Allan Dafoe, 2014, "Science Deserves Better: The Imperative to Share Complete Replication Files", https://doi.org/10.60600/YU/IYU6UL, Yale Dataverse, V2
In April 2013, a controversy arose when a working paper (Herndon, Ash, and Pollin 2013) claimed to show serious errors in a highly cited and influential economics paper by Carmen Reinhart and Kenneth Rogoff (2010). The Reinhart and Rogoff paper had come to serve as authoritative evidence in elite conversations (Krugman 2013) that high levels of deb... |

Eitan Hersh, 2014, "Long-Term Effect of September 11 on the Political Behavior of Victims’ Families and Neighbors", https://doi.org/10.60600/YU/TY05NA, Yale Dataverse, V2
This article investigates the long-term effect of September 11, 2001 on the political behaviors of victims’ families and neighbors. Relative to comparable individuals, family members and residential neighbors of victims have become—and have stayed—significantly more active in politics in the last 12 years, and they have become more Republican on ac... |

Daniel Butler; Eleanor Neff Powell, 2014, "Understanding the Party Brand: Experimental Evidence on the Role of Valence", https://doi.org/10.60600/YU/ATPJPX, Yale Dataverse, V2
The valence component of a party's reputation, or brand, has been less scrutinized than other components of party-based theories of legislatures. This lack of scrutiny results from the difficulty of isolating the valence component from policy-related components and the difficulty of studying legislators' motives. We overcome these challenges by con... |

Kevin Arceneaux; Martin Johnson, 2015, "Changing Minds or Changing Channels? Partisan News in an Age of Choice", https://doi.org/10.60600/YU/D8D2UN, Yale Dataverse, V2
We live in an age of media saturation, where with a few clicks of the remote—or mouse—we can tune in to programming where the facts fit our ideological predispositions. But what are the political consequences of this vast landscape of media choice? Partisan news has been roundly castigated for reinforcing prior beliefs and contributing to the highl... |

Susan D. Hyde; Nikolay Marinov, 2014, "Information and Self-Enforcing Democracy: The Role of International Election Observation", https://doi.org/10.60600/YU/ZECYQQ, Yale Dataverse, V2
This article argues that when democracy is not yet institutionalized, leaders have little incentive to push for clean elections, in part because they are likely to face accusations of fraud from domestic opposition groups regardless of their true behavior. Reputable international election observers can facilitate self-enforcing democracy by providi... |

Alan S. Gerber; Gregory Huber; David Doherty; Conor M. Dowling; Seth J. Hill, 2014, "Do Perceptions of Ballot Secrecy Influence Turnout? Results from a Field Experiment", https://doi.org/10.60600/YU/K3CVZR, Yale Dataverse, V2
Although the secret ballot has been secured as a legal matter in the United States, formal secrecy protections are not equivalent to convincing citizens that they may vote privately and without fear of reprisal. We present survey evidence that those who have not previously voted are particularly likely to voice doubts about the secrecy of the votin... |

David E. Broockman, 2013, "Black Politicians Are More Intrinsically Motivated to Advance Blacks’ Interests: A Field Experiment Manipulating Political Incentives", https://doi.org/10.60600/YU/XHUDSR, Yale Dataverse, V2
Why are politicians more likely to advance the interests of those of their race? I present a field experiment demonstrating that black politicians are more intrinsically motivated to advance blacks' interests than are their counterparts. Guided by elite interviews, I emailed 6,928 U.S. state legislators from a putatively black alias asking for help... |

Gregory Huber; Seth J. Hill; Gabriel S. Lenz, 2014, "Sources of Bias in Retrospective Decision Making: Experimental Evidence on Voters’ Limitations in Controlling Incumbents", https://doi.org/10.60600/YU/DCNMXL, Yale Dataverse, V2
Are citizens competent to assess the performance of incumbent politicians? Observational studies cast doubt on voter competence by documenting several biases in retrospective assessments of performance. However, these studies are open to alternative interpretations because of the complexity of the real world. In this article, we show that these bia... |

Alan S. Gerber; Gregory Huber; David Doherty; Conor M. Dowling, 2013, "Personality and the Strength and Direction of Partisan Identification", https://doi.org/10.60600/YU/IO8VSO, Yale Dataverse, V2
We examine the associations between personality traits and the strength and direction of partisan identification using a large national sample. We theorize that the relationships between Big Five personality traits and which party a person affiliates with should mirror those between the Big Five and ideology, which we find to be the case. This sugg... |

David Doherty; Gregory Huber; Alan S. Gerber; Conor M. Dowling, 2013, "Assessing the Stability of Psychological and Political Survey Measures", https://doi.org/10.60600/YU/HZ2OY5, Yale Dataverse, V2
Recent research demonstrates growing scholarly interest in the relationship between personality characteristics and political attitudes and behaviors. In this article we present analysis using data from a national panel survey conducted in two waves—the first prior to the 2010 U.S. midterm election, the second after it. We assess the stability of a... |
