“…4 We also acknowledge that different measures of democracy have their respective strengths and weaknesses, and that the employment of a definition of democracy should be guided by normative and theoretical preferences, even when these measures correlate with each other (Cheibub et al, 2010). 5 Cepaluni, Dorsch and Kovarek (2021a) show that such restrictive policies are less likely in societies with higher levels of geographic mobility. 6 The stringency index is a composite measure that is a simple additive score of seven response indicators: school closures, workplace closures, cancelling public events, closing public transport, public information campaigns, restricting internal movement and international travel controls.…”

This article provides a quantitative examination of the link between political institutions and deaths during the first 100 days of the COVID-19 pandemic. We demonstrate that countries with more democratic political institutions experienced deaths on a larger per capita scale than less democratic countries. The result is robust to the inclusion of many relevant controls, a battery of estimation techniques and estimation with instrumental variables for the institutional measures. Additionally, we examine the extent to which COVID-19 deaths were impacted heterogeneously by policy responses across types of political institutions. Policy responses in democracies were less effective in reducing deaths in the early stages of the crisis. The results imply that democratic political institutions may have a disadvantage in responding quickly to pandemics.

“…Hence, regions do have a lot of common ground in the fight against coronavirus with the time lag. There have been several attempts to include regional codification in quantitative models; however, those were mostly control variables 6 or extremely large 7 , which do not shed light on the explanatory side of things.…”

Similar yet so different: The analysis of factors explaining the variance in COVID-19 deaths across the Baltic and Nordic states

Malgré le fait que la communauté mondiale vit avec la maladie COVID-19 depuis plus de deux ans, les États baltes et nordiques à la pointe de la technologie sont négligés, tant au sens théorique qu’empirique. De plus, ces régions voisines présentent une variation significative du nombre total de décès causés par le coronavirus. Une valeur plus élevée d’un nombre total de décès dans les États baltes s’explique par le nombre plus élevé de cas de COVID-19, une valeur relativement plus faible du PIB par habitant, une proportion plus élevée de citoyens âgés et ce qui pourrait être le facteur le plus important - la confiance inférieur des citoyens dans le gouvernement national. La conclusion générale est que l’efficacité des politiques de lutte contre les coronavirus est minée par l’absence de confiance dans le processus décisionnel du gouvernement.
