В данном исследовании, замечу, есть такая часть, что довольно аккуратно авторы относятся к этим данным (берут из трех источников, один из которых Freedom House, причем сразу указывают на его критику. Есть также мое мнение, что most utilized data in the profession относится все-же к специалистам США, насколько я вижу университеты): There are many sources that provide ratings on the level of democratization in various countries. As expected, none of the measures of democracy is perfect. For example, Poe and Tate (1994) argue that the Freedom House data on civil and political liberties, which are one of the most utilized data in the profession, are biased in favor of Christian nations and Western democracies. Casper and Tufis (2003) also caution that different measures of democracy, even when highly correlated, may not be interchangeable because they may produce different results. Therefore in order to increase the credibility of our results, we employ three different measures of democracy from three different sources for our benchmark regressions. В общем, чтобы не тратить ваше время, скажу, что я как обыватель, все-же отнесусь к ним с сомнением).
