Seminar
SoSe 22: Quantitative Methods in Autocracy Research
Alexander Libman
Comments
The class aims to combine a brief introduction into the quantitative research in modern social sciences with the discussion of specific problems quantitative political science faces while studying authoritarian regimes. It builds upon the previous knowledge of quantitative methods (especially regression analysis) and focuses on the topics of causal identification. In the first part of the class, we introduce the main elements of the "experimentalist" approach in social sciences, its advantages and disadvantages. In the second part, we discuss the problems of data availability in authoritarian regimes (as well as how they can be turned into advantages for researchers), electoral forensics, as well as possibilities for combinding quantitative and qualitative research in autocracies. The class will be accompanied by the discussion of pracitcal examples of studying authoritarian regimes using quantitative methods. close
