What the paper says

Utilizing a new annual dataset of structural reforms covering 90 countries from 1973 to 2014, we investigate the long-term effects of major reform shocks on growth. By applying the local projection method and addressing reform endogeneity with the Augmented Inverse Probability Weighted estimator, we find that reforms have a positive long-term effect on growth. Advanced economies reap the greatest benefits of reforms in the long term, while emerging market economies benefit in the short to medium term. Low-income countries enjoy only limited positive effects from reforms.
