ISPS Data Archive

Part of the Yale Institution for Social and Policy Studies (ISPS) Dataverse, the ISPS Data Archive includes “replication packages” (i.e., data, analysis code, requisite documentation, and other associated materials) for research supported by ISPS. Replication packages have been reviewed to enable long-term usability using the YARD tool. Read about our approach to curating for reproducibility.

The Conscription of Wealth: Mass Warfare and the Demand for Progressive Taxation Apr 8, 2026 Kenneth Scheve; David Stasavage, 2011, "The Conscription of Wealth: Mass Warfare and the Demand for Progressive Taxation", https://doi.org/10.60600/YU/9AAEUR, Yale Dataverse, V2 The dominant narrative of the politics of redistribution in political science and economics highlights the signature role of the rise of electoral democracy and the development of political parties that mobilize working-class groups. We argue in this article that this narrative ignores the critical role played by mass warfare in the development of...
The Causal Effect of Media-Driven Political Interest on Political Attitudes and Behavior Apr 8, 2026 Daniel Butler; Ana De La O, 2011, "The Causal Effect of Media-Driven Political Interest on Political Attitudes and Behavior", https://doi.org/10.60600/YU/UUZDXG, Yale Dataverse, V2 This article considers the hypothesis that media-driven political interest shapes party identification, the timing of vote decisions, and electoral participation. To estimate the effect of media-driven political interest, we make a key distinction between political interest as a lifetime political orientation and political interest that rises and f...
Personality Traits and the Consumption of Political Information Apr 8, 2026 Alan S. Gerber; Gregory Huber; David Doherty; Conor M. Dowling, 2011, "Personality Traits and the Consumption of Political Information", https://doi.org/10.60600/YU/YXT7JY, Yale Dataverse, V2 In this article, we examine the relationship between dispositional personality traits (the Big Five) and the consumption of political information. We present detailed hypotheses about the characteristics of the political environment that are likely to affect the appeal of politics and political information in general for individuals with different...
Party Affiliation, Partisanship, and Political Beliefs: A Field Experiment Apr 8, 2026 Alan S. Gerber; Gregory Huber; Ebonya Washington, 2011, "Party Affiliation, Partisanship, and Political Beliefs: A Field Experiment", https://doi.org/10.60600/YU/EGVRS6, Yale Dataverse, V2 Partisanship is strongly correlated with attitudes and behavior, but it is unclear from this pattern whether partisan identity has a causal effect on political behavior and attitudes. We report the results of a field experiment that investigates the causal effect of party identification. Prior to the February 2008 Connecticut presidential primary,...
Is Transparency an Effective Anti-Corruption Strategy? Evidence from a Field Experiment in India Apr 8, 2026 Leonid Peisakhin; Paul Pinto, 2011, "Is Transparency an Effective Anti-Corruption Strategy? Evidence from a Field Experiment in India", https://doi.org/10.60600/YU/H9RNCI, Yale Dataverse, V2 Can freedom of information laws be harnessed by underprivileged members of society and used to obtain greater access to basic public goods that are otherwise attainable only through bribery? Drawing on a field experiment on access to ration cards among New Delhi’s slum dwellers, we demonstrate that India’s recently adopted freedom of information la...
Monitoring Bureaucratic Compliance: Using Field Experiments to Improve Governance Apr 8, 2026 Daniel Butler, 2011, "Monitoring Bureaucratic Compliance: Using Field Experiments to Improve Governance", https://doi.org/10.60600/YU/FZYR0R, Yale Dataverse, V2 How do legislators get bureaucrats to implement the laws they pass? McCubbins and Schwartz (1984) suggest that 'fire alarms' (i.e. where the legislators rely on citizens and organized interest groups to let them know about instances of bureaucratic non-compliance), provide a cost-effective way to achieve this compliance. This paper reports on the r...
Observational Learning: Evidence from a Randomized Natural Field Experiment Apr 8, 2026 Hongbin Cai; Yuyu Chen; Hanming Fang, 2017, "Observational Learning: Evidence from a Randomized Natural Field Experiment", https://doi.org/10.60600/YU/BKQJFA, Yale Dataverse, V2 We report results from a randomized natural field experiment conducted in a restaurant dining setting to distinguish the observational learning effect from the saliency effect. We find that, when customers are given ranking information of the five most popular dishes, the demand for those dishes increases by 13 to 20 percent. We do not find a signi...
The Impact of Electoral Debate on Public Opinions: An Experimental Investigation of the 2005 New York City Mayoral Election Apr 8, 2026 Sendhil Mullainathan; Ebonya Washington; Julia Azari, 2011, "The Impact of Electoral Debate on Public Opinions: An Experimental Investigation of the 2005 New York City Mayoral Election", https://doi.org/10.60600/YU/VMTXYK, Yale Dataverse, V2 Political debates have long been a part of the American polity. The early practice was aimed primarily at promoting parliamentary and elite deliberation, as well as informing the broader public about issues and candidates (Jamieson and Birdsell 1988: 37). Televised debates have altered this dynamic, structuring debate as a practice to educate the e...
Experimental Justice: Random Judicial Assignment and the Partisan Process of Supreme Court Review Apr 8, 2026 Matthew Hall, 2011, "Experimental Justice: Random Judicial Assignment and the Partisan Process of Supreme Court Review", https://doi.org/10.60600/YU/GIRRHN, Yale Dataverse, V2 This study utilizes the random assignment of judges to panels in the U.S. courts of appeals to measure how the partisanship of these judges affects whether or not the Supreme Court agrees to hear a case and subsequently overturns the decision of the lower panel. Results from the study provide evidence of partisan behavior in the Supreme Court revie...
Correction to Gerber and Green (2000), Replication of Disputed Findings, and Reply to Imai (2005) Apr 8, 2026 Alan S. Gerber; Donald P.

When data-processing errors are repaired, the original substantive findings from the New Haven experiment remain unchanged. As previously reported, brief phone calls do not increase voter turnout. The “correction” that Imai (2005) offers, which purports to...
