Japanese Public Opinion, Political Persuasion, and the Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons Apr 8, 2026 - ISPS Data Archive Jonathon Baron; Rebecca Davis Gibbons; Stephen Herzog, 2020, "Japanese Public Opinion, Political Persuasion, and the Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons", https://doi.org/10.60600/YU/PR9GPK, Yale Dataverse, V2 The Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons (TPNW) poses a challenge to decades of Japanese nuclear policy. While Japan has relied on the US nuclear umbrella since the aftermath of World War II, numerous pro-disarmament groups—including the Hibakusha—are calling for Tokyo to join the Treaty. We contribute to these discussions with a new nation...
Can the Backlash Against Voter ID Laws Activate Minority Voters? Experimental Evidence Examining Voter Mobilization Through Psychological Reactance Apr 8, 2026 - ISPS Data Archive Daniel Biggers, 2019, "Can the Backlash Against Voter ID Laws Activate Minority Voters? Experimental Evidence Examining Voter Mobilization Through Psychological Reactance", https://doi.org/10.60600/YU/PISPXJ, Yale Dataverse, V2 Research on the participatory consequences of electoral reforms that increase voting costs largely ignores how the perception that those efforts’ purpose is to disenfranchise certain individuals may affect turnout. Leveraging psychological reactance theory, I test whether invoking that perception activates African Americans (who disproportionately...
A Field Experiment on Community Policing and Police Legitimacy Apr 8, 2026 - ISPS Data Archive Kyle Peyton; Michael Sierra-Arevalo; David Rand, 2023, "A Field Experiment on Community Policing and Police Legitimacy", https://doi.org/10.60600/YU/NLOXOG, Yale Dataverse, V2 Replication data and statistical code for the results reported in the paper "Community Policing and Police Legitimacy: A Field Experiment".
A Note on Dropping Experimental Subjects who Fail a Manipulation Check Apr 8, 2026 - ISPS Data Archive Peter Aronow; Jonathon Baron; Lauren Pinson, 2018, "A Note on Dropping Experimental Subjects who Fail a Manipulation Check", https://doi.org/10.60600/YU/7CA88G, Yale Dataverse, V2 Dropping subjects after a post-treatment manipulation check is common practice across the social sciences, presumably to restrict estimates to a subpopulation of subjects who understand the experimental prompt. We show that this practice can lead to serious bias and argue for a focus on what is revealed without discarding subjects. Generalizing res...
Did Shy Trump Supporters Bias the 2016 Polls? Evidence from a Nationally-representative List Experiment Apr 8, 2026 - ISPS Data Archive Alexander Coppock, 2017, "Did Shy Trump Supporters Bias the 2016 Polls? Evidence from a Nationally-representative List Experiment", https://doi.org/10.60600/YU/Z88TZQ, Yale Dataverse, V2 Explanations for the failure to predict Donald Trump’s win in the 2016 Presidential election sometimes include the “Shy Trump Supporter” hypothesis, according to which some Trump supporters succumb to social desirability bias and hide their vote preference from pollsters. I evaluate this hypothesis by comparing direct question and list experimental...
Democratic and Republican Physicians Provide Different Care on Politicized Health Issues Apr 8, 2026 - ISPS Data Archive Eitan Hersh; Matthew Goldenberg, 2019, "Democratic and Republican Physicians Provide Different Care on Politicized Health Issues", https://doi.org/10.60600/YU/LEOHW4, Yale Dataverse, V2 Physicians frequently interact with patients about politically salient health issues, such as drug use, firearm safety, and sexual behavior. We investigate whether physicians’ own political views affect their treatment decisions on these issues. We linked the records of over 20,000 primary care physicians in 29 US states to a voter registration dat...
Recruitment and Perceptions of Gender Bias in Party Leader Support Apr 8, 2026 - ISPS Data Archive Daniel Butler; Jessica Preece, 2019, "Recruitment and Perceptions of Gender Bias in Party Leader Support", https://doi.org/10.60600/YU/QYAN4Q, Yale Dataverse, V2 Gender differences in who gets recruited by political party elites contribute to women’s under representation on the ballot, but recent evidence suggests that even when women are recruited to the same extent as men, they are still less likely to be interested in seeking office. Why do men and women respond differently to invitations to seek office?...
Chocolate Scents and Product Sales: A Randomized Controlled Trial in a Canadian Bookstore and Café Apr 8, 2026 - ISPS Data Archive Mary McGrath; Peter Aronow; Vivien Shotwell, 2017, "Chocolate Scents and Product Sales: A Randomized Controlled Trial in a Canadian Bookstore and Café", https://doi.org/10.60600/YU/KUKU37, Yale Dataverse, V2 We report the results of a 31-day trial on the effects of chocolate scent on purchasing behavior in a bookstore. Our study replicates and extends a 10-day randomized controlled trial in order to examine the generalizability of the original finding. We first introduce the study of store atmospherics and highlight the importance and dearth of replica...
Trading Barriers: Immigration and the Remaking of Globalization Apr 8, 2026 - ISPS Data Archive Margaret E. Peters, 2017, "Trading Barriers: Immigration and the Remaking of Globalization", https://doi.org/10.60600/YU/T2YRNI, Yale Dataverse, V2 Why have countries increasingly restricted immigration even when they have opened their markets to foreign competition through trade or allowed their firms to move jobs overseas? In Trading Barriers, Margaret Peters argues that the increased ability of firms to produce anywhere in the world combined with growing international competition due to low...
The Causal Effects of Elite Position-Taking on Voter Attitudes: Field Experiments with Elite Communication Apr 8, 2026 - ISPS Data Archive David E. Broockman; Daniel Butler, 2016, "The Causal Effects of Elite Position-Taking on Voter Attitudes: Field Experiments with Elite Communication", https://doi.org/10.60600/YU/YR8WCF, Yale Dataverse, V2 Influential theories depict politicians as, alternatively, strongly constrained by public opinion, able to shape public opinion with persuasive appeals, or relatively unconstrained by public opinion and able to shape it merely by announcing their positions. To test these theories, we conducted unique field experiments in cooperation with sitting po...
