Donald P. Green; Alan S. Gerber; David W. Nickerson, 2010, "Getting Out the Vote in Local Elections: Results from Six Door-to-Door Canvassing Experiments", https://doi.org/10.60600/YU/B9TZNZ, Yale Dataverse, V2
Prior to the November 6, 2001 elections, randomized voter mobilization experiments were conducted in Bridgeport, Columbus, Detroit, Minneapolis, Raleigh, and St. Paul. Names appearing on official lists of registered voters were randomly assigned to treatment and control groups. A few days before Election Day, the treatment group received a face-to-... |

Donald P. Green; Terence Y. Leong; Holger Lutz Kern; Alan S. Gerber; Christopher W. Larimer, 2010, "Testing the Accuracy of Regression Discontinuity Analysis Using Experimental Benchmarks", https://doi.org/10.60600/YU/PRLGEC, Yale Dataverse, V2
Regression discontinuity (RD) designs enable researchers to estimate causal effects using observational data. These causal effects are identified at the point of discontinuity that distinguishes those observations that do or do not receive the treatment. One challenge in applying RD in practice is that data may be sparse in the immediate vicinity o... |

Thad Dunning; Lauren Harrison, 2010, "Cross-cutting Cleavages and Ethnic Voting: An Experimental Study of Cousinage in Mali", https://doi.org/10.60600/YU/WZPQR1, Yale Dataverse, V2
Social scientists often attribute moderation of the political salience of ethnicity in ethnically diverse societies to the presence of cross-cutting cleavages—that is, to dimensions of identity or interest along which members of the same ethnic group may have diverse allegiances. Yet, estimating the causal effects of cross-cutting cleavages is diff... |

Alan S. Gerber; Gregory Huber, 2010, "Partisanship and Economic Behavior: Do Partisan Differences in Economic Forecasts Predict Real Economic Behavior?", https://doi.org/10.60600/YU/YJ15W3, Yale Dataverse, V2
Survey data regularly show that assessments of current and expected future economic performance are more positive when a respondent's partisanship matches that of the President. To determine if this is a survey artifact or something deeper, we investigate whether partisanship is associated with behavioral differences in economic decisions. We const... |

Gregory Huber; John S. Lapinski, 2010, "The “Race Card” Revisited: Assessing Racial Priming in Policy Contests", https://doi.org/10.60600/YU/NF67IR, Yale Dataverse, V2
In The Race Card (2001), Mendelberg finds support for her theory that implicit racial appeals, but not explicit ones, prime racial resentment in opinion formation. She argues that citizens reject explicit appeals, rendering them ineffective, because they violate widespread egalitarian norms. Mendelberg’s innovative research, however, suffers from s... |

Susan D. Hyde, 2010, "Experimenting in Democracy Promotion: International Observers and the 2004 Presidential Elections in Indonesia", https://doi.org/10.60600/YU/KTZEDZ, Yale Dataverse, V2
Randomized field experiments have gained attention within the social sciences and the field of democracy promotion as an influential tool for causal inference and a potentially powerful method of impact evaluation. With an eye toward facilitating field experimentation in democracy promotion, I present the first field-experimental study of internati... |

Elizabeth Levy Paluck; Donald P. Green, 2010, "Deference, Dissent, and Dispute Resolution: An Experimental Intervention Using Mass Media to Change Norms and Behavior in Rwanda", https://doi.org/10.60600/YU/ZSJNYI, Yale Dataverse, V2, UNF:6:ddKtBCucGgWNTFEjbRXq7w== [fileUNF]
Deference and dissent strike a delicate balance in any polity. Insufficient deference to authority may incapacitate government, whereas too much may allow leaders to orchestrate mass violence. Although cross-national and cross-temporal variation in deference to authority and willingness to express dissent has long been studied in political science,... |

Gregory Huber; Kevin Arceneaux, 2015, "Identifying the Persuasive Effects of Presidential Advertising", https://doi.org/10.60600/YU/FULOPH, Yale Dataverse, V2
Do presidential campaign advertisements mobilize, inform, or persuade citizens? To answer this question we exploit a natural experiment, the accidental treatment of some individuals living in non-battleground states during the 2000 presidential election to either high levels or one-sided barrages of campaign advertisements simply because they resid... |

Alan S. Gerber; Dean Karlan; Daniel Bergan, 2010, "Does the Media Matter? A Field Experiment Measuring the Effect of Newspapers on Voting Behavior and Political Opinions", https://doi.org/10.60600/YU/WP2D50, Yale Dataverse, V2
We conducted a field experiment to measure the effect of exposure to newspapers on political behavior and opinion. Before the 2005 Virginia gubernatorial election, we randomly assigned individuals to a Washington Post free subscription treatment, a Washington Times free subscription treatment, or control. We find no effect of either paper on politi... |

Alan S. Gerber; Donald P. Green; Christopher W. Larimer, 2012, "An Experiment Testing the Relative Effectiveness of Encouraging Voter Participation by Inducing Feelings of Pride or Shame", https://doi.org/10.60600/YU/QVIIV5, Yale Dataverse, V2
Prior experimental research has demonstrated that voter turnout rises substantially when people receive mailings that indicate whether they voted in previous elections. This effect suggests that voters are sensitive to whether their compliance with the norm of voting is being monitored. The present study extends this line of research by investigati... |
