MODEL 21: does the connected world push governments toward CAPABLE,
ECONOMICALLY EFFECTIVE government?  DV = WGI Government Effectiveness
N=2214, 169 countries, 1996-2012
corr(gov_effectiveness, trade openness)=0.302 ; corr(ge, log GDPpc)=0.751

[A] ge ~ trade + log GDPpc, year FE, cluster by country (across countries)
   trade      b=0.0010  p=0.146
   log_gdppc  b=0.6288  p=7.15e-38

[B] TWO-WAY FE (country+year): within a country, does rising openness track rising effectiveness?
   trade      b=0.0001  p=0.76
   log_gdppc  b=0.5026  p=1.23e-08
