Abstract:
My research question is why hasn’t there been a coups d’état in the United States of America, USA? By analyzing a large dataset of 122 countries and over 2000 coups attempts, I try to understand analytically what can cause a coups d’état to occur in the USA. I combine the semiparametric and extreme bounds data analysis techniques to effectively make a conclusion that democracy and GDP/capita play a big role in success or fail of a coups d'état and how this plays out for my research.
