Well then it's kind of a no-brainer then, isn't it? A dictator sure as hell isn't going to relinquish his power(why on earth would he?), but when he's gone, his successor might not have the same oppression skills...
No need for a study to prove that killing a dictator makes democracy more likely.

I have heard it argued before that assassinating a leader will just have someone just as bad step in. And perhaps someone more paranoid.
