Graham; Alexander Coppock, 2022, "Asking About Attitude Change", https://doi.org/10.60600/YU/2ADPVK, Yale Dataverse, V2 Surveys often ask respondents how information or events changed their attitudes. Does [information X] make you more or less supportive of [policy Y]? Does [scandal X] make you more or less likely to vote for [politician Y]? We show that this type of question (the change format) exhibits poor measurement properties, in large part because subjects en...

Not by Turnout Alone: Measuring the Sources of Electoral Change, 2012 to 2016 Apr 8, 2026 - ISPS Data Archive Seth J. Hill; Daniel J. Hopkins; Gregory Huber, 2021, "Not by Turnout Alone: Measuring the Sources of Electoral Change, 2012 to 2016", https://doi.org/10.60600/YU/M5IM2I, Yale Dataverse, V2 Changes in partisan outcomes between consecutive elections must come from changes in the composition of the electorate or changes in the vote choices of consistent voters. How much composition versus conversion drives electoral change has critical implications for the policy mandates of election victories and campaigning and governing strategies. H...
Active Maintenance: A Proposal for the Long-term Computational Reproducibility of Scientific Results Apr 8, 2026 - ISPS Data Archive Limor Peer; Lilla Orr; Alexander Coppock, 2021, "Active Maintenance: A Proposal for the Long-term Computational Reproducibility of Scientific Results", https://doi.org/10.60600/YU/STDUPI, Yale Dataverse, V2 Computational reproducibility, or the ability to reproduce analytic results of a scientific study on the basis of publicly available code and data, is a shared goal of many researchers, journals, and scientific communities. Researchers in many disciplines including political science have made strides toward realizing that goal. A new challenge, how...
Work Requirements and Perceived Deservingness of Medicaid Apr 8, 2026 - ISPS Data Archive Jennifer Wu, 2021, "Work Requirements and Perceived Deservingness of Medicaid", https://doi.org/10.60600/YU/4YINWR, Yale Dataverse, V2 Does an individual’s effort to acquire employer-sponsored health insurance through employment affect whether they are deserving of health insurance? Much of the current literature that examines the deservingness of federally-funded health insurance focuses on an individual’s responsibility in becoming ill. However, logic from the welfare literature...
Partisan Differences in Social Distancing May Originate in Norms and Beliefs: Results from Novel Data Apr 8, 2026 - ISPS Data Archive Jennifer Wu; Gregory Huber, 2021, "Partisan Differences in Social Distancing May Originate in Norms and Beliefs: Results from Novel Data", https://doi.org/10.60600/YU/1R7FQT, Yale Dataverse, V2 Objective: Recent academic work on the coronavirus (COVID‐19) pandemic has established a persistent difference between Democrats and Republicans in social distancing behaviors. We uncover a potential explanation for this difference—social norms and beliefs. Methods: We use a series of ordinary least squares regression specifications on novel survey...
Correcting Bias in Perceptions of Public Opinion Among American Elected Officials: Results from Two Field Experiments Apr 8, 2026 - ISPS Data Archive Joshua L. Kalla; Ethan Porter, 2021, "Correcting Bias in Perceptions of Public Opinion Among American Elected Officials: Results from Two Field Experiments", https://doi.org/10.60600/YU/EBRMRY, Yale Dataverse, V2 While concerns about the public’s receptivity to factual information are widespread, much less attention has been paid to the factual receptivity, or lack thereof, of elected officials. Recent survey research has made clear that US legislators and legislative staff systematically misperceive their constituents’ opinions on salient public policies....
Broad Cross-National Public Support for Accelerated COVID-19 Vaccine Trial Designs Apr 8, 2026 - ISPS Data Archive David E. Broockman; Joshua L. Kalla; Alexander Guerrero; Mark Budolfson; Nir Eyal; Nicholas P. Jewell; Monica Magalhaes; Jasjeet S. Sekhon, 2021, "Broad Cross-National Public Support for Accelerated COVID-19 Vaccine Trial Designs", https://doi.org/10.60600/YU/VLDF9G, Yale Dataverse, V2 A vaccine for COVID-19 is urgently needed. Several vaccine trial designs may significantly accelerate vaccine testing and approval, but also increase risks to human subjects. Concerns about whether the public would see such designs as ethical represent an important roadblock to their implementation; accordingly, both the World Health Organization a...
Control without Confirmation: The Politics of Vacancies in Presidential Appointments Apr 8, 2026 - ISPS Data Archive Christina Kinane, 2021, "Control without Confirmation: The Politics of Vacancies in Presidential Appointments", https://doi.org/10.60600/YU/HMJUGW, Yale Dataverse, V2 Scholarship on separation of powers assumes executives are constrained by legislative approval when placing agents in top policy-making positions. But presidents frequently fill vacancies in agency leadership with unconfirmed, temporary officials or leave them empty entirely. I develop a novel dataset of vacancies across 15 executive departments fr...
Racial Unfairness and Fiscal Politics Apr 8, 2026 - ISPS Data Archive Katherine Krimmel; Kelly Rader, 2021, "Racial Unfairness and Fiscal Politics", https://doi.org/10.60600/YU/H237XQ, Yale Dataverse, V2 We provide and test a theory explaining how and why racial attitudes shape public opinion on government spending in the United States. We hypothesize that many people think the government allocates money unfairly across racial groups, and “inequity aversion” leads them to reject spending as a result. Using data from an original survey, we find supp...
