Fortunato, David; Juhl, Sebastian; Williams, Laron K, 2024, "The Economic Roots of Cross-National Similarity in Voter Preferences", https://doi.org/10.7910/DVN/2KAQO1, Harvard Dataverse, V1, UNF:6:JodAzd2DIyRbyPXmR5f90w== [fileUNF]
We argue that economic and political integration lead voters' political preferences toward cross-national convergence. Analyzing data on voter preferences across 30 European democracies from 1976 to 2022, we measure the similarity of preference distributions across each pair of state-years, documenting an average increase in similarity over time. W... |

Schafer, Jerome, 2024, "Policy Feedback and Voter Turnout: Evidence from the Finnish Basic Income Experiment", https://doi.org/10.7910/DVN/RL5N9Y, Harvard Dataverse, V1, UNF:6:ivB4wRXTXXeesGlLpAnXbg== [fileUNF]
In many democracies, unemployed and low-income citizens are less willing to vote. Can social policies weaken the link between income and turnout? We study policy feedback leveraging a unique experiment in Finland, which randomly assigned a sizable group of unemployed to receiving an unconditional basic income for two years (2017-19). Combining indi... |
Colner, Jonathan, 2024, "Replication Data for: Running Towards Rankings: Ranked Choice Voting's Impact on Candidate Entry and Descriptive Representation", https://doi.org/10.7910/DVN/HQQJUK, Harvard Dataverse, V1
Does the implementation of a Ranked Choice Voting System increase the number, diversity, and quality of candidates competing in local elections? Using original data from 273 cities across three decades and employing a pre-registered difference-in-differences design with matching, I find that the size of the candidate pool increases following implem... |

Nathan, Noah, 2024, "Replication Data for: Do Grids Demobilize? How Street Networks, Social Networks, and Political Networks Intersect", https://doi.org/10.7910/DVN/9FUPQQ, Harvard Dataverse, V1
Amid rapid urbanization in the developing world, there is growing interest in the effects of urban context on political behavior. An underexplored element of urban context is the built environment itself – the physical architecture and design of urban space – which can structure how residents interact both with each other and with the state. Drawin... |

Zonszein, Stephanie, 2024, "Replication Data for: Turn On, Tune In, Turn Out: Ethnic Radio and Immigrants' Political Engagement", https://doi.org/10.7910/DVN/PGGT4N, Harvard Dataverse, V1, UNF:6:NpjgA2xkRxzSOcK9hpYP8A== [fileUNF]
Does the ethnic media promote the political engagement of minority ethnic immigrants? This is a salient question in Western democracies, where the political incorporation of immigrants is a continuous challenge. Prevailing accounts place the media as a primary cause of growing public disengagement. In contrast, this article argues that the entry of... |

Shelef, Nadav; vanderWilden, Ethan, 2024, "Replication Data for: Re-evaluating the impact of collective victimhood on conflict attitudes: Results from a natural experiment, a survey experiment, and panel study using Israel’s Holocaust Memorial Day", https://doi.org/10.7910/DVN/SKKYFB, Harvard Dataverse, V1, UNF:6:DpMwszkLERS73hja3oD0JQ== [fileUNF]
A significant observational literature identifies a link between collective victimhood and conflict-enhancing attitudes, though results from experimental studies increasing victimhood’s salience vary. This article thus revisits this question in two studies in a context in which increased salience is especially likely to shift attitudes. Study 1 exp... |
Baturo, Alexander; Khokhlov, Nikita; Tolstrup, Jakob, 2024, "Replication Data for "Playing the Sycophant Card: The Logic and Consequences of Professing Loyalty to the Autocrat"", https://doi.org/10.7910/DVN/BZA22S, Harvard Dataverse, V1, UNF:6:YOTyMLM1txUWi/slmA2pyQ== [fileUNF]
Despite the centrality of the loyalty-competence framework in research on authoritarian politics, scholars have only focused on material aspects of what elites do in their service to the dictator. Yet non-material aspects such as sycophantically praising the autocrat in speech—a common, everyday practice under authoritarianism, have been ignored. W... |

Gohdes, Anita; Steinert-Threlkeld, Zachary, 2024, "Replication Data for: Civilian Behavior on Social Media During Civil War", https://doi.org/10.7910/DVN/26P4MC, Harvard Dataverse, V1, UNF:6:7gkuY6ey3DXtE27Xw3vcFA== [fileUNF]
Recent research emphasizes social media’s potential for citizens to express shared grievances. In active conflict, however, social media posts indicating political loyalties can pose severe risks to civilians. We develop a theory that explains how civilians modify their online behavior as part of efforts to improve their security during conflict. A... |

Sperber, Elizabeth; McClendon, Gwyneth H.; Kaaba, O'Brien, 2024, "Replication Data for: Comparing Religious and Secular Interventions to Increase Young Adult Political Participation: Evidence from WhatsApp-Based Civic Education Courses in Zambia", https://doi.org/10.7910/DVN/UBU601, Harvard Dataverse, V1, UNF:6:7LHYK4t11dvbYV2V4KVqYg== [fileUNF]
It is often assumed that, in highly religious environments, religious messages that promote political participation will more effectively influence behavior than non-religious messages with the same goal. To our knowledge, however, this assumption remains untested. We present results from a community-collaborative study implemented prior to electio... |

Bøggild, Troels; Jensen, Carsten, 2024, "When Politicians Behave Badly: Political, Democratic, and Social Consequences of Political Incivility", https://doi.org/10.7910/DVN/AJLO8J, Harvard Dataverse, V1, UNF:6:015arRu8oMP+WEK3QJXdlg== [fileUNF]
Many citizens find politics too uncivil, and incivility is often considered a source of political disaffection. However, research studying these effects almost exclusively relies on survey experiments, which yield contrasting results depending on design choices and do not study downstream consequences for satisfaction with democracy and compliance... |
