(3) Frankel, Stein and Wei (1997). (4) Schiff and Winters (2003). (5) Foreign Trade Information System: Notes: Trade agreements followed by a * are partial-scope agreements (PTAs) and all others are free trade agreements (FTAs), as classified according to the rules explained in the main text, which are based on whether an agreement was notified to the GATT/WTO and, if so, whether it was notified under the Enabling Clause or under Article XXIV. Accession agreements to existing agreements are not displayed separately. Service agreements are not counted separately. An agreement that has entered into force before July 1 of a year is considered as effective in that year, and considered effective in the following year otherwise.

WTO_from1990=1 from the year a country joined the GATT/WTO as a formal member, provided that this happened after 1990, and zero otherwise. IO_num measures the number of international organizations a country belongs to in a given year during based on IGO database v2.3 (only full membership is considered). For years before 1965, data are available only at 5-year intervals. We assume that IOnum within two years before or after 1950 is the same as the IOnum in The same rule applied to years around 1955, 1960 and before We assign zeros to countries with missing IOnum data. Former military leader is unity if a country s chief executive is a former military leader and zero otherwise, based on data from Gandhi and Przeworski (2006).
