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?

Wow, they measured the statistical correlation between their rating of democracy and GDP per capita? That's some ground breaking work. Now, just explain why anyone should care about GDP per capita "It's what we can measure" Goodhart's law is useful at least.pic.twitter.com/XkCrO10beL

This is what you're bringing to answer this question? "Self-reported life satisfaction" - line go up, other line go up - science. You know what else raises "self-reported life satisfaction" - a nice fat line of cocaine before taking the survey. Think maybe that shows a flaw?

The question is philosophical and isn't answerable by pointing out the correlation between gameable measures.
