SUMMARY:Lunch Seminar: Nicola Fontana - Trinity College Dublin
DESCRIPTION;ENCODING=QUOTED-PRINTABLE:\n\nWhen the Dictator is in Town\n\n\nAbstract:\nDo dictators need aligned 
 bureaucrats? We examine the impact of exposure to the autocratic leader on 
 one key tool at dictatorships’ disposal to maintain power: repression. Focu
 sing on Italy’s Fascist dictatorship (1926-1939), the paper utilizes newly 
 gathered data on visits by Mussolini. Using the temporal and geographical v
 ariation of these visits in a staggered difference-in-differences framework
 , we show that a visit by Mussolini significantly increased repression. The
  results suggest a top-down mechanism, driven by increased policing and all
 ocation of bureaucrats aligned with the regime’s goals.\n
