Black Swans,
Conspiracy Theories, and the Quixotic Search for Fraud
A Look at Hausmann and Rigobon's Analysis of Venezuela's Referendum Vote
September 2004, Mark Weisbrot, David Rosnick, and Todd Tucker
In this paper, CEPR responds to Hausmann and Rigobon’s study claiming electronic fraud in
Venezuela's August 15, 2004 recall referendum. It shows that they provide no
evidence of fraud — a conclusion subsequently
confirmed by an independent panel of statisticians selected by the Carter
Center. (BP2004009B)
