摘要：

We examine whether trade openness influences government size. Using panel data, we find no evidence of a positive relationship. Rather. causality tests show that larger government size leads to lower openness, the opposite of what Rodrik [Rodrik, Dani, 1998, Why do more open economics have bigger governments? Journal of Political Economy 106, 997-1032.] hypothesized. (C) 2008 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
