Replication data for: How Aspiration to Office Conditions the Impact of Government Participation on Party Platform Change Mar 24, 2015 Schumacher, Gijs; van de Wardt, Marc; Vis, Barbara; Klitgaard, Michael Baggesen, 2014, "Replication data for: How Aspiration to Office Conditions the Impact of Government Participation on Party Platform Change", https://doi.org/10.7910/DVN/27662, Harvard Dataverse, V2, UNF:5:THb8yHpIlIqsJ714HNQYSA== [fileUNF] Considerable ambiguity exists regarding the effect of government/opposition status on party platform change. Existing theories’ predict that: (1) it has no effect, (2) opposition parties change more, (3) opposition parties change more after several spells in opposition and (4) parties’ responses vary because of different goal orientations. We propo...
Replication data for: Institutional Characteristics and Regime Survival: Why Are Semi-Democracies Less Durable Than Autocracies and Democracies? Mar 24, 2015 Knutsen, Carl Henrik; Nygaard, Haavard Mokleiv, 2014, "Replication data for: Institutional Characteristics and Regime Survival: Why Are Semi-Democracies Less Durable Than Autocracies and Democracies?", https://doi.org/10.7910/DVN/27371, Harvard Dataverse, V2 Previous studies report that semi-democratic regimes are less durable than both democracies and autocracies. Still, mixing democratic and autocratic characteristics need not destabilize regimes, as three highly plausible alternative explanations of this correlation remain unaccounted for: i) semi-democracies emerge under conditions of political ins...
Replication data for: Everything to Everyone: The Electoral Consequences of Broad Policy Appeals in Europe Mar 24, 2015 Zeynep Somer-Topcu, 2014, "Replication data for: Everything to Everyone: The Electoral Consequences of Broad Policy Appeals in Europe", https://doi.org/10.7910/DVN/27217, Harvard Dataverse, V2, UNF:5:Yfh6fG7U6i2ewUSsVOvyjA== [fileUNF] Parties often tailor their campaign message differently to different groups of voters with the goal of appealing to a broader electorate with diverse preferences and thereby winning their votes. I argue that the strategy helps a party win votes if it can convince diverse groups of voters that the party is ideologically closer to their preferred pos...
Replication data for: Candidates or Districts? Reevaluating the Role of Race in Voter Turnout Mar 24, 2015 Bernard L. Fraga, 2014, "Replication data for: Candidates or Districts? Reevaluating the Role of Race in Voter Turnout", https://doi.org/10.7910/DVN/27624, Harvard Dataverse, V2 Leading theories of race and participation posit that minority voters are mobilized by co-ethnic candidates. However, past studies are unable to disentangle candidate effects from factors associated with the places from which candidates emerge. I reevaluate the links between candidate race, district composition, and turnout by leveraging a nationwi...
Replication data for: Competency Costs in Foreign Affairs: Presidential Performance in International Conflicts and Domestic Legislative Success, 1953-2001 Mar 24, 2015 Gelpi, Christopher; Grieco, Joseph, 2014, "Replication data for: Competency Costs in Foreign Affairs: Presidential Performance in International Conflicts and Domestic Legislative Success, 1953-2001", https://doi.org/10.7910/DVN/27499, Harvard Dataverse, V2 Numerous prominent theories have relied on the concept of "audience costs" as a central causal mechanism in their arguments about international conflict, but scholars have had greater difficulty in demonstrating the efficacy and even the existence of such costs outside the bounds of game theory and the political psychology laboratory. We suggest th...
Replication data for: The Influence of News Media on Political Elites: Investigating Strategic Responsiveness in Congress Mar 24, 2015 Kevin Arceneaux; Martin Johnson; Rene Lindstadt; Ryan J. Vander Wielen, 2014, "Replication data for: The Influence of News Media on Political Elites: Investigating Strategic Responsiveness in Congress", https://doi.org/10.7910/DVN/27597, Harvard Dataverse, V2, UNF:5:Nim1IEwWhOCMLpZMQ9iR1g== [fileUNF] News media play a central role in democratic politics, yet we know little about how media affect the behavior of policy makers. To understand the conditions under which news media influence political elites, we advance a theory of strategic responsiveness, which contends that elected representatives are more likely to heed their constituents' prefe...

Replication data for: The Achilles Heel of Plurality Systems: Geography and Representation in Multi-Party Democracies Mar 24, 2015 Calvo, Ernesto; Rodden, Jonathan, 2014, "Replication data for: The Achilles Heel of Plurality Systems: Geography and Representation in Multi-Party Democracies", https://doi.org/10.7910/DVN/27325, Harvard Dataverse, V2, UNF:5:2KtNbCtQvBWc3PRnSqfgVw== [fileUNF] Building on the unfinished research program of Gudgin and Taylor (1979), we analytically derive the linkage between a party’s territorial distribution of support and the basic features of its vote-seat curve.

Replication data for: The Effect of Fact-Checking on Elites: A Field Experiment on U.S. State Legislators Mar 23, 2015 Nyhan, Brendan; Reifler, Jason, 2014, "Replication data for: The Effect of Fact-Checking on Elites: A Field Experiment on U.S. State Legislators", https://doi.org/10.7910/DVN/26867, Harvard Dataverse, V2 Does external monitoring improve democratic performance? Fact-checking has come to play an increasingly important role in political coverage in the United States, but some research suggests it may be ineffective at reducing public misperceptions about controversial issues. However, fact-checking might instead help improve political discourse by inc...
Replication data for: Into the Words: Using Statutory Text to Explore the Impact of Federal Courts on State Policy Diffusion Mar 23, 2015 Hinkle, Rachael K., 2014, "Replication data for: Into the Words: Using Statutory Text to Explore the Impact of Federal Courts on State Policy Diffusion", https://doi.org/10.7910/DVN/27063, Harvard Dataverse, V2 I examine the impact federal appellate courts have on state policy diffusion through the use of computational text analysis. Using a dyadic framework, I model the impact courts have on the decision to adopt a policy and, if adopted, how much text to borrow directly from another state's preexisting law. A court decision ruling a statute unconstituti...
