Gidron, Noam; Margalit, Yotam; Sheffer, Lior; Yakir, Itamar, 2025, "Replication Data for: Why Masses Support Democratic Backsliding", https://doi.org/10.7910/DVN/JXCCBJ, Harvard Dataverse, V1, UNF:6:kiFHVFg5Ej1niy6SP/oj2A== [fileUNF]
Concerns over democratic backsliding have proliferated recently, as elected politicians have sought to undermine democratic checks and balances. This study examines the underpinnings of public support for democratic backsliding, delineating five theoretical accounts: personalistic leadership, affective polarization, populism, majoritarianism and en... |
Blumenau, Jack; Lauderdale, Benjamin E., 2025, "Replication Data for: Polarization over the Priority of Political Problems", https://doi.org/10.7910/DVN/OEZDGT, Harvard Dataverse, V1, UNF:6:ZLpp1bqEbXuZMj+5mWfZFg== [fileUNF]
What drives ideological division about political problems? When prioritising which problems are most in need of redress, voters might disagree about the severity of individual outcomes that constitute such problems; the prevalence of those problems; or whether such problems are amenable to solution by government action. We field a large survey expe... |

Lin, Gechun, 2025, "Replication Data for: Using Cross-Encoders to Measure the Similarity of Short Texts in Political Science", https://doi.org/10.7910/DVN/1GDQYY, Harvard Dataverse, V1, UNF:6:x7qF7B0ar8u7Z4/4PfoQQA== [fileUNF]
In many settings, scholars wish to estimate the similarity of political texts. However, the most commonly used methods in political science struggle to identify when two texts convey the same meaning as they rely too heavily on identifying words that appear in both documents. This limitation is especially salient when the underlying documents are s... |

Singh, Shane, 2025, "Replication Data for: Compulsory Voting Increases Men's Turnout Most", https://doi.org/10.7910/DVN/C0VFMH, Harvard Dataverse, V1, UNF:6:1TS2dRvJOIqTVIhaNY/DZQ== [fileUNF]
Equal turnout fosters equal representation. As such, researchers have long sought to understand what causes gender differences in voter participation. I argue that compulsory voting increases men’s turnout relative to that of women. This is because men are particularly receptive to external incentives, while women are more intrinsically motivated.... |

Costa, Mia; Pereira, Miguel M., 2025, "Replication Data for: Why Parties Can Benefit From Promoting Occupational Diversity in Legislatures: Experimental Evidence From Three Countries", https://doi.org/10.7910/DVN/AQIBQD, Harvard Dataverse, V1, UNF:6:dtyedatgU8iFPRBHNY6aPQ== [fileUNF]
How do legislators' occupational backgrounds shape their ability to advance policy? We argue that politicians with professional experience are perceived as more credible in their areas of expertise and can more effectively persuade voters and peers. We examine this argument in a series of experiments in three Western democracies. We find that Germa... |

Spirling, Arthur, 2025, "Replication Data for: Peers, Equals, and Jurors: New Data and Methods on The Role of Legal Equality in Leveller Thought", https://doi.org/10.7910/DVN/XAQTLA, Harvard Dataverse, V1
We consider the Levellers' conception on equality relative to their contemporaries during the Civil War(s) period. We compile a corpus of hundreds of seventeenth century pamphlets and combine this with novel word embedding techniques trained on millions of Early Modern English documents to make statements about word ``meanings". We focus on underst... |

Ba, Bocar; Ge, Haosen; Kaplan, Jacob; Knox, Dean; Komisarchik, Mayya; Lanzalotto, Gregory; Mariman, Rei; Mummolo, Jonathan; Rivera, Roman; Torres, Michelle, 2025, "Replication Data for: Political Diversity in U.S. Police Agencies", https://doi.org/10.7910/DVN/CZOPH3, Harvard Dataverse, V1, UNF:6:oKXocMH7gkGbrLlnQxGvlA== [fileUNF]
Partisans are increasingly divided on policing policy, which may affect officer behavior. We merge rosters from 99 of the 100 largest local U.S. agencies—over one third of local law enforcement agents nationwide—with voter files to study police partisanship. Police skew more Republican than their jurisdictions, with notable exceptions. Using fine-g... |

Heseltine, Michael; Barnehl, Hennes; Wojcieszak, Magdalena, 2024, "Replication Data for: Partisan Temporal Selective News Avoidance: Evidence from Online Trace Data", https://doi.org/10.7910/DVN/BLGFDU, Harvard Dataverse, V1, UNF:6:6PrvI0cwVEOuPlLVUFjdSg== [fileUNF]
Copy directly We assess the phenomenon of partisan temporal selective avoidance, or individuals dynamically altering their news consumption when news is negative toward their in-party and out-party. Using nine months of online behavioral data (27,648,770 visits) from 2,462 Americans paired with machine learning classifications, we examine whether c... |
Wiesehomeier, Nina; Düpont, Nils; Ruth-Lovell, Saskia P., 2024, "Replication Data for: Xs We Share, or: Context Similarity, Culture, and the Diffusion of Populism", https://doi.org/10.7910/DVN/LIIUJK, Harvard Dataverse, V1
Do populist ideas travel across borders? Anecdotal evidence suggests as much, yet so far we lack a systematic assessment of whether diffusion takes place, and if so, under which conditions. We argue that context similarity enables the diffusion of populism among parties as it eases the adaption of populist framing of perceived grievances into the l... |

Hilbig, Hanno; Wiedemann, Andreas, 2024, "Replication Data for: How Budget Tradeoffs Undermine Electoral Incentives to Build Public Housing", https://doi.org/10.7910/DVN/GTEBJA, Harvard Dataverse, V1
Housing shortages and rising rents have increased demands for affordable housing. In this paper, we examine whether electoral constraints can undermine local politicians' incentives to build public housing. Empirically, we draw on the full-count census of all housing built in Germany, data on 19,685 local elections between 1989 and 2011, and an ori... |
