Log income versus linear income: an application of the encompassing principle by Ermini, L, Hendry, D

“…This paper applies the principle fo encompassing to suggest specification and mis-specification tests of log versus linear individudal equations fitted to l(1) data, and illustrates tje analysis for US quarterly disposable income. The finite-sample properties of the encompassing tests are examined in a Monte Carlo experiment customized to the parameter values in the empirical analysis.…”

Income and democracy: Lipset's Law inverted by Hoeffler, A, Fayad, G, Bates, R

“…In this article, we revisit Lipset's law (Lipset 1959), which posits a positive and significant relationship between income and democracy. Using dynamic panel data estimation techniques that account for short-run cross-country heterogeneity in the relationship between income and democracy and that correct for potential cross-section error dependence, we overturn the literature's recent set of findings of the absence of any significant relationship between income and democracy and in a surprising manner: We find a significant and negative relationship between income and democracy: higher/lower incomes per capita hinder/trigger democratization. …”
