REGIME-TYPE DATA• Obtained from Adam Przeworski, Michael E. Alvarez, José Antonio
Cheibub, Fernando Limongi, used in Democracy and Development: Political Institutions and Well-Being in the World, 1950-1990
• Regime-Type is measured by Contestation in Democratic Elections:
• Ex-ante Uncertainty: Probability that one member of incumbent party will lose election
• Ex-post Irreversibility: Assurance that winner will assume office
• Repeatability: Continued elections must occur; winner must not make future elections impossible
