Voting Behavior and Economic Crises Replication Data

This replication package provides the data and code for a study on the persistence of increases in extremist voting following economic crises. It includes Python, Stata, and R code to generate all tables and figures from the associated paper in the Journal of Economic History. The main execution file takes approximately 10 minutes to run on a specified 2024 MacBook Pro.

Use Cases

• Replicate the analysis of extremist voting persistence using the provided Python, Stata, and R code.
• Generate the specific tables and figures from the published paper using the code in the output/ folder.
• Study the relationship between economic crises and voting behavior as defined by the paper's methodology.

Strengths

• Code is provided in three common analytical languages: Python, Stata, and R.
• Execution time for the main analysis is benchmarked at approximately 10 minutes on a 2024 Apple MacBook Pro with an M4 chip.
• The package is designed to fully replicate all outputs from a peer-reviewed paper in the Journal of Economic History.

Limitations

• The underlying dataset's structure, including row count, column names, and file formats, is not described.
• The data's temporal and geographic coverage is unspecified.
• The license for data use is unknown.
