Keywords:

Social Sciences, representation, elections, natural experiments, rain, instrumental variables, Congress

Abstract:

The dataset contains measures of election rain at the congressional district level for years 1956 to 2008, in addition to a number of incumbent- and district-level covariates over that period. Full data and code are available to replicate all main findings and robustness results for "Mediating the Electoral Connection".
