Voting Behavior and Economic Crises Replication Data

This replication package contains 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 reproduce all tables and figures from the associated Journal of Economic History paper. The main script execution takes approximately 10 minutes on a 2024 Apple MacBook Pro with an M4 chip.

Use Cases

• Analyze the relationship between economic crisis indicators and extremist voting patterns using the provided replication code.
• Replicate econometric models from the published paper to validate findings on voting behavior and radicalism.
• Examine the temporal persistence of shifts in voting data following economic shocks as detailed in the study.

Strengths

• Directly supports replication of a peer-reviewed study published in the Journal of Economic History.
• Provides executable code in three common analysis environments: Python, Stata, and R.
• Includes code to generate all output tables and figures from the paper and its appendix.

Limitations

• The underlying dataset structure, including column names and row counts, is not described.
• The specific file formats and size of the data are unknown.
• The license terms for the data are unspecified.
