William Clark; Michael Gilligan; Matt Golder, 2007, "Replication data for: A Simple Multivariate Test for Asymmetric Hypotheses", https://doi.org/10.7910/DVN/XUCOMA, Harvard Dataverse, V1, UNF:3:8IiaCCaUqC9c4JHzLteq9A== [fileUNF]
In this paper, we argue that claims of necessity and sufficiency involve a type of asymmetric causal claim that is useful in many social scientific contexts. Contrary to some qualitative researchers, we maintain that there is nothing about such asymmetries that should lead scholars to depart from standard social science practice. We take as given t... |
Matt Golder, 2007, "Replication data for: Electoral Institutions, Unemployment and Extreme Right Parties: A Correction", https://doi.org/10.7910/DVN/VNQPZ2, Harvard Dataverse, V1, UNF:3:fItRc/ZUoQHaYdvDLnt6gA== [fileUNF]
In their 1996 article in the British Journal of Politic Science, Robert Jackman and Karin Volpert examine the conditions favoring parties of the extreme right in western Europe. They report strong evidence that unemployment, electoral thresholds and multi-partism affect the electoral success of extreme right parties. As a result, they conclude that... |
Matt Golder, 2007, "Replication data for: Explaining Variation in the Electoral Success of Extreme Right Parties in Western Europe", https://doi.org/10.7910/DVN/R8LUD4, Harvard Dataverse, V1, UNF:3:x3NMmvzfPrsFd9WKF1EnJQ== [fileUNF]
Methodological problems associated with selection bias and interaction effects have hindered the accumulation of systematic knowledge about the factors that explain cross-national variation in the success of extreme right parties. The author uses a statistical analysis that takes account of these problems to examine the effect of electoral institut... |

William Clark; Matt Golder, 2007, "Replication data for: Rehabilitating Duverger's Theory: Testing the Mechanical and Strategic Modifying Effects of Electoral Laws", https://doi.org/10.7910/DVN/HGXPHP, Harvard Dataverse, V1, UNF:3:9vZjXJDKPmggOHufBr6UKw== [fileUNF]
Although Duverger is traditionally seen as synonymous with the institutionalist approach to party systems, this article shows that he believed social pressures were the driving force behind the multiplication of parties. Electoral institutions are important, but only because they determine the extent to which social forces are translated into polit... |
Thomas Brambor; William Clark; Matt Golder, 2007, "Replication data for: Understanding Interaction Models: Improving Empirical Analyses", https://doi.org/10.7910/DVN/B8YKU3, Harvard Dataverse, V1, UNF:3:nTWHG8IKZkTzi/aOkRkjgg== [fileUNF]
Multiplicative interaction models are common in the quantitative political science literature. This is so for good reason. Institutional arguments frequently imply that the relationship between political inputs and outcomes varies depending on the institutional context. Models of strategic interaction typically produce conditional hypotheses as wel... |
Thomas Brambor; William Roberts Clark; Matt Golder, 2007, "Replication data for: Gubernatorial and Presidential Coattails in Brazil", https://doi.org/10.7910/DVN/82CWKQ, Harvard Dataverse, V1, UNF:3:9zLEqklsMKQnsksgQr60Rg== [fileUNF]
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... |
Thomas Brambor; William Roberts Clark; Matt Golder, 2007, "Replication data for: Electoral System Choice", https://doi.org/10.7910/DVN/JYL2FZ, Harvard Dataverse, V1, UNF:3:rXN03fdNulZZpNdxvEztsw== [fileUNF]
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 Carles Boix’s article ‘Setting the Rules of the Game: The Choice of Electoral Systems in Advanced Democracies’ which app... |
Matt Golder, 2007, "Replication data for: Democratic Electoral Systems Around the World, 1946-2000", https://doi.org/10.7910/DVN/RT6HI7, Harvard Dataverse, V1, UNF:3:Tck3h2JpUzohauPCbNIm5w== [fileUNF]
This article describes a new data set that covers the electoral institutions used in all of the democratic legislative and presidential elections in 199 countries between 1946 (or independence) and 2000. A clear and consistent classification of the electoral institutions used in these elections is followed by a concise geographical and temporal ana... |

Recently Mozaffar et al. [Mozaffar, S., Scarritt, J.R., Galaich, G., 2003. Electoral institutions, ethnopolitical cleavages and party systems in Africa’s emerging democracies. American Political Science Review 97, 379e390] presented evidence suggesting that African party systems are somehow different from party systems elsewhere in the world. In do... |
William Clark; Matt Golder; Sona Golder, 2007, "Replication data for: Fiscal Policy and the Democratic Process in the European Union", https://doi.org/10.7910/DVN/ZZL4WN, Harvard Dataverse, V1, UNF:3:Bzp8zn4sG9N+PQV1DkX/cg== [fileUNF]
The construction of a monetary union with a single currency in Europe raises serious concerns for those who understand the democratic process as one in which social groups compete on different ideological programs. This is because it increasingly constrains national governments of different partisan hues to follow similar fiscal and monetary polici... |
