Shigeo Hirano; Gabriel S. Lenz; Maksim Pinkovskiy; James M. Snyder, Jr., 2013, "Replication data for: Voter Learning in State Primary Elections", https://doi.org/10.7910/DVN/23454, Harvard Dataverse, V2
When voters learn about candidates' issue positions during election campaigns, does it affect how they vote? This basic question about voters remains unanswered in part because of a methodological obstacle: learning candidates' issue positions may not only influence voters' vote choice but also their issue positions. To surmount this obstacle, we a... |

Glynn, Adam N.; Sen, Maya, 2014, "Replication data for: Identifying Judicial Empathy: Does Having Daughters Cause Judges to Rule for Women's Issues?", https://doi.org/10.7910/DVN/26544, Harvard Dataverse, V2
In this article, we consider whether personal relationships can affect the way that judges decide cases. To do so, we leverage the natural experiment of a child's gender to identify the effect of having daughters on the votes of judges. Using new data on the family lives of U.S. Courts of Appeals judges, we find that, conditional on the number of c... |

Carnes, Nicholas, 2014, "Replication data for: Rethinking the Comparative Perspective on Class and Representation: Evidence from Latin America", https://doi.org/10.7910/DVN/24742, Harvard Dataverse, V2, UNF:5:1nuxt5LxUQNveyVIQ2cUjQ== [fileUNF]
Does it matter that working-class citizens are numerically underrepresented in political offices throughout the world? For decades, the conventional wisdom in comparative politics has been that it does not, that lawmakers from different classes think and behave roughly the same in office. In this paper, we argue that this conclusion is misguided. P... |

Mason, Lilliana, 2013, "Replication data for: “I Disrespectfully Agree:” The differential effects of partisan sorting on behavioral and issue polarization", https://doi.org/10.7910/DVN/XDUWWY, Harvard Dataverse, V3, UNF:5:oAbz56psxNT4c1S4NB8p8Q== [fileUNF]
Disagreements over whether polarization exists in the mass public have confounded two separate types of polarization. When behavioral polarization is separated from issue position polarization, both sides of the polarization debate can be simultaneously correct. Behavioral polarization, characterized by increased levels of partisan bias, activism a... |

Berry, Christopher; Fowler, Anthony, 2015, "Replication Data for: Cardinals or Clerics? Congressional Committees and the Distribution of Pork", https://doi.org/10.7910/DVN/29375, Harvard Dataverse, V1, UNF:5:H5MrmNbJPIlvPg0Rbsgc5A== [fileUNF]
Journalistic and academic accounts of Congress suggest that important committee positions allow members to procure more federal funds for their constituents, but existing evidence on this topic is limited in scope and has failed to distinguish the effects of committee membership from selection onto committees. We bring together decades of data on f... |

Monroe, Nathan; Jenkins, Jeffrey, 2015, "Replication Data for: On Measuring Legislative Agenda Setting Power", https://doi.org/10.7910/DVN/29243, Harvard Dataverse, V1, UNF:5:vQdxH92JVG8xvazQducPCA== [fileUNF]
We propose a typology for measuring agenda setting success and failure in a legislative context. Our typology goes beyond the most commonly used measure ("rolls") and includes the full range of agenda setting outcomes - rolls (opposing a proposal that subsequently passes), as well as "blocks" (opposing a proposal that is subsequently defeated),... |

Jennings, Will; Wlezien, Christopher, 2015, "Replication Data for: The Timeline of Elections: A Comparative Perspective", https://doi.org/10.7910/DVN/28856, Harvard Dataverse, V1, UNF:5:GOD2pp2wdWbuxdM04Xw9Og== [fileUNF]
Scholars are only beginning to understand the evolution of electoral sentiment over time. How do preferences come into focus over the electoral cycle in different countries? Do they evolve in patterned ways? Does the evolution vary across countries? This paper addresses these issues. We consider differences in political institutions and how they mi... |

Bolton, Alexander; Thrower, Sharece, 2015, "Replication Data for: Legislative Capacity and Executive Unilateralism", https://doi.org/10.7910/DVN/29242, Harvard Dataverse, V1, UNF:5:CTuIG6ZniXmduM1aetMurw== [fileUNF]
This article develops a theory of presidential unilateralism in which both ideological divergence with Congress and legislative capacity influence the president's use of executive orders. We argue that when Congress is less capable of constraining the executive, the president will issue more executive orders during periods of divided government. Co... |

Farhang, Sean; Yaver, Miranda, 2015, "Replication Data for: Divided Government and the Fragmentation of American Law", https://doi.org/10.7910/DVN/29129, Harvard Dataverse, V1, UNF:5:vSVaKabDzC+mB9m06MYXWg== [fileUNF]
We investigate institutional explanations for Congress's choice to fragment statutory frameworks for policy implementation. We argue that divided party government, which fuels legislative-executive conflict over control of the bureaucracy, motivates Congress to fragment implementation power as a strategy to enhance its control over implementation.... |

Citizens delegate the representation of their political preferences to Members of Parliament (MPs) who are supposed to represent their interests in the legislature. However, MPs are exposed to a variety of interest groups seeking to influence their voting behavior. We argue that interest groups influence how MPs cast their vote in Parliament, but t... |
