Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Review Method: Peer Reviewed Abstract: Russian regional executive elections have long been characterized by scandals, corruption and incumbents' apparent ability to control election outcomes. Of late, economists working within the "market preserving federalism" theoretical framework have gone so far as to suggest that the elimination of democratic elections might spark economic growth and reform at the regional level. This study questions this assertion by presenting a systematic examination of the two post-Soviet regional election cycles with an emphasis on the role of economic performance in determining incumbent success. The results indicate that the 2000-2001 election cycle exhibited marked changes over the 1996-1997 round. With the elimination of the presidential referendum effect initially wrought by the predominance of presidential appointees in the first election cycle, the latter round witnessed the emergence of regional standard of living measures as important determinants of incumbent success. These findings question the extent to which regional executives have successfully shielded themselves from popular discontent over regional economic conditions.
