Abstract: Using Afrobarometer survey data from 18 Sub-Saharan African countries, as well as macro data on the history of economic and political regimes, we investigate the individual determinants of preferences for state intervention and support of democracy, and analyze whether they are in line with theoretical predictions. Moreover, we study how the time elapsed since the transition to democratic rule, as well as the degree of state intervention in the past, influence individual preferences for different types of political and economic systems.
