Why Democracies Handle Economic Crises Better Than Autocracies (Theory)
The more veto players in a given political system, the more credibility that a government gains. If a policy has resulted from complex negotiations, then citizens can have more confidence that the government will actually stick to its economic policies, inducing citizens and markets to cooperate with the government. Furthermore, an executive with many checks on their power is inhibited in making rash economic decisions that may upend the market, whereas autocracies have no such constraints.
