摘要：
Our article investigates the effect of taxation on democracy. We exploit exogenous variation in taxation driven by wars from the pre-modern era and document a positive and highly significant first-stage relationship between pre-modern war casualties and taxation. Using this instrumental variable strategy, we find that taxation has a positive effect on democracy.
