8): lpop, col_uka, investiture, constructive
First-stage variables in the 2SLS specifications: maj, semi, district, threshold, and all second-stage variables
Over-id is Hansen’s J statistic for test of the over-identifying restriction implied by the electoral rule variables having no direct effect on the type of government;
critical values at 5% significance are 7.81 in all columns
