| Title | Economist Kings - An experimental study of expert governments as a method of crisis management |
| Summary | In my thesis I examine expert governments as a method of crisis management. My main research question is whether people evaluate austerity programs more positively if they were introduced by experts than if they were introduced by democratic means. I also study the effect of the extent of the crisis and well-being on the assessment of austerity and expert governments. I examined these questions with a laboratory experiment, and I found that in general, the presence of expertise makes people more accepting towards austerity. |
