And an @oaklandu undergraduate and I just had a paper accepted where we build on this data and code additional methods of evasion, and show that economic performance drives evasion attempts
In light of Trump making the 3rd term comments, I thought it would be interesting to revisit the broader data on term limit evasion attempts. In 2020, Mila Versteeg (UVA Law) and I worked with law students to collect data on strategies incumbents use to circumvent term limits /1
One finding is that when economic performance is strong, evasion attempts (and especially public facing methods like referenda) are more likely. So if the domestic economy goes south, at least the most obvious methods become less likely (silver linings and all that)
Good day to share this little paper I wrote as a grad student

@daniel_mcdowell The first CD I ever purchased and still makes frequent appearances on those end of year Spotify personalized lists. Just taught my 12yr old the opening riff to Holiday last week!
My only contribution to the hand wringing about elite institution folks frequently contributing to the toxic anonymous field rumor sites is to simply ask, “have you seriously never met anyone from elite institutions?”
