Ebonya Washington, 2010, "Female Socialization: How Daughters Affect Their Legislator Fathers’ Voting on Women’s Issues", https://doi.org/10.60600/YU/IXTSR7, Yale Dataverse, V2, UNF:6:i3IoOR+CoTTITPcr/zqalQ== [fileUNF]
Parenting daughters, sociologists have shown, increases feminist sympathies. I test the hypothesis that children, much like neighbors or peers, can influence parental behavior. I demonstrate that conditional on total number of children, each daughter increases a congressperson's propensity to vote liberally, particularly on reproductive rights issu... |

Mei Guan; Donald P. Green, 2010, "Non-Coercive Mobilization in State-Controlled Elections: An Experimental Study in Beijing", https://doi.org/10.60600/YU/TWLIFH, Yale Dataverse, V2, UNF:6:C/8PeAd25HG0QVec09DwsQ== [fileUNF]
China has gradually introduced a limited degree of democratization to its system of local governance, permitting self-nominated candidates for People’s Congress to campaign on their own behalf. Liberalization of elections has also meant that voters are less likely to be coerced into voting by their work groups. What are the likely consequences of l... |

Jonathan S. Krasno; Donald P. Green, 2010, "Do Televised Presidential Ads Increase Voter Turnout? Evidence from a Natural Experiment.", https://doi.org/10.60600/YU/QJKB0I, Yale Dataverse, V2, UNF:6:+ySWc5FwpUlU46MJtW4vKQ== [fileUNF]
The geographic idiosyncrasies of states and media markets set the stage for a natural experiment in which residents of a given state may be exposed to widely varying quantities of presidential television advertising. We use this natural experiment to estimate the effects of TV ads on voter turnout. Analysis of voting rates in media markets reveals... |

Alan S. Gerber; Donald P. Green; Christopher W. Larimer, 2010, "Social Pressure and Voter Turnout: Evidence from a Large-Scale Field Experiment", https://doi.org/10.60600/YU/CGMWNW, Yale Dataverse, V2, UNF:6:kGen8sAhSRBpZo+dWQAw8A== [fileUNF]
Voter turnout theories based on rational self-interested behavior generally fail to predict significant turnout unless they account for the utility that citizens receive from performing their civic duty. We distinguish between two aspects of this type of utility, intrinsic satisfaction from behaving in accordance with a norm and extrinsic incentive... |

Paige Vaughn; Gregory Huber, 2025, "Seeing the State in Action: Public Preferences About and Judgments of Common Police–Civilian Interactions", https://doi.org/10.60600/YU/OCEBTW, Yale Dataverse, V1
New technologies allow unprecedented public visibility of routine police–civilian interactions, but we know little about how the public wants the police to behave during them. We examine public evaluations about preferred punishment and fair treatment using vignette experiments that randomize multiple features of police–civilian interactions. These... |

Christopher Kenny; Cory McCartan; Shiro Kuriwaki; Tyler Simko; Kosuke Imai, 2024, "Evaluating Bias and Noise Induced by the U.S. Census Bureau’s Privacy Protection Methods", https://doi.org/10.60600/YU/RFDUQU, Yale Dataverse, V1
The U.S. Census Bureau faces a difficult trade-off between the accuracy of Census statistics and the protection of individual information. We conduct an independent evaluation of bias and noise induced by the Bureau’s two main disclosure avoidance systems: the TopDown algorithm used for the 2020 Census and the swapping algorithm implemented for the... |

Mary McGrath; John Zaller; Marty Cohen; Peter Aronow, 2018, "Ideologically Extreme Candidates in U.S. Presidential Elections, 1948-2012", https://doi.org/10.60600/YU/PPBAY4, Yale Dataverse, V1
Scholars routinely cite the landslide defeats of Barry Goldwater and George McGovern as evidence that American electorates punish extremism in presidential politics. Yet systematic evidence for this view is thin. In this article we use postwar election outcomes to assess the electoral effects of extremism. In testing ten models over the seventeen e... |
