Great work! Suggestions: (1) natural experiments are rarely experiments; (2) FEs are often used to adjust for unobservables, instead of SOO; same with event studies (ES); (3) ES-FE-DID are closely related.

Under what conditions might mass democratic preferences shape election outcomes? In this insightful post, @RyanECarlin1, @laurabegc, and Miller argue that the election must pit a pro-democratic candidate against an anti-democratic candidates (+) wp.me/paDY6A-rf
