Davis, Nicholas T.; Hitt, Matthew P., 2025, "Replication Data for: Partisan sorting, fatalism, and Supreme Court legitimacy", https://doi.org/10.7910/DVN/FIGDU9, Harvard Dataverse, V1, UNF:6:h5vgqA6ZEhyLX28u/mwl4A== [fileUNF]
This paper studies the contemporary contours of Supreme Court legitimacy. First, we construct a dataset of surveys from 2012-2024 to show that diffuse support now diverges among partisans; we then analyze an original, six-wave panel survey that documents the stability of this partisan sorting. Second, we unpack the direct and indirect effects of pa... |

Jost, Tyler; Mattingly, Daniel, 2025, "Networks of Coercion: Military Ties and Civilian Leadership Challenges in China", https://doi.org/10.7910/DVN/8MSBXV, Harvard Dataverse, V1, UNF:6:94FP6nybGi5013nW6lFnCA== [fileUNF]
Abstract: Civilian-led coups are one of the most common routes to losing power in autocracies. How do authoritarian leaders secure themselves from civilian leadership challenges? We argue that autocrats differentiate civilian rivals in part by their social ties to the military. To reduce the threat of coup, leaders buy off civilians with strong mil... |
Christopher Carter; Daniel W. Gingerich, 2025, "Replication Data for: National Identity after Conquest", https://doi.org/10.7910/DVN/BLVM1N, Harvard Dataverse, V1, UNF:6:1MwkP4S8Qp46eEadjetiBg== [fileUNF]
Conquering powers routinely adopt state-directed nationalization projects that seek to make the boundaries of the nation coterminous with the (newly expanded) boundaries of the state. To this end, they implement policies that elevate the economic status of individuals who embrace the occupier's national identity and discriminate against those who d... |

Peterson, Erik; Darr, Joshua P.; Allamong, Maxwell B.; Henderson, Michael, 2025, "Replication Data for: "Can Americans' Trust in Local News Be Trusted? The Emergence, Sources and Implications of the Local News Trust Advantage"", https://doi.org/10.7910/DVN/PNYFKH, Harvard Dataverse, V1, UNF:6:L9mABJanKzEoM5Z5kr3Jdw== [fileUNF]
Despite eroding consensus about credible political news sources, much of the public still trusts local media. We assess the emergence, sources and implications of the trust advantage local news holds over national media. We argue the public now uses a news outlet's local orientation as a shortcut to assess its credibility. In survey experiments, we... |

Weitzel, Daniel; John Gerring; Daniel Pemstein; Svend-Erik Skaaning, 2025, "Replication Data for: Measuring Electoral Democracy with Observables", https://doi.org/10.7910/DVN/CWVQTZ, Harvard Dataverse, V1, UNF:6:0tN0xUsTYDAocJ7Z1kcEEA== [fileUNF]
Most crossnational indices of democracy rely centrally on coder judgments, which are susceptible to personal bias and error, and also require expensive and time-consuming coding by experts. The few measures based exclusively on observable indicators are either dichotomous or rely on a few rather crude proxies. This project lays out an approach to m... |
Weaver, Michael; Nellis, Gareth; Baral, Siddhartha, 2025, "Replication Data for: The Electoral Consequences of Mass Religious Events: India's Kumbh Mela", https://doi.org/10.7910/DVN/J8BBJB, Harvard Dataverse, V1
Mass ritualized gatherings like pilgrimages are central to religious practice globally. Do they generate votes for religious parties? The events may heighten religiosity, enlarging support for parties seen as owning religious policy issues. Such parties might also co-opt the events to organize and campaign. We evaluate the electoral impact of India... |

Wilke, Anna M, 2025, "Replication Data for: How the State Discourages Vigilantism - Evidence from a Field Experiment in South Africa", https://doi.org/10.7910/DVN/LTUYNA, Harvard Dataverse, V1
Mob vigilantism - the punishment of criminal suspects by groups of citizens - is widespread throughout the developing world. This paper sheds light on the relation- ship between state capacity and citizens’ choice between reliance on the state and vigilantism. I implemented a field experiment in South Africa that randomly varies the capacity of pol... |

Szakonyi, David, 2025, "Replication Data for: Opposition Rule under Autocracy: Evidence from Russia", https://doi.org/10.7910/DVN/RX4AS5, Harvard Dataverse, V1, UNF:6:2sJUtX80fb79JVe5zKy7wQ== [fileUNF]
How does the opposition govern under autocracy? Most authoritarian regimes tolerate some degree of internal opposition, allowing it to contest and even take power. Yet we know little about how such power-sharing dynamics affect governance. In this paper, I exploit a unique instance where the opposition won control of political institutions in a pro... |

Daniel L. Tavana, 2025, "Replication Data for: Endogenous Opposition: Identity and Ideology in Kuwaiti Electoral Politics", https://doi.org/10.7910/DVN/UPJ2BE, Harvard Dataverse, V1
How do opposition elites succeed in authoritarian elections? Existing theories of authoritarian politics suggest a pivotal role for elections in enhancing the survival of incumbent dictators. Yet, in many contexts, opposition elites attract considerable support and constrain the policymaking authorities of these dictators. This article presents a t... |

Magistro, Beatrice; Borwein, Sophie; Alvarez, R. Michael; Bonikowski, Bart; Loewen, Peter, 2025, "Replication Data for: Attitudes Toward Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Globalization: Common Microfoundations and Political Implications", https://doi.org/10.7910/DVN/XHRC8Y, Harvard Dataverse, V1, UNF:6:uR6zWkX+5Di8/n3EG1mIXw== [fileUNF]
Advances in artificial intelligence (AI) are reshaping labor markets and sparking political debates. Like economic globalization, AI developments promise benefits, including job creation and lower prices, but also costs such as job displacement, raising crucial questions about public perceptions. Will AI, like globalization, challenge existing para... |
