Is there any relationship between political regimes and economic development? If so, why? Despite a lot of existing studies on political regimes and economic development, empirical evidences on whether a democracy or autocracy is better for economic development are mixed at best. More importantly, an underlying mechanism on regime and development is still less scrutinized. To bridge the gap, this study analyzes a relationship between political regimes and economic development on 176 countries from 1900 to 2016, using Varieties of Democracy dataset. Empirical analysis first displays a positive correlation between democratic regimes and economic development. This paper also discusses three mechanisms to explain this positive correlation between democratic regimes and economic development: securing property rights mechanism, democratic accountability mechanism, and freedom of press and expression mechanism. Empirical analysis supports the significant effects of democratic accountability mechanism only.
