Assistant Professor Hanno Hilbig and coauthors published an article this June in the journal Comparative Political Studies (CPS) on authoritarian responsiveness using innovative data on housing petitions and construction in the German Democratic Republic. Their findings indicate that the GDR was responsive to citizen petitions for housing, targeting housing construction on regions with more petitions. Their results suggest that even highly autocratic regimes can be responsive to citizen demands under some circumstances.
