Standard errors in parentheses, robust in cols (1),(3)--(4) * significant at 10%; ** significant at 5%; *** significant at 1%.
Estimation methods: FE: with country fixed effects. FEIV: fixed-effects instrumental-variable estimates.
GMM Arellano-Bond estimates (all variables in first differences).
Specification : always included: constant, lpop, prop65, ygap; in cols (1), (3)-(4) leg_length.
In col (1), instruments for lagged last_cgexp is one further lag of this variable.
In cols (3)-(4), type of government (coalition or single) is treated as endogenous with one lag of this variable plus maj, district, and threshold as instruments.
In cols (5)-(6), instruments for type of government is lagged type of government, plus maj, district, and threshold.
AR(2) Arellano-Bond test for absence of second order serial correlation.
Over-id: Test of over-identifying restrictions, distributed like Chi2 with degrees of freedoms in parenthesis;
critical values at 5% confidence: 7.81 cols (1), (5)-(6); 16.92 cols (3)-(4).
