Consumer Tastes and Labor Markets in a Theory of Trade Policy Beliefs (2005, background): “…precisely, factor endowments, I hypothesize that aggregate support for free trade should vary with the distribution of factor ownership, particularly, the relative size of groups endowed with each country’s abundant factor (Alt and Gilligan 1994; Mayer 1984; Milner and Kubota 2005; Rogowski 1989).”
Democratization and Economic Globalization (2009, methodology): “However, research on the emergence of skill premiums in developing countries suggests that it may be an oversimplification to treat labor in developing countries as homogeneous and assume prima facie, as Milner & Kubota (2005) do, that workers as a group prefer trade openness.”

Would autocracies promote autocracy? A political economy perspective on regime-type export in regional neighbourhoods (2010, background): “Further, research has shown that cooperation among democracies with the aim to establish such common goods is higher than with or among other forms of government (Milner and Kubota 2005).”

Political Cleavages within Industry: Firm-level Lobbying for Trade Liberalization (2017, background): “In general, democratic countries are hypothesized to have more open trade policies than autocracies since their median voters, whose factor of production tends to reflect the country’s abundant factor, would gain from trade liberalization (e.g., Mansfield et al., 2002; Milner and Kubota, 2005).”
