I hate when I have to get back to the economics and ethics factory to crank out another fifty utils and have no time to respond to the simplest questions in my professional domain

It’s not like there’s not ways to model this “regime change” using economics. It’d be easy to create a stochastic median voter game with 50 elections and then ask if the median voter has better policy outcomes after we reweight each state election.

Once you're considering "better" policy outcomes then why restrict your method of achieving them to different forms of elections. If I show that some alternative produces better governance (by your criteria) than electing leaders then surely you would endorse that system, right?

Political scientists and economists don’t take democracy as given. Both fields are very interested in how different governance regimes affect outcomes.https://www.journals.uchicago.edu/doi/abs/10.1086/700936?mobileUi=0& …

I didn’t post the paper to show that democracy causes growth, but to show that researchers are willing to ask if democratic institutions themselves lead to good outcomes.

No, you showed they're willing to ask if democratic institutions lead to increased GDP (using statistical means when you don't have independent trials) Why is GDP per capita a good measure? Why doesn't Goodhart's Law apply to a measure that has been a target for generations?
