      abstract = {This paper investigates whether political competition  plays an important role in determining the level of  agricultural protection. In order to do so, we exploit  variation in political and economic data from 74 developing  and developed countries for the post-war period. Our  results robustly show that the level of agricultural  distortions is the higher, the higher is the level of  political competition. We show that political competition  may importantly complement other institutional aspects in  determining policy choices. We investigate the  heterogeneous effects of political competition across  different electoral rules (majoritarian vs. proportional),  forms of government (coalition vs. single-party) and level  of incomes.},
