Abstract
Attempts to model the political economy of the developing countries’ transition to high-income democracies proliferate, despite scepticism that the process is too complex and idiosyncratic to generalize (Haggard (1990: 3–4). Many economists (Barro 1996; 1999; Feng and Zak 1999) and political scientists (Lipset 1959; Jackman 1973; Burkhart and Lewis-Beck 1994) support a consensus view that per capita income is positively associated with political accountability — rising income ‘causes’ government to improve.
