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... |

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... |

Alan S. Gerber; Gregory Huber; David Doherty; Conor M. Dowling, 2013, "Is There a Secret Ballot? Ballot Secrecy Perceptions and Their Implications for Voting Behaviour", https://doi.org/10.60600/YU/FHS5P3, Yale Dataverse, V2
Do people believe the votes they cast are truly secret? Novel items added to a nationally representative survey show that 25 per cent of respondents report not believing their ballot choices are kept secret and over 70 per cent report sharing their vote choices with others. These findings suggest that standard models of candidate choice should acco... |

Neil Malhotra; Melissa Michelson; Ali Valenzuela, 2014, "Emails from Official Sources Can Increase Turnout", https://doi.org/10.60600/YU/SCUYUK, Yale Dataverse, V2
Previous research by Nickerson (2007a) testing 13 email get-out-the-vote (GOTV) campaigns concludes that email from third parties is not an effective method of increasing voter turnout. We conducted three rounds of email GOTV experiments in San Mateo County, California, in cooperation with the local registrar, the elected official responsible for a... |

Nikolay Marinov; Susan D. Hyde, 2013, "Which Elections Can Be Lost?", https://doi.org/10.60600/YU/2XL4V3, Yale Dataverse, V2
The concept of electoral competition is relevant to a variety of research agendas in political science, yet the question of how to measure electoral competition has received little direct attention. We revisit the distinction proposed by Giovanni Sartori between competition as a structure or rule of the game and competitiveness as an outcome of tha... |

Nikolay Marinov, 2012, "Voter Attitudes When Democracy Promotion Turns Partisan: Evidence From a Survey-Experiment in Lebanon", https://doi.org/10.60600/YU/VERU3G, Yale Dataverse, V2
This article studies how voters react when foreign powers support a particular political party in a fragile democracy. The article identifies which voters believe the intervention plays a positive role in the electoral process and which voters have the opposite opinion. The article argues that educated and politically sophisticated voters will reje... |

Eric Brunner; Stephen L. Ross; Ebonya Washington, 2013, "Does Less Income Mean Less Representation?", https://doi.org/10.60600/YU/YUVYJP, Yale Dataverse, V2
We assemble a novel dataset of matched legislative and constituent votes and demonstrate that less income does not mean less representation. We show: (i) The opinions of high- and low-income voters are highly correlated; the legislator's vote often reflects the desire of both. (ii) What differences in representation by income exist vary by legislat... |
