Black, Ryan; Owens, Ryan, 2014, "Replication data for: Courting the President: How Circuit Court Judges Alter Their Behavior for Promotion to the Supreme Court", https://doi.org/10.7910/DVN/25302, Harvard Dataverse, V2, UNF:5:g9Was2r2QOwpvmmbXP4Kzw== [fileUNF]
We examine whether circuit court judges sacrifice policy purity for career goals. We compare the behavior of contender judges, those most likely to be elevated to the Supreme Court, during vacancy periods with their behavior out- side vacancy periods. We also examine the behavior of non-contender judges during those same times. The data show that d... |
Thomas, Jakana L., 2014, "Replication data for: Rewarding Bad Behavior: How Governments Respond to Terrorism in Civil War", https://doi.org/10.7910/DVN/24506, Harvard Dataverse, V2, UNF:5:9DNBTm6PS0w7KXKrosnqhQ== [fileUNF]
Dissident groups often use terrorism as a means to achieve their political aims. To determine whether the tactic is effective, recent studies examine whether organizations using terrorism gain concessions on their demands and find, most often, they do not. These studies, however, overlook other important markers of success, specifically whether gro... |

Barth, Erling; Finseraas, Henning; Moene, Karl O., 2014, "Replication data for: Political Reinforcement: How Rising Inequality Curbs Manifested Welfare Generosity", https://doi.org/10.7910/DVN/24975, Harvard Dataverse, V2
We propose a political reinforcement hypothesis, suggesting that rising inequality moves party politics on welfare state issues to the right, strengthening rather than modifying the impact of inequality. We model policy platforms by incorporating ideology and opportunism of party members, and interests and sympathies of voters. If welfare spending... |
Stanig, Piero, 2013, "Replication data for: Regulation of Speech and Media Coverage of Corruption: An Empirical Analysis of the Mexican Press", https://doi.org/10.7910/DVN/23958, Harvard Dataverse, V2, UNF:5:0sblROfPquPnFeBStdhHeQ== [fileUNF]
Restrictions to media freedom, in the form of repressive defamation legislation, are thought to affect the amount of information about corruption that the media report. Exploiting variation in regulation of speech across states in a federal country, Mexico, and using a novel dataset based on content analysis of the local press, I estimate the effec... |

Eggers, Andrew C.; Fowler, Anthony; Hainmueller, Jens; Hall, Andrew B.; Snyder, James M. Jr., 2014, "Replication data for: On The Validity Of The Regression Discontinuity Design For Estimating Electoral Effects: New Evidence From Over 40,000 Close Races", https://doi.org/10.7910/DVN/24937, Harvard Dataverse, V2, UNF:5:djXFvenPNMxp/4UKcXiT1w== [fileUNF]
The regression discontinuity (RD) design is a valuable tool for identifying electoral effects, but this design is only effective when relevant actors do not have precise control over election results. Several recent papers contend that such precise control is possible in large elections, pointing out that the incumbent party is more likely to win v... |
Vernby, Kåre, 2012, "Replication data for: Inclusion and Public Policy: Evidence from Sweden's Introduction of Noncitizen Suffrage", https://doi.org/10.7910/DVN/O7DDIN, Harvard Dataverse, V2, UNF:5:3OytU90oFqz9yeae/hqK8w== [fileUNF]
The largest disenfranchised group in modern democracies is international migrants who lack citizenship of their country of residence. Despite that noncitizen suffrage has been introduced in some countries, and has been the subject of vigorous public debate in many others, there have been no systematic attempts to investigate its policy consequences... |

Dawes, Christopher; Cesarini, David; Fowler, James H.; Johannesson, Magnus; Magnusson, Patrik K. E.; Oskarsson, Sven, 2013, "Replication data for: The Relationship Between Genes, Psychological Traits, and Political Participation", https://doi.org/10.7910/DVN/23972, Harvard Dataverse, V2
Recent research demonstrates that a wide range of political attitudes, beliefs, and behaviors can be explained in part by genetic variation. However, these studies have not yet identified the mechanisms that generate such a relationship. Some scholars have speculated that psychological traits mediate the relationship between genes and political par... |

Hollibaugh, Gary; Horton, Gabriel; Lewis, David, 2013, "Replication data for: Presidents and Patronage", https://doi.org/10.7910/DVN/23302, Harvard Dataverse, V2
To what extent do presidents select appointees based upon campaign experience and connections? The answer to this question has important implications for our understanding of presidential management and political leadership. This paper presents a theory explaining where presidents place different types of appointees and why, focusing on differences... |

Desmarais, Bruce, 2014, "Replication data for: The Fates of Challengers in US House Elections: The Role of Extended Party Networks in Supporting Candidates and Shaping Electoral Outcomes", https://doi.org/10.7910/DVN/24220, Harvard Dataverse, V2, UNF:5:w9cZmQ9JQcQevFETJkcI5g== [fileUNF]
Extended party network (EPN) theory characterizes political parties in the US as dynamic networks of interest groups that collaboratively support favored candidates for office. Electoral predictions derived from EPN theory have yet to be tested on a large sample of races. We operationalize EPNs in the context of organized interest contributions to... |

Dickson, Eric S.; Gordon, Sanford C.; Huber, Gregory A., 2014, "Replication data for: Institutional Sources of Legitimate Authority", https://doi.org/10.7910/DVN/24797, Harvard Dataverse, V2
Unelected officials with coercive powers (e.g., police, prosecutors, bureaucrats) vary markedly in the extent to which citizens view their actions as legitimate. We explore the institutional determinants of legitimate authority in the context of a public goods laboratory experiment. In the experiment, an ``authority'' can target one ``citizen'' for... |
