  1. Great research. I hope that you will release the Stata code somewhere — it would make it very easy to build on your work by replicating and porting the analysis to other countries.

    1. Glad you like the paper. The Stata code is the easy part. It goes something like:

      probit incumbent_vote mean_growth percentile_growth incumbent_tenure incumbent_pid if resp_inc_low == 1, vce(cluster year)

      The time-consuming bit is collecting all the election surveys for a country, coding up the variables in a poolable/comparable way, and adding in the various income quintile data series so that you have values for those variables. The more elections that are added, the better, as it’s the election-N that is relevant for the inferences (rather than the actual N).

      Anyway, we’re still working on this project, so there should be plenty more to come…
