Holland, Alisha, 2014, "Replication data for: The Distributive Politics of Enforcement", https://doi.org/10.7910/DVN/24859, Harvard Dataverse, V2, UNF:5:Z9FYtN/LeCktprosg6acVQ== [fileUNF]
Why do some politicians tolerate the violation of the law? In contexts where the poor are the primary violators of property laws, I argue that the answer lies in the electoral costs of enforcement: enforcement can decrease support from poor voters even while it generates support among nonpoor voters. Using an original dataset on unlicensed street v... |

Hainmueller, Jens, 2014, "Replication data for: Comparative Politics and the Synthetic Control Method", https://doi.org/10.7910/DVN/24714, Harvard Dataverse, V2, UNF:5:AtEF45hDnFLetMIiv9tjpQ== [fileUNF]
In recent years a widespread consensus has emerged about the necessity of establishing bridges between quantitative and qualitative approaches to empirical research in political science. In this article, we discuss the use of the synthetic control method as a way to bridge the quantitative/qualitative divide in comparative politics. The synthetic c... |

McDermott, Rose; Tingley, Dustin; Hatemi, Peter, 2014, "Replication data for: Assortative Mating on Ideology Could Operate Through Olfactory Cues", https://doi.org/10.7910/DVN/24789, Harvard Dataverse, V3, UNF:5:gDcpbTNDaiHwWJS7WdGhqg== [fileUNF]
Mates assort on political attitudes more than any other social, behavioral, or physical trait, besides religion. Yet the process by which ideologically similar mates end up together remains ambiguous. Mates do not appear to consciously select one another based on ideology, nor does similarity result from convergence. Recently, several lines of inqu... |

Martin, Lanny W.; Vanberg, Georg, 2014, "Replication data for: Parties and Policymaking in Multiparty Governments: The Legislative Median, Ministerial Autonomy, and the Coalition Compromise", https://doi.org/10.7910/DVN/24128, Harvard Dataverse, V2, UNF:5:gTgNP98P94Pblv6qE79j0A== [fileUNF]
In parliamentary democracies, governments are typically composed of multiple political parties working together in a coalition. Such governments must confront a fundamental challenge in policymaking---the preferences of coalition parties often diverge significantly, but the government can adopt only one common policy on any specific issue. This fac... |

Eggers, Andrew; Spirling, Arthur, 2013, "Replication data for: Ministerial Responsiveness in Westminster Systems: Institutional Choices and House of Commons Debate, 1832--1915", https://doi.org/10.7910/DVN/23063, Harvard Dataverse, V2, UNF:5:/41kx2b3e3KiNrwSoGHoRQ== [fileUNF]
In Westminster systems, governments enjoy strong agenda-setting powers but are accountable to an inquisitorial opposition. This paper provides insights into the origins of this arrangement from the British House of Commons, drawing primarily on a new dataset of half-a-million parliamentary speeches. We show that, according to a novel measure we dev... |

James Adams; Lawrence Ezrow; Zeynep Somer-Topcu, 2014, "Replication data for: Do Voters Respond to Party Manifestos or to a Wider Information Environment?", https://doi.org/10.7910/DVN/24591, Harvard Dataverse, V2, UNF:5:5i0Mbsu/cOKa1nv0ynvmFQ== [fileUNF]
Recent studies analyze how citizens update their perceptions of parties' Left-Right positions in response to new political information. We extend this research to consider the issue of European integration, and we report theoretical and empirical analyses that citizens do not update their perceptions of parties' positions in response to election ma... |

Coleman, Eric A.; Mwangi, Esther, 2014, "Replication data for: Conflict, Cooperation, and Institutional Change on the Commons", https://doi.org/10.7910/DVN/25531, Harvard Dataverse, V2
Rational choice scholarship posits two principal theories to explain why political institutions emerge and change: cooperation theory and conflict theory. We evaluate cooperation theory and conflict theory to explain the emergence of common property institutions among a group of Maasai pastoralists in southwestern Kenya. Our empirical results show... |
Enns, Peter K., 2014, "Replication data for: The Public's Increasing Punitiveness and Its Influence on Mass Incarceration in the United States", https://doi.org/10.7910/DVN/24827, Harvard Dataverse, V2, UNF:5:N/lCR5o9Fr0e18TCl4X0wA== [fileUNF]
Following more than 30 years of rising incarceration rates, the United States now imprisons a higher proportion of its population than any country in the world. Building on theories of representation and organized interest group behavior, this article argues that an increasingly punitive public has been a primary reason for this prolific expansion.... |

Whitten, Guy; Williams, Laron, 2014, "Replication data for: Don't Stand So Close to Me: Spatial Contagion Effects and Party Competition", https://doi.org/10.7910/DVN/24914, Harvard Dataverse, V2, UNF:5:EOunqMKnMNcxHVb8AbXngg== [fileUNF]
In this paper, we bring together elements from the literature on economic voting and spatial voting to gain theoretical leverage on the combined role of clarity of responsibility, party policy positions, and economic performance in elections. Building on evidence of voter knowledge, we develop a theory of spatial contagion effects to explain how fa... |

Hainmueller, Jens, 2014, "Replication data for: The Hidden American Immigration Consensus: A Conjoint Analysis of Attitudes toward Immigrants", https://doi.org/10.7910/DVN/25505, Harvard Dataverse, V2, UNF:5:tevlw4dhO6Evym2pA6vSZg== [fileUNF]
Many studies have examined Americans' immigration attitudes. Yet prior research frequently confounds multiple questions, including which immigrants to admit and how many to admit. To isolate attitudes on the former question, we use a conjoint experiment which simultaneously tests the influence of nine immigrant attributes in generating support for... |
