Government size and growth: Accounting for economic freedom and globalization (2010, methodology): “Using Granger causality tests, both Heckelman (2000) and Dawson (2003) find that the level of economic freedom Granger 4 Skocpol (1990) described state capacity as the ability of states to achieve official goals, especially over the opposition of powerful social groups or in the face of difficult…”
Economic freedom, culture, and growth (2011, methodology): “This methodology is common in the economic freedom literature (for example, see Gwartney et al. 1999; Dawson 2003).”
Market oriented institutions and policies and economic growth: A critical survey (2006, neutral): “Dawson (1998) reports evidence in favour of both a direct productive efficiency and indirect investment effect. Likewise, Bengoa and Sanches-Robles (2003) report a positive impact of economic freedom on Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) in their panel of 18 Latin American countries.”
Does free trade really reduce growth? Further testing using the economic freedom index (2005, background): “For example, even if there is a partial correlation between area 4 of the EFI and growth, the causality is unclear (cf. Dawson, 2003).”
Foreign Aid and Market-Liberalizing Reform (2005, neutral): “3 While Dawson (2003) finds that this version of the Fraser index Granger-causes growth, he concludes that only two of the categories can be said to Granger-cause growth, one of the categories is jointly determined with growth, and another is Granger-caused by growth.”
Economic Freedom and Productivity Growth in Resource-rich Economies (2015, background): “The link between economic freedom and economic growth receives a great deal of attention in the growth literature (see Carlsson & Lundström, 2002; Dawson, 2003; De Haan & Sturm, 2000; Heckelman, 2000; Justesen, 2008).”
Panel evidence on economic freedom and growth in the United States (2011, background): “Using more advanced panel approaches, Dawson (2003) finds that the level of economic freedom, in general, Granger-causes economic growth while there is a bi-directional causal relationship between the change in economic freedom and economic growth.”
Institutions, Latent Entrepreneurship, and Self–Employment: An International Comparison (2012, background): “Many studies using the EFW index find a positive relationship between economic freedom and economic growth (Berggren, 2003; Dawson, 2007) and causal effects from freedom to growth (Dawson, 2003; Farr, Lord, & Wolfenbarger, 1998; Gwartney, Lawson, & Holcombe, 1999).”
The use (and abuse) of governance indicators in economics: a review (2008, background): “…have a time series component (data goes back in five-year intervals to 1970), and so causal inferences can potentially be made (see, for example, Dawson, 2003, and Farr et al, 1998).23 The Economic Freedom Index combines a number of categories purporting to measure different aspects of this…”
Institutional infrastructure and economic growth in member countries of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) (2015, background): “…is fundamental to achieving economic growth (see, inter alia, Acemoglu et al., 2001; Banerjee and Iyer, 2005; Carlsson and Lundstrom, 2002; Dawson, 1998, 2003; De Haan et al., 2006; Doucouliagos and Ulubasoglu, 2006; Fedderke, 2001; Gwartney et al., 2006; Hall and Ahmad, 2012; Hall and…”
