The medium‐run effects of a foreign election intervention: Haiti's presidential elections, 2010–2015.
The US and other foreign actors often intervene in elections in countries transitioning to democracy. I examine the effects of such interventions on voter behavior.

The relationship is robust to many sensitivity tests that account for possible confounding effects from fraud. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: N holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
