Abstract

In this note we show the existence of a diffusion process of military dictatorships in Sub-Saharan Africa from 1970 through 2007, using panel data probit estimation. We also find that Manufacturing share of GDP and Primary share of GDP positively affect the probability of military dictatorship, whereas Openness to trade and the UK colonial origin are negatively associated.
