Each of the four blocks of results correspond to the system (1) estimated by three-stage least squares as in Tables 1, 2 and 3 for: the KOF composite index (repeated top left for convenience), Economic Globalization (top right), Social Globalization (bottom left) and Political Globalization (bottom right). Other regressors’ coefficient estimates are available upon request. Time and countries dummies are included but not presented for reasons of parsimony. Heteroskedastic-consistent standard errors are in parentheses. ***, ** and * denote significant coefficients, respectively at the 1, 5 and 10% confidence levels
