Kanthak, Kristin; Woon, Jonathan, 2014, "Replication data for: Women Don't Run? Election Aversion and Candidate Entry", https://doi.org/10.7910/DVN/26783, Harvard Dataverse, V2
To study gender differences in candidate emergence, we conduct a laboratory experiment in which we control the incentives potential candidates face, manipulate features of the electoral environment, and measure beliefs and preferences. We find that men and women are equally likely to volunteer when the representative is chosen randomly, but that wo... |

Tesler, Michael, 2014, "Replication data for: Priming Predispositions and Changing Policy Positions", https://doi.org/10.7910/DVN/26721, Harvard Dataverse, V2, UNF:5:Ocw6d2MucSLDhlthYOwevQ== [fileUNF]
Prior research provides limited insights into when political communications prime or change citizens’ underlying opinions. This paper helps fill that void by putting forth an account of priming and opinion change. I argue that crystallized attitudes should often be primed by new information. An influx of attention to less crystalized preferences, h... |

Branton, Regina; Martinez-Ebers, Valerie; Carey, Jr, Tony E.; Matsubayashi, Tetsuya, 2014, "Replication data for: Social Protest and Policy Attitudes: The Case of the 2006 Immigrant Rallies", https://doi.org/10.7910/DVN/27113, Harvard Dataverse, V2, UNF:5:R9ub6AJ26hS8/iDnxMwZUg== [fileUNF]
Do protests sway public opinion? If so, why and how? To address these questions we examine the impact of the 2006 immigration protests on immigration policy preferences. We use the 2006 Latino National Survey coupled with protest data to examine if temporal and spatial exposure to the protests are associated with policy preferences. Our findings le... |

Flavin, Patrick; Hartney, Michael, 2014, "Replication data for: When Government Subsidizes Its Own: Collective Bargaining Laws as Agents of Political Mobilization", https://doi.org/10.7910/DVN/26936, Harvard Dataverse, V2
Government policies can activate a political constituency not only by providing material resources to, or altering the interpretive experiences of, individual citizens, but also by directly subsidizing established interest groups. We argue that state laws mandating collective bargaining for public employees provided organizational subsidies to publ... |

Selin, Jennifer, 2014, "Replication data for: What Makes An Agency Independent", https://doi.org/10.7910/DVN/26943, Harvard Dataverse, V2
The responsiveness of government agencies to elected officials is a central question in democratic governance. A key source of variation in responsiveness is agency structure. Yet scholars often view agencies as falling into broad structural categories (e.g. cabinet departments or independent commissions) or fixate on some features of design (e.g.... |

Grose, Christian; Malhotra, Neil; Van Houweling, Rob, 2014, "Replication data for: Explaining Explanations: How Legislators Explain their Policy Positions and How Citizens React", https://doi.org/10.7910/DVN/26714, Harvard Dataverse, V2, UNF:5:EqkeM4sE8zI1uqIP3RD7gg== [fileUNF]
Legislators claim that how they explain their votes matters as much as or more than the roll calls themselves. However, few studies have systematically examined legislators' explanations and citizen attitudes in response to these explanations. We theorize that legislators strategically tailor explanations to constituents in order to compensate for... |

Westwood, Sean; Iyengar, Shanto, 2014, "Replication data for: Fear and Loathing Across Party Lines: New Evidence on Group Polarization", https://doi.org/10.7910/DVN/26662, Harvard Dataverse, V2
When defined in terms of social identity and affect toward co-partisans and opposing partisans, the polarization of the American electorate has dramatically increased. We document the scope and consequences of affective polarization of partisans using implicit, explicit and behavioral indicators. Our evidence demonstrates that hostile feelings for... |

Hare, Christopher; Armstrong, David A., II; Bakker, Ryan; Carroll, Royce; Poole, Keith T., 2014, "Replication data for: Using Bayesian Aldrich-McKelvey Scaling to Study Citizens' Ideological Preferences and Perceptions", https://doi.org/10.7910/DVN/26638, Harvard Dataverse, V2
Aldrich-McKelvey scaling is a powerful method that corrects for differential-item functioning (DIF) in estimating the positions of political stimuli (e.g., parties and candidates) and survey respondents along a latent policy dimension from issue scale data. DIF arises when respondents interpret issue scales (like the standard liberal-conservative s... |

Nyhan, Brendan; Montgomery, 2014, "Replication data for: Connecting the Candidates: Consultant Networks and the Diffusion of Campaign Strategy in American Congressional Elections", https://doi.org/10.7910/DVN/26467, Harvard Dataverse, V2
Modern American political campaigns are typically conceptualized as "candidate-centered" and treated as conditionally independent in quantitative analyses. In reality, however, these campaigns are linked by professional consulting firms, who are important agents of campaign strategy diffusion within the extended party networks of the contemporary e... |

Rosas, Guillermo; Shomer, Yael; Haptonstahl, Stephen, 2014, "Replication data for: No News is News: Non-Ignorable Non-Response in Roll-Call Data Analysis", https://doi.org/10.7910/DVN/26457, Harvard Dataverse, V2, UNF:5://ogwqI0HkpaUNvEyiB+tA== [fileUNF]
Roll-call votes are widely employed to infer the ideological proclivities of legislators. However, many roll-call matrices are characterized by high levels of non-response. Under many circumstances, non-response cannot be assumed to be ignorable. We examine the consequences of violating the ignorability assumption that underlies current methods of... |
