🧵1/ 🚨Job Market Paper Thread🚨 A concerning global trend: the erosion of democratic values and the rise of autocratization. My JMP (w/ @SerkantAdiguzel & @KoyncuMurat) dives into how these shifts affect local governance and economic efficiency. A thread👇

@gr0ssmann I see. I think oTree would be way more convenient to have a back button, at least for beta-testing of experiments at the development stage. But this is just my subjective opinion.
