Abstract

We organized two evaluations of the paper: "Misperceptions and Demand for Democracy under Authoritarianism"[1]. This research involved ambitious field (and online) experiments into the impact of providing information on "the status and implications of democracy and media freedom on actual beliefs and voting patterns in Trkiye", yielding encouraging, actionable results. Both evaluations are strongly positive about the research contribution and overall rigor. Both offer substantive suggestions (as does the evaluation manager Bob Kubinec, below).
