摘要
This brief note revisits the empirical relation between economic inequality and instances of democratization. We argue that economic inequality-may be an explanatory factor only following macroeconomic downturns. Our point generalizes - empirical peace scientists examining the likelihood of major political events should consider the possibility that explanatory structural factors may have heterogeneous impacts across macroeconomic cycles.
