There has been much discussion about how members of Congress desire money early in the campaign season. However, theoretical models of how contributions are allocated during the electoral cycle have been lacking. Our analysis attempts to remedy this gap by providing and testing a model which specifies how the process of bargaining between members o... |

Jack Buckley, 2010, "Replication data for: Simple Bayesian Inference for Qualitative Political Research", https://doi.org/10.7910/DVN/V4DFVZ, Harvard Dataverse, V1
In political science and related disciplines in the social and behavioral sciences, there exists an unfortunate de facto divide between qualitative and quantitative empirical research. Sometimes this divide is purely a function of training and disciplinary socialization, but often it reflects a valid dispute over the philosophical foundations of in... |
Rodolfo Espino; Michael M. Franz, 2010, "Replication data for: Retesting Committee Composition Hypotheses for the U.S. Congress", https://doi.org/10.7910/DVN/BD2G6X, Harvard Dataverse, V1
This study replicates and extends Groseclose’s (1994) tests of Congressional committee composition hypotheses for the 99th Congress. Alternative hypotheses pit partisan explanations of committee organization against the informational roles committees can play in producing ‘‘good’’ public policy. Other hypotheses explore the likelihood that committe... |
Jeffery J. Mondak, 2010, "Replication data for: Reconsidering the Measurement of Political Knowledge", https://doi.org/10.7910/DVN/1GEF4C, Harvard Dataverse, V1
Political knowledge has emerged as one of the central variables in political behavior research, with numerous scholars devoting considerable effort to explaining variance in citizens' levels of knowledge and to understanding the consequences of this variance for representation. Although such substantive matters continue to receive exhaustive study,... |

Social scientific theories frequently posit that multiple causal mechanisms may produce the same outcome. Unfortunately, it is not always possible to observe which mechanism was responsible. For example, IMF scholars conjecture that nations enter IMF agreements both out of economic need and for discretionary domestic political reasons. Typically, t... |

Stephen M. Shellman, 2010, "Replication data for: Time Series Intervals and Statistical Inference: The Effects of Temporal Aggregation on Event Data Analysis", https://doi.org/10.7910/DVN/M9KLWI, Harvard Dataverse, V1
While many areas of research in political science draw inferences from temporally aggregated data, rarely have researchers explored how temporal aggregation biases parameter estimates. With some notable exceptions (Freeman 1989, Political Analysis 1:61–98; Alt et al. 2001, Political Analysis 9:21–44; Thomas 2002, "Event Data Analysis and Threats fr... |
Gary Cox, 2010, "Introduction to the Special Issue", https://doi.org/10.7910/DVN/U1UBII, Harvard Dataverse, V1
THE SPATIAL MODEL is the workhorse theory of modern legislative studies. Starting as a metaphor common in discussions of mass elections, the model’s basics were developed by Hotelling (1929) and Downs (1957) for use in the electoral arena and by Black (1948a,b) for use in legislative studies.> In both its electoral and its legislative versions, the... |
Kevin T. McGuire, 2010, "Replication data for: The Institutionalization of the US Supreme Court", https://doi.org/10.7910/DVN/UCGN7P, Harvard Dataverse, V1
In pursuing their goals, members of the U.S. Supreme Court are affected by their institutional setting. How has that institutional environment changed over time and what have been the political consequences of those changes? Despite considerable analysis of the institutional dynamics of legislatures and executives, political scientists have been sl... |

Artemus Ward, 2010, "Replication data for: How One Mistake Leads to Another: On the Importance of Verification/Replication", https://doi.org/10.7910/DVN/QY1ZU0, Harvard Dataverse, V1
It is impossible to overstate the importance of doing original research based on primary source material in scientific analysis (see, for example, King 1995). Failing to consult primary sources, and by definition relying on secondary sources, can lead to incorrect analyses and mistaken conclusions. An exemplary case is the apparent mystery of wheth... |
