The effect of assassinations on political institutions: Are the Jones--Olken findings robust?
Jones and Olken (JO; 2009) report that the outcome of an assassination attempt -- whether it is successful or not -- matters for political institutions. We question how these institutions are classified. Revisiting their methodology shows that their findings are generally robust to reasonable differences in classification, thereby strengthening their conclusions that leadership and luck matter for political outcomes.
