Estimation method: Arellano-Bond GMM estimates (all variables in first differences).
Specification: always included, constant, lpop; polity_gt , and lagged Dep. var., once in col (1), twice in cols (2)—(5)).
In cols (1)-(5), instruments for lagged Dep. Var. is one additional lag of this variable.
In cols (4)-(5), party_frag is treated as endogenous with additional instruments: one lag of party_frag, maj, district, .and threshold..
AR(2) Arellano-Bond test for absence of second-order serial correlation.
Over-id: Sargan test of over-identifying restrictions, distributed as Chi2 with degrees of freedoms in parenthesis;
critical values at 5% confidence: 7.81 col (1), 3.84 cols (2)-(3), 12.59 cols (4)-(5).
