%X this paper studies the relationship between political regimes duration and growth using data for 1950-2005. using econometric duration models to evaluate the so-called modernization hypothesis we find evidence supporting the idea that a democracy enjoys longer duration in richest and more educated countries. however, the duration of dictatorships does not seem to be affected by economic growth or the rise of educational attainment.
