Lui and Hsiao Study Exit-Voice Dynamics in Hong Kong
Posted: 4/3/2024 (CSDE Research)
CSDE Affiliates Lake Lui (Sociology, National Taiwan University) and Yuan Hsiao (Communication, UW) released a new article in International Migration Review, titled “Exit-Voice Dynamics: How do Hong Kong People Respond to Democratic Backsliding?“. Does people’s greater intention to migrate deter them from participating in protests? How does protest participation shape intention to migrate? How does the relationship between migration intention and protest change amidst Hong Kong’s transition to authoritarianism? Drawing upon Hirschman’s exit-voice theory, this study examines the relationship between protest and migration intentions against the changing context across time. Authors use a time-series dataset on Hong Kong’s anti-extradition movement of late 2019 for our analysis.
