Abstract
This study is an empirical examination of the effects of various economic, social-demographic, and political variables on the probability of political instability. The dataset consists of 126 observations on 63 nations in the years 1996 and 2006. The method of estimation is Probit. There are two empirical equations. These equations are different based on the nature of their economic variables. The first equation controls for the effects of the level of a nation's economic, while the second equation controls for the effects of a nation's economic variables relative to the region's average. The estimation results suggest that the model that controls for the relative economic variables can predict the probability of political instability better.
