“Whether authoritarian rule helped East Asian developmental states grow is disputed: Japan's developmental state was democratic, Przeworski and Limongi (1993) found no clear effect of regime type on growth in statistical studies, and Acemoglu and colleagues (2019) estimate that democratisation raises GDP per capita in the long run.”
Context. Hypothesis, not finding: the case evidence is confounded by the Cold War, land reform, education and export markets.
