Scholars rank problems in economic performance among the most important reasons for the collapse of autocratic regimes. This study forms no exception and explores the effect of economic misfortune on autocratic regime failure using a sample of 160 authoritarian regimes between 1981 and 2008. Moreover, this article introduces repression and co-optation as political variables which have the potential to mediate the adverse effects of economic misfortune. While the former shields authoritarian rule from vertical threats such as mass demonstrations, the latter addresses horizontal threats in the form of elite splits. As follows from the analysis, restrictions on political liberties (soft repression) serve autocrats better than infringements on personal integrity (hard repression) or co-optation. Furthermore, in contrast to other analyses, there is no evidence that co-optation in the form of quasi-democratic institutions prevents regime failure.
