Spatial Concentration of Military Dictatorships in Sub-Saharan Africa (1977-2007)

Caruso, Raul; Petrarca, Ilaria; Ricciuti, Roberto - CESifo - 2014

We empirically investigate the existence of spatial autocorrelation between military dictatorships in Sub-Saharan Africa from 1977 through 2007. We apply a Bayesian SAR probit regression, extended to a pooled model. We find a robust and positive spatial autocorrelation coefficient, which shows a...
