Had such a blast working with @vlad_surdea on this paper which asks when do historical legacies cease to persist, which has found its home at @JPIPE_journal. Check it out 👇🏻
The persistence literature treats historical legacies as something close to a stylized fact. My new paper with amazing @ItsLetitiaRoman challenges this view, theorising conditions under which legacies break and testing our framework on Ottoman corruption in Romanian healthcare.

🚨 Why do people protest against authoritarian regimes even when facing extreme danger? 🚨 In our new paper on Romania's 1989 Revolution, we find that communities exposed to the communist Gulag showed 5x higher dissent levels. doi.org/10.1177/001041402513… 1/🧵

Replying to @vlad_surdea
The consequences of mass repression remain ambiguous, with strong evidence for both inhibitory and mobilising effects on future dissent, depending on the political opportunity structure. However, there is virtual consensus that high-threat environments constrain dissent.
