Cracking the Nest Egg: Comparing Pension Politics in Post-Communist Russia and Hungary – ERRATUM

Abstract

*Regime type is based on the current Freedom House ranking (Freedom House, 2021). Freedom House rankings are calculated on a weighted scale based on a country’s civil liberties and political rights which are numerically coded and then used to group countries into free, partly free, and not free. The Freedom House scores are highly correlated with another standard measure of democracy, the Polity score, which ranges from -10 to 10 with 10 being the most democratic (Marshall et al., 2019). On Polity, Hungary received a “10” through 2018. Russia received a “3” from 1993-1999, a “6” from 2000-2006, and a “4” from 2007-2018.
