The Majority-Minority Divide in Attitudes Toward Internal Migration: Evidence from Mumbai Apr 8, 2026 - ISPS Data Archive Nikhar Gaikwad; Gareth Nellis, 2017, "The Majority-Minority Divide in Attitudes Toward Internal Migration: Evidence from Mumbai", https://doi.org/10.60600/YU/ZVXP3P, Yale Dataverse, V2 Rapid urbanization is among the major processes affecting the developing world. The influx of migrants to cities frequently provokes antagonism on the part of long-term residents, manifested in labor market discrimination, political nativism, and violence. We implemented a novel, face-to-face survey experiment on a representative sample of Mumbai's...
Ideology, Learning and Policy Diffusion: Experimental Evidence Apr 8, 2026 - ISPS Data Archive Daniel Butler; Craig Volden; Adam M. Dynes; Boris Shor, 2016, "Ideology, Learning and Policy Diffusion: Experimental Evidence", https://doi.org/10.60600/YU/WRE4HY, Yale Dataverse, V2 We introduce experimental research design to the study of policy diffusion in order to better understand how political ideology affects policymakers’ willingness to learn from one another's experiences. Our two experiments–embedded in national surveys of U.S. municipal officials–expose local policymakers to vignettes describing the zoning and home...
Editorial Bias in Crowd Sourced Political Information Apr 8, 2026 - ISPS Data Archive Joshua L. Kalla; Peter Aronow, 2015, "Editorial Bias in Crowd Sourced Political Information", https://doi.org/10.60600/YU/YUU5A3, Yale Dataverse, V2 The Internet has dramatically expanded citizens’ access to and ability to engage with political information. On many websites, any user can contribute and edit “crowd-sourced” information about important political figures. One of the most prominent examples of crowd-sourced information on the Internet is Wikipedia, a free and open encyclopedia crea...
Open Trade, Closed Borders: Immigration in the Era of Globalization Apr 8, 2026 - ISPS Data Archive Margaret E. Peters, 2015, "Open Trade, Closed Borders: Immigration in the Era of Globalization", https://doi.org/10.60600/YU/8LFUIP, Yale Dataverse, V2 What explains variation in immigration policy, especially policy regulating low-skill workers? A common argument invokes prejudice against foreigners as an explanation for why nations close their economies to immigrants. This prejudice has been ubiquitous throughout history even as immigration policies changed. Social theories of this sort may be d...
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...
