Abstract

We expand on the economic research about regime types, culture, institutions, and economic freedom, with the development of a unique measure of regime memory and examine the generational effect of past regimes on a country's level of economic freedom. Using a panel of 144 countries between 1970 and 2015 we follow the literature and argue that institutions can be fast and slow-moving. We find evidence that regime memory promotes improvements in (discourages) economic freedom for countries that are historically democratic (autocratic).

政治制度、政权记忆和经济自由

我们拓展了有关政权类型、文化、制度和经济自由的经济研究，制定了独特的政权记忆衡量标准，并考察了过去的政权对一国经济自由水平的代际影响。利用 1970 年至 2015 年间 144 个国家的面板数据，我们沿用了文献的观点，认为制度的发展有快有慢。我们发现有证据表明，对于历史上民主（专制）的国家，政权记忆会促进（阻碍）经济自由的改善。
