Cambridge University Press would like to apologise for an error introduced during the production of the article.

In the fifth paragraph (Krishna, Reference Krishna2021), the section ‘Carbone and Pellegata clearly limit the scope of the dataset by assuming a leader to be the holder of a country's top decision-making position. Their assumptions do not account for situations where the buck may not necessarily stop with the top-most official position, as with Paul Kagame who was Rwanda's supreme authority despite being vice president from 1994 to 2000’ contains an error.

Instead of ‘Their assumptions do not account for situations’ this should read ‘Their assumptions do account for situations.’
