• Trade-based Diffusion of Labor Rights: A Panel Study, 1986–2002 (2009, background): “Developing countries with better human rights practices attract more global production activity, and countries with more global production activity are more likely to experience longerterm improvements in human rights (Blanton and Blanton 2007).”
