All my life I have studied democratization and autocratization. My 1st field trip was to newly democratic Argentina. I then added autocracies to my portfolio: Cuba, Ven, etc. I think I can recognize the stages of transition to authoritarianism. Here are the boxes checked off.

@voxeu @guidodeblasio and I analyzed the most credible evidence on Italian place-based policies: very little evidence on their effectiveness in promoting growth. Main obstacles: low-quality institutions and organized crime. In a companion column we will look at side effects. Stay tuned!
