The last column of Table 6.5 shows that an increase in economic growth, measured by growth in gross domestic product (GDP) per capita, has a positive effect on the probability of democratic stability. As economic growth increases from 0 to 5 percent, the probability of democratic stability increases from 0.52 to 0.77, indicating that increasing economic growth increases the chances of democratic survival.
