Answer the following statement(s) true (T) or false (F)

1. The key factor that distinguishes between the different types of dictatorship is demographic makeup of the selectorate.
2. Loyalty toward the incumbent leader declines as the winning coalition grows relative to the selectorate (i.e., as W/S gets larger).
3. One way to describe the relationship between corruption and kleptocracy is to say that kleptocracy is corruption on a large scale--for example, when corruption is actually organized by a country’s political leaders with the goal of their personal enrichment.
4. Once we apply the selectorate theory to our usual typology of regime types (democracies as well as various types of dictatorships), it provides us with a potential story both for why democracies produce a relatively high level of material well-being and for why some dictatorships perform better than others.
