Exit, voice and political change : evidence from Swedish mass migration to the United States : a comment on Karadja and Prawitz (Journal of Political Economy, 2019)

Per Pettersson-Lidbom

In this comment, I revisit a question raised in Karadja and Prawitz (2019) concerning a causal relationship between mass emigration and long-run political outcomes. I find that their results are not robust to (i) selection of the appropriate control variables, (ii) using valid cluster-robust inference, (iii) using a more appropriate measure of emigration.
