Abstract
This article uses cross-country data to examine the link between a country's type of political regime and its degree of openness and labor market distortion. The analysis indicates that more authoritarian regimes are associated with higher trade protection and greater labor market distortions. This supports the view that political authoritarianism may be counterproductive to development in important respects.
