Molly Roberts and Megan Westrum, 2010, "Replication for: The Politics of Foreign Direct Investment into Developing Countries", https://doi.org/10.7910/DVN/3FXS5K, Harvard Dataverse, V1
Our paper focuses on methods to estimate causal effects in time series cross sectional data when the variables of interest exhibit a strong upward trend over time. We use Büthe and Milner (2008)'s analysis of the political effects of preferential trade agreements (PTAs) on foreign direct investment (FDI) flows as an example of the problems that tre... |

Amanda Pinkston; Shelby Grossman, 2010, "Replication data for: Soldiers and Scholars: Evaluating the Effects of Education on Joining the Fight in Civil War", https://doi.org/10.7910/DVN/JOZMWA, Harvard Dataverse, V1
This article examines and builds upon Humphreys and Weinstein's, "Who Fights? the Determinants of Participation in Civil War" (Humphreys and Weinstein, 2008). Using survey results from post-war Sierra Leone, HW study why individuals join a fighting faction. HW found support for three theories of participation: individual or group grievances, indivi... |

Michael Barnett; Akihiro Nishi; Abigail Coplin, 2010, "Replication data for: National Ambulatory Medical Care Survey 2005-7 and Cardiovascular Disease Quality Measures", https://doi.org/10.7910/DVN/O3Z7NE, Harvard Dataverse, V1
Background: Prior research has shown that patients in the US generally receive just over half of the outpatient care recommended by expert guidelines. Electronic health records (EHR) have been proposed as a solution for improving ambulatory health care quality in the US. However, studies on the association of EHR on outpatient quality in US physici... |

Matthew A. Kraft, Alonso Sanchez, 2010, "The Effects of Locally Financed Class-Size Reduction Initiatives", https://doi.org/10.7910/DVN/Y6EL94, Harvard Dataverse, V1, UNF:5:2rzMckBmLzOehA5MX5NjcA== [fileUNF]
This research identifies the causal impact of locally approved bonds and parcel taxes on average class sizes and subsequent schooling outcomes in California k-12 public school districts. We build upon recent work by Cellini, Ferreira, and Rothstein (2010) who develop a dynamic regression discontinuity approach to examine the effect of school distri... |
John Snyder; Carl Gershenson; Burak Eskici, 2010, "Replication data for: Ethnic Power Relations", https://doi.org/10.7910/DVN/HLRCSL, Harvard Dataverse, V1, UNF:5:zy5BK1SWfJxsxGjEC6LRKA== [fileUNF]
In this paper, we replicate and comment Wimmer, Cederman, and Min's (2009) "Ethnic Politics and Armed Conflicts." First we discuss structural issues with the data that may interfere with valid causal inference. Then we estimate a number of first differences in order to question the theoretical conclusions the authors drew from their own models. Fin... |

Anderson, Ashley and Hill, Andrea, 2010, "Ashley Anderson and Andrea Hill's Comments on "Oil, Islam, and Women"", https://doi.org/10.7910/DVN/OTF0JB, Harvard Dataverse, V1
Michael Ross' paper "Oil, Islam and Women" (The American Political Science Review, Feb 2008: 102,1, pg 107) has significantly impacted both public debate and social science research on the relationship between Islamic culture and gender equality. It challenges the commonly-held notion that women in the Middle East are repressed because of cultural... |

Nick Menzies; Ariel Dora Stern, 2010, "Replication data for: Education and HIV Status in Sub-Saharan Africa", https://doi.org/10.7910/DVN/MHDWTX, Harvard Dataverse, V1
This study replicated an analysis of survey data from five sub-Saharan African countries, investigating the link between education and HIV status. The data were collected through Demographic and Health Surveys, large standardized population-based cluster surveys conducted in many developing countries. This study draws data from Burkina Faso, Camero... |

Derick Bowen, Abdul Tariq, Anna Weisfeiler, 2010, "Replication data for: Nuclear Assistance Does Not Cause Nuclear Proliferation", https://doi.org/10.7910/DVN/8FSIR4, Harvard Dataverse, V1, UNF:5://ff/dPRuT2s+CMJtMkENg== [fileUNF]
This article shows that Matthew Kroenig (2009)’s evidence that nuclear assistance increases states’ probability of acquiring nuclear weapons is overturned when more comprehensive indicators of state capacity are taken into account. Matthew Kroenig’s ``Importing the Bomb” presents a supply-side argument that a state’s ability to acquire nuclear weap... |

Jennifer Pan; Chiara Superti, 2010, "Replication data for: Where's Waldo? Searching for the Hidden Variable of "Real" Corruption", https://doi.org/10.7910/DVN/VROOTD, Harvard Dataverse, V1, UNF:5:ZGUnBrDVv9wJ6d9hZPlKVQ== [fileUNF]
Corruption is a commonly studied phenomenon, not only in political science, but across the social sciences. However, the difficulty of measuring corruption presents a significant barrier to this research program. In this paper, we use a well-specified model for explaining corruption presented by Campante, Chor, and Doh (2009) as a starting point fo... |
