What the paper says

We used a pooled cross-sectional time-series model with generalized least squares random-effects estimator to show that social media have a positive effect on political instability. The effect of social media on political instability is stronger and statistically significant for developing countries compared to developed countries where this effect is weak and statistically non-significant.
