David E. Lewis, 2007, "Replication data for: The Politics of Agency Termination: Confronting the Myth of Agency Immortality, 2002", https://doi.org/10.7910/DVN/UFH9OC, Harvard Dataverse, V1, UNF:3:hP7MFxd+8k1zAagTuOVkcg== [fileUNF]
This article examines agency mortality between 1946 and 1997 and argues that, contrary to popular belief, agencies are not immortal. Rather, agencies face significant risks of termination, particularly due to political turnover. When an agency's opponents gain power, the hazards of agency mortality increase. Principal among the findings of this pap... |

David E. Lewis; John B. Gilmour, 2007, "Replication data for: Political Appointees and the Competence of Federal Program Management, 2006", https://doi.org/10.7910/DVN/QDEEBK, Harvard Dataverse, V1, UNF:3:1PGgPWTH61DST2AB4qg6Yg== [fileUNF]
In this article, we use the Bush administration’s management grades to analyze whether programs administered by senior executives are better managed than those administered by political appointees requiring Senate confirmation. We explain the administration’s management grading scheme and how it can be informative for evaluating comparative managem... |
Correlates of War, 2007, "COW Intra-State War Data, 1816-1997 (v3.0)", https://doi.org/10.7910/DVN/G9QXVR, Harvard Dataverse, V1, UNF:3:CNvDCxPKBfL79NImc++3Cw== [fileUNF]
War takes many forms in the contemporary era, including serious military conflicts between states (inter-state war), between states and non-state actors (extra-state war), and within states (intra-state war). Version 3.0 of the Correlates of War Intra-State War data set identifies intrastate wars and their participants between 1816 and 1997. In any... |
David A. Lake; Matthew A. Baum, 2007, "Replication data for: The Invisible Hand of Democracy: Political Control and the Provision of Public Services", https://doi.org/10.7910/DVN/KK7SRS, Harvard Dataverse, V1, UNF:3:F08BdplYie6rZsH6fc/PBQ== [fileUNF]
Despite considerable normative support, analysts have failed to identify any systematic effects of democracy on domestic policy outputs. Building on a theory of the state as a monopoly producer of public services and establishing a common foundation for studying variations in regimes and their policy consequences, the authors hypothesize that democ... |

Brian Lai, 2007, "Replication data for: Examining the Goals of US Foreign Assistance in the Post-Cold War period, 1991-1996", https://doi.org/10.7910/DVN/VBCT3O, Harvard Dataverse, V1, UNF:3:kYMmQEl0ElB8y0G+JXx8tg== [fileUNF]
The current literature examining US foreign assistance goals in the post-Cold War period has found that security is declining in importance and that the USA is aiding democracies while also supporting abusers of human rights. This article examines a previously untested neorealist hypothesis about the changing nature of US security goals following t... |

Brian Lai; Clayton Thyne, 2007, "Replication data for: The Effect of Civil War on Education, 1980-1997", https://doi.org/10.7910/DVN/N8MOFF, Harvard Dataverse, V1, UNF:3:jFDNTsiLS4Fugpp2A2/yMA== [fileUNF]
This study examines the negative effects of civil wars and the post-civil war environment on educational expenditures and enrollment. Two causal mechanisms are considered. First, civil wars are likely to destroy a state's system of education through the loss of infrastructure and personnel. Second, a less deleterious cause may be the drawing away o... |

In ‘Understanding Interaction Models: Improving Empirical Analyses’, we report the results of several replications that we conducted of analyses examining electoral institutions and party systems. One of these replications was of David Samuels’ article ‘The Gubernatorial Coattails Effect: Federalism and Congressional Elections in Brazil’ which appe... |

Brett Ashley Leeds, 2007, "Replication data for: Domestic Political Institutions, Credible Commitments, and International Cooperation", https://doi.org/10.7910/DVN/EEQL7H, Harvard Dataverse, V1, UNF:3:F7/EMOrYJ9VIr3EZox+nqw== [fileUNF]
I consider the influence of domestic political institutions on the ability of leaders to establish bilateral cooperation in the international system. Leaders operating in different domestic institutional environments have differing abilities to commit credibly to future courses of action, to accept the costs of policy failures, and to adjust to cha... |

Brett Ashley Leeds; Sara McLaughlin Mitchell; and Andrew G. Long, 2007, "Replication data for: Reevaluating Alliance Reliability: Specific Threats, Specific Promises", https://doi.org/10.7910/DVN/55VDFM, Harvard Dataverse, V1, UNF:3:0EUCl6uscw5Lb5T+WSBMeQ== [fileUNF]
Previously reported empirical evidence suggests that when conflict arises, military alliances are not reliable; state leaders should only expect their alliance partners to join them in war about 25% of the time. Yet, theoretical arguments explaining the choices of leaders to form cooperative agreements are at odds with such empirical evidence. This... |
