Fouirnaies, Alexander, 2024, "Replication Data for: Can Interest Groups Influence Elections? Evidence from Unions in Great Britain 1900-2019", https://doi.org/10.7910/DVN/DVRNMH, Harvard Dataverse, V1, UNF:6:2YSDksuTqgegJQB0Qo6dKA== [fileUNF]
Unions sponsor electoral candidates around the world, yet little is known about the consequences of these arrangements. I study how union sponsorship affected the electoral prospect of British parliamentary candidates throughout the 20th century. I collect new data on the universe of union-sponsored candidates. Employing a difference-in-differences... |
Malesky, Edmund; Bonifai, Niccolo; Rudra, Nita, 2024, "Economic Risk Perceptions and Willingness to Learn about Globalization: A Field Experiment with Migrants and Other Underprivileged Groups in Vietnam", https://doi.org/10.7910/DVN/361LGD, Harvard Dataverse, V1, UNF:6:NpGG7WZ7bsVetVqVIXy7aQ== [fileUNF]
Existing research maintains that socioeconomically disadvantaged individuals are reluctant to seek information that might help mitigate risk. We challenge this convention by proposing that perceptions of risks associated with global economic shocks can incentivize some disadvantaged individuals to acquire knowledge about their distributional effect... |

Simon, Miranda; Schwartz, Cassilde; Hudson, David, 2024, "Replication Data for: Can Foreign Aid Reduce the Desire to Emigrate? Evidence from a Randomized Controlled Trial", https://doi.org/10.7910/DVN/LLQ5ZL, Harvard Dataverse, V1, UNF:6:heT3uE0jbMLVdDlMCxEmMQ== [fileUNF]
Parallel to traditional immigration control policies, states send substantial amounts of foreign aid to address the root causes of migration. Using a Randomized Controlled Trial (RCT), we evaluate a representative type of "root causes" aid (RCA) project in Africa, implemented by the UN's International Organization for Migration (IOM). We find the p... |

Blair, Robert, 2024, "Replication Data for: Elites, the Aid Curse, and Chinese Development Finance: A Conjoint Survey Experiment on Elites' Aid Preferences in 141 Low- and Middle-Income Countries", https://doi.org/10.7910/DVN/ZB9RB1, Harvard Dataverse, V1, UNF:6:5pjBp9arMZwm92aXOxFDVA== [fileUNF]
Why do elites in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) favor some foreign aid projects and partners over others? Research on the "aid curse" and Chinese development finance suggests elites should prefer aid that can be easily captured, with few conditionalities, regulations, or transparency requirements. We administer a conjoint survey experimen... |
Blair, Christopher, 2024, "Replication Data for: Border Fortification and Legibility: Evidence from Afghanistan", https://doi.org/10.7910/DVN/HBSARA, Harvard Dataverse, V1, UNF:6:BirpTU3VS/jH+gVNhEqtXA== [fileUNF]
States often fortify their borders against militant threats. How do these efforts shape civilian welfare and perceptions in borderland communities? I conceptualize border fortification as a legibility-building endeavor. By bolstering state reach in areas of weak historical penetration, fortification enhances the government’s capacity for monitoring... |
Morse, Michael; Herron, Michael C.; Meredith, Marc; Smith, Daniel A.; Martinez, Michael D., 2024, "Replication Data for: Election Administration Harms and Ballot Design: A Study of Florida's 2018 United States Senate Race", https://doi.org/10.7910/DVN/3FNP7Q, Harvard Dataverse, V1
We introduce a typology of election administration harms and apply it to empirically study the consequences of ballot design. Our typology distinguishes between individual, electoral, and systemic harms. Together, it clarifies why ballot design can be a particular vulnerability in election administration. Using both ballot-level and precinct-level... |

Kogan, Vladimir; Hartney, Michael, 2024, "Replication Data for: The Politics of Teachers' Union Endorsements", https://doi.org/10.7910/DVN/GQ01SY, Harvard Dataverse, V1, UNF:6:DoRO50FEd2lyT4fa1Prqmg== [fileUNF]
School board candidates supported by local teachers' unions overwhelmingly win and we examine the causes and consequences of the ``teachers' union premium" in these elections. First, we show that union endorsement information increases voter support. Although the magnitude of this effect varies across ideological and partisan subgroups, an endorsem... |

Lang, Valentin; Kentikelenis, Alexandros; Wellner, Lukas, 2024, "Replication Data for: Biased Bureaucrats and the Policies of International Organizations", https://doi.org/10.7910/DVN/IPGCTN, Harvard Dataverse, V1, UNF:6:KYMz4vCQGObDtivNY0IJgQ== [fileUNF]
This article advances a novel argument about the policy output of international organizations (IOs) by highlighting the role of individual staffers. We approach them as purposive actors carrying heterogeneous ideological biases that materially shape their policy choices on the job. Pursuing this argument with an empirical focus on the International... |
Samet, Oren, 2024, "Replication Data for: When You Come at the King: Opposition Coalitions and Nearly Stunning Elections", https://doi.org/10.7910/DVN/MGQMTX, Harvard Dataverse, V1, UNF:6:l5juKLPNz5Mz1a5toYIORQ== [fileUNF]
Opposition coalitions under electoral authoritarianism have been associated with greater likelihood of opposition victory and democratization. I argue, however, that coalitions also entail significant downside risks with implications for longer-term prospects for democracy. Where coalitions produce strong electoral outcomes but fail to force turnov... |

Zhu, Jiangnan; Bai, Steve; Kang, Siqin; Wang, Juan; Liu, Kaixiao, 2024, "Replication Data for: Authoritarian Cue Effect of State Repression", https://doi.org/10.7910/DVN/1L325J, Harvard Dataverse, V1, UNF:6:5s1WFHH+JJHR+9Orca72GA== [fileUNF]
State repression in autocracies has long been assumed to elicit explicit or implicit disapproval from citizens. Recent studies suggest that authoritarian governments can garner support for repressive policies through active information manipulation or exploiting social cleavages. However, is it possible for citizens to support repression even witho... |
