This dissertation addresses the questions of what kind of political information is provided by media outlets and how media environments affect electoral politics. In my first essay, I investigate the effect of the entry of television on U.S. presidential elections from 1944 to 1964. I first show that television increases the importance of the natio...

Brett L Carter, 2016, "Replication data for: Inside Autocracy: Political Survival and the Modern Prince", https://doi.org/10.7910/DVN/27406, Harvard Dataverse, V1
Virtually all African autocrats now govern with parliaments and organize regular, multiparty elections. They have little choice. Since the end of the Cold War, Western governments have required nominally democratic institutions in exchange for aid, investment, and debt relief.

Llaudet, Elena, 2016, "Replication data for: Electoral Institutions, Party Strategies, Candidate Attributes, and the Incumbency Advantage", https://doi.org/10.7910/DVN/25732, Harvard Dataverse, V1
In developed democracies, incumbents are consistently found to have an electoral advantage over their challengers. The normative implications of this phenomenon depend on its sources.

Holland, Alisha, 2016, "Replication data for: Forbearance as Redistribution: Enforcement Politics in Urban Latin America", https://doi.org/10.7910/DVN/25844, Harvard Dataverse, V1
Why do governments tolerate the violation of their own laws and regulations, and when do they enforce them?

Many scholars have speculated that censorship efforts will be ineffective in the information age, where the possibility of accessing incriminating information about almost any political entity will benefit the masses at the expense of the powerful.

Jaros, Kyle, 2016, "Replication data for: The Politics of Metropolitan Bias in China", https://doi.org/10.7910/DVN/27120, Harvard Dataverse, V1
Policymakers in China and other developing countries grapple with a metropolitan dilemma.

This dissertation presents three essays offering explanations for the persistence of corruption despite electoral competition. This file contains replication data for the third essay.
