Erin Baggott, Volha Charnysh, 2011, "Replication data for: The Impact of Politically Motivated Foreign Aid: What is the Evidence?", https://doi.org/10.7910/DVN/0F5BC7, Harvard Dataverse, V1
This paper contributes to the literature on aid and politico-economic development. Several articles have suggested that foreign aid harms growth and political freedoms in recipient countries, particularly when aid is politically motivated. The impact of foreign aid on the United Nations Security Council temporary members is a prime test case, as it... |

Elizabeth; Erin, 2011, "Replication data for: Beyond Prices: The Drivers of Farmer Loan Default", https://doi.org/10.7910/DVN/ATNQB3, Harvard Dataverse, V1
Farmers in developing countries are highly vulnerable to exogenous ecological and financial shocks; as a result, policy makers and researchers have become increasingly interested in developing policies and tools that will improve financial outcomes for smallholder farmers. One such instrument is a price-indexed indemnity loan, which forgives the fa... |

Leslie Finger; Adela Soliz, 2011, "Replication data for: “But Everybody’s Doing It!” The Power of Peer Effects in High Peer Density Areas", https://doi.org/10.7910/DVN/MRJ8OM, Harvard Dataverse, V1
Mexico’s conditional cash transfer program (PROGRESA) incentivized school en- rollment for poor families in selected villages beginning in 1997. Poor children who enrolled in school as a result of the incentive influenced their wealthier peers to also enroll. We use a two-stage least squares instrumental variables model to identify these peer effec... |

Dan Altman and Michele Margolis, 2011, "Replication data for: Do Treaties Matter? Exploiting Domestic Partisan Shifts to Separate Treaty Effects from Selection Effects", https://doi.org/10.7910/DVN/PKNJQQ, Harvard Dataverse, V1, UNF:5:iy/O4GOnXebsXLnAgtIBvg== [fileUNF]
The question of whether treaties matter has long resisted an empirical verdict. A pattern of compliance by treaty signatories is what one would expect to see if treaties constrain state behavior or if states merely sign the treaties with which they would comply anyway. The two possibilities share the same observable implication. To resolve this pro... |

Justin Grimmer, 2010, "Replication data for: Representational Style: The Central Role of Communication in Representation", https://doi.org/10.7910/DVN/RI3BT4, Harvard Dataverse, V1
Quantitative studies define representation through roll call votes, but roll call votes alone are insufficient to describe a legislator's \emph{representational style}: how legislators respond, anticipate, and shape their constituents' preferences. Representational style is composed of three elements: how legislators invest their time and resources... |

Lee, Matthew; Zuzul, Tiona, 2010, "A Multi-Level Investigation of Corporate Political Influence", https://doi.org/10.7910/DVN/FMLHTQ, Harvard Dataverse, V1
Studies of inter-corporate influence have focused on structural, rather than relational, modes of organizational interaction. That is, inter-corporate influence is assumed to be a function of relationships between firms’ industries rather than of dyadic relationships between the firms themselves. Our study critiques and expands on one such stream o... |
Beiting Cheng and Meryl Federman, 2010, "Replication data for: Alternative Energy Stock Performance", https://doi.org/10.7910/DVN/5CICYW, Harvard Dataverse, V1
In 2007, Irene Henriques and Perry Sadorsky wrote "Oil prices and the stock prices of alternative energy companies," a paper examining the relative importance of oil prices and technology stock performance when determining the performance of alternative energy companies. Using a vector autoregression model, they showed that oil prices were not all-... |
Evann Smith; Grant Gordon, 2010, "Re-examining Civil War: Ethnicity, Horizontal Inequality, and Space", https://doi.org/10.7910/DVN/LGQTJN, Harvard Dataverse, V1
Ma jor literature on conflict claims that ethnicity and inequality don’t matter in predicting civil war onset. This article uses spatial data to construct new variables for horizontal inequality and asserts that viewed through this lens, ethnicity matters. We forward the argument that exclusion from central forms of power and discrimination increase... |

Dong Ju Lee; Jonghyuk Lee, 2010, "Replication data for: "Does Partisanship Really Matter for the Provision of Welfare Policies?"", https://doi.org/10.7910/DVN/KRPR8C, Harvard Dataverse, V1, UNF:5:dI8qi49P0uIB9pLfXA3RCw== [fileUNF]
This paper examines and applies of more advanced modeling methods for the time-series-cross-sectional data by replicating the article by Huo et al. (2008). We make a claim that the original article’s causal inference is problematic without taking consideration of country-level heterogeneity, even though we agree their defense of not using country d... |

Sundeep Iyer; Nino Malekovic; Miguel Solano, 2010, "Judicial Behavior Under (Minimal) Political Constraints: A Response to Carrubba, Gabel and Hankla (2008)", https://doi.org/10.7910/DVN/9EPJON, Harvard Dataverse, V1, UNF:5:qelryHMwh8fGWeZhmxV7WQ== [fileUNF]
This paper evaluates the extent to which threats of noncompliance and override influence the rulings made by the ECJ. Using the same dataset as Carrubba, Gabel and Hankla (2008) and correcting for problems with model dependence in their results, we find that the court is generally not responsive to the observations filed by member states. While the... |
