Mike, The model looks fine, but I believe you will have hard time to publish it if the objective is to make a publishable paper. I believe most journals would require a panel data analysis I also suggest to make a literature survey. As a start you can take a look at the following paper: Barro, Robert. 1999. “Determinants of Democracy”. Journal Of Political Economy Vol 107 Issue 6. Part 2: Symposium on the Economic Analysis of Social Behavior in honor of Gary Becker. P158-183.
