摘要

Can high levels of state capacity be associated with greater resilience to slow growth and deepening output collapses? Using data for 108 developing countries over 1971–2016, we classify five-year periods using a two-dimensional state space based on growth regimes and levels of state capacity. We model transitions between them using a finite state Markov chain and then extend this to take political institutions into account. We find that higher state capacity is associated with more persistent growth regimes and a lower likelihood that output collapses deepen. However, these associations are sometimes weaker than those linked to democracy.
