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... |

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... |

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... |

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... |

Although field experiments have long been used to study voter turnout, only recently has this research method generated widespread scholarly interest. This article reviews the substantive contributions of the field experimental literature on voter turnout. This literature may be divided into two strands, one that focuses on the question of which ca... |

Ruth K. Ditlmann; Paul Lagunes, 2016, "The (Identification) Cards You Are Dealt: Biased Treatment of Anglos and Latinos Using Municipal-Issued versus Unofficial ID Cards", https://doi.org/10.60600/YU/TIDLAF, Yale Dataverse, V2
The current field experiment investigated if and how Latinos versus Anglos experience biased treatment in a setting where documentation is relevant. In an audit experiment, Latino customers were treated differently than a matched team of Anglo customers when making $10 check payments at retail stores. Specifically, Latinos were asked to present an... |

Alan S. Gerber; Gregory Huber; Daniel Biggers; David Hendry, 2015, "Ballot Secrecy Concerns and Voter Mobilization: New Experimental Evidence About Message Source, Context, and the Duration of Mobilization Effects", https://doi.org/10.60600/YU/J3NR9U, Yale Dataverse, V2
Recent research finds that doubts about the integrity of the secret ballot as an institution persist among the American public. We build on this finding by providing novel field experimental evidence about how information about ballot secrecy protections can increase turnout among registered voters who had not previously voted. First, we show that... |

Kate Baldwin, 2014, "When Politicians Cede Control of Resources: Land, Chiefs, and Coalition-Building in Africa", https://doi.org/10.60600/YU/FEJASS, Yale Dataverse, V2
Why would politicians give up power over the allocation of resources to community leaders? This article examines why many African governments have ceded power over the allocation of land to unelected traditional leaders. In contrast to the existing literature, which suggests that traditional leaders' power is a historical holdover that has not been... |

Allan Dafoe, 2014, "Science Deserves Better: The Imperative to Share Complete Replication Files", https://doi.org/10.60600/YU/IYU6UL, Yale Dataverse, V2
In April 2013, a controversy arose when a working paper (Herndon, Ash, and Pollin 2013) claimed to show serious errors in a highly cited and influential economics paper by Carmen Reinhart and Kenneth Rogoff (2010). The Reinhart and Rogoff paper had come to serve as authoritative evidence in elite conversations (Krugman 2013) that high levels of deb... |

This article investigates the long-term effect of September 11, 2001 on the political behaviors of victims’ families and neighbors. Relative to comparable individuals, family members and residential neighbors of victims have become—and have stayed—significantly more active in politics in the last 12 years, and they have become more Republican on ac... |
