The goal of ead is to estimate episodes of regime change using v-DEM data.
You can install the development version of ead like so:
remotes::install_github("arturhgq/ead")ead is a Portuguese acronym for episodes of autocratisation and
democratisation. Within this package, the typology function codify six
different types of regime change: autocracy deepening, democratic
backsliding, democratic breakdown, liberalization, democratic transition
and democratic deepening. The tipology is heavily based on Lührmann et
al. (2018) and Maerz et al. (2021) research and is fully described in my
master’s thesis.
If you are interested in estimating episodes of regime change yourself, using customs parameters, see the vignette “How to use ead?”.
I thank the Political Science department at UFMG for the encouragement and support and FAPEMIG for funding my research.
