| Περίληψη: | • The sequencing of democratization and liberalization matters for income. • Brazil's simultaneous democratization and liberalization raised income. • In El Salvador, income rose after liberalization followed democratization. • Mexico saw no income gains when liberalization came before democracy. • Democracy helps ensure liberalization delivers lasting income gains. We investigate whether the sequencing of democratization and economic liberalization affects a country's economic performance. We focus on Brazil, El Salvador, and Mexico as they cover all five possible sequences. Brazil experienced simultaneous democratization and economic liberalization in 1985. El Salvador democratized in 1982 but underwent economic liberalization in the 1990s. Mexico initiated economic liberalization in the late 1980s, followed by democratization in 1997. Using the synthetic control method, we find that economic liberalizations following democratization or simultaneous economic and political liberalization are the only reforms that significantly increase national income.
