The 2008 Cooperative Campaign Analysis Project (CCAP) Apr 8, 2026 - ISPS Data Archive Simon Jackman; Lynn Vavreck, 2016, "The 2008 Cooperative Campaign Analysis Project (CCAP)", https://doi.org/10.60600/YU/P9GDTD, Yale Dataverse, V2 The 2008 Cooperative Campaign Analysis Project (CCAP)
How Do Public Goods Providers Play Public Goods Games? Apr 8, 2026 - ISPS Data Archive Daniel Butler; Thad Kousser, 2018, "How Do Public Goods Providers Play Public Goods Games?", https://doi.org/10.60600/YU/3BEYN7, Yale Dataverse, V2 We study how policymakers play public goods games, and how their behavior compares to the typical subjects we study, by conducting parallel experiments on college undergraduates and American state legislators. We find that the legislators play public goods games more cooperatively and more consistently than the undergraduates. Legislators are also...
How Politicians Discount the Opinions of Constituents with Whom They Disagree Apr 8, 2026 - ISPS Data Archive Daniel Butler; Adam M. Dynes, 2015, "How Politicians Discount the Opinions of Constituents with Whom They Disagree", https://doi.org/10.60600/YU/I3IHGK, Yale Dataverse, V2 We argue that politicians systematically discount the opinions of constituents with whom they disagree and that this “disagreement discounting” is a contributing factor to ideological incongruence. A pair of survey experiments where state and local politicians are the subjects of interest show that public officials rationalize this behavior by assu...
Do Better Committee Assignments Meaningfully Benefit Legislators? Evidence from a Randomized Experiment in the Arkansas State Legislature Apr 8, 2026 - ISPS Data Archive David E. Broockman; Daniel Butler, 2015, "Do Better Committee Assignments Meaningfully Benefit Legislators? Evidence from a Randomized Experiment in the Arkansas State Legislature", https://doi.org/10.60600/YU/78ZQCB, Yale Dataverse, V2 A large literature argues that the committee assignment process plays an important role in shaping legislative politics because some committees provide legislators with substantial benefits. However, evaluating the degree to which legislators benefit from winning their preferred assignments has been challenging with existing data. This paper sheds...
Comparing and Combining List and Endorsement Experiments: Evidence from Afghanistan Apr 8, 2026 - ISPS Data Archive Graeme Blair; Kosuke Imai; Jason Lyall, 2015, "Comparing and Combining List and Endorsement Experiments: Evidence from Afghanistan", https://doi.org/10.60600/YU/0OMNAS, Yale Dataverse, V2 List and endorsement experiments are becoming increasingly popular among social scientists as indirect survey techniques for sensitive questions. When studying issues such as racial prejudice and support for militant groups, these survey methodologies may improve the validity of measurements by reducing nonresponse and social desirability biases. W...
Policy-Induced Risk and Responsive Participation: The Effect of a Son’s Conscription Risk on the Voting Behavior of His Parents Apr 8, 2026 - ISPS Data Archive Tiffany Davenport, 2015, "Policy-Induced Risk and Responsive Participation: The Effect of a Son’s Conscription Risk on the Voting Behavior of His Parents", https://doi.org/10.60600/YU/VRATSP, Yale Dataverse, V2 When do government policies induce responsive political participation? This study tests two hypotheses in the context of military draft policies. First, policy-induced risk motivates political participation. Second, contextual-level moderators, such as local events that make risk particularly salient, may intensify the effect of risk on participati...
Field Experiments and the Study of Voter Turnout Apr 8, 2026 - ISPS Data Archive Donald P. Green; Mary McGrath; Peter Aronow, 2014, "Field Experiments and the Study of Voter Turnout", https://doi.org/10.60600/YU/ACAJSM, Yale Dataverse, V2 Although field experiments have long been used to study voter turnout, only recently has this research method generated widespread scholarly interest. This article reviews the substantive contributions of the field experimental literature on voter turnout. This literature may be divided into two strands, one that focuses on the question of which ca...
The (Identification) Cards You Are Dealt: Biased Treatment of Anglos and Latinos Using Municipal-Issued versus Unofficial ID Cards Apr 8, 2026 - ISPS Data Archive Ruth K. Ditlmann; Paul Lagunes, 2016, "The (Identification) Cards You Are Dealt: Biased Treatment of Anglos and Latinos Using Municipal-Issued versus Unofficial ID Cards", https://doi.org/10.60600/YU/TIDLAF, Yale Dataverse, V2 The current field experiment investigated if and how Latinos versus Anglos experience biased treatment in a setting where documentation is relevant. In an audit experiment, Latino customers were treated differently than a matched team of Anglo customers when making $10 check payments at retail stores. Specifically, Latinos were asked to present an...
Ballot Secrecy Concerns and Voter Mobilization: New Experimental Evidence About Message Source, Context, and the Duration of Mobilization Effects Apr 8, 2026 - ISPS Data Archive Alan S. Gerber; Gregory Huber; Daniel Biggers; David Hendry, 2015, "Ballot Secrecy Concerns and Voter Mobilization: New Experimental Evidence About Message Source, Context, and the Duration of Mobilization Effects", https://doi.org/10.60600/YU/J3NR9U, Yale Dataverse, V2 Recent research finds that doubts about the integrity of the secret ballot as an institution persist among the American public. We build on this finding by providing novel field experimental evidence about how information about ballot secrecy protections can increase turnout among registered voters who had not previously voted. First, we show that...
When Politicians Cede Control of Resources: Land, Chiefs, and Coalition-Building in Africa Apr 8, 2026 - ISPS Data Archive Kate Baldwin, 2014, "When Politicians Cede Control of Resources: Land, Chiefs, and Coalition-Building in Africa", https://doi.org/10.60600/YU/FEJASS, Yale Dataverse, V2 Why would politicians give up power over the allocation of resources to community leaders? This article examines why many African governments have ceded power over the allocation of land to unelected traditional leaders. In contrast to the existing literature, which suggests that traditional leaders' power is a historical holdover that has not been...
