title: Geographical Infrastructure for the City of Boston v. 2020

description: The Boston Area Research Initiative’s Geographical Infrastructure for Boston is a database that organizes and links the places and regions of Boston, MA across 17 levels—including land parcels, streets, census geographies, and other administrative regions. The levels are organized in a hierarchy, with the items in each level nested in the higher-level regions that contain it (e.g., land parcels in census geographies). This is coordinated via variables that act as unique identifiers at each level. As a composite, the database is intended to facilitate aggregate calculations across levels of the hierarchy and analyses of data from different sources that reference the same geographical units. In particular, the database makes it possible to connect data sets generated by the City of Boston with census geographies and data. Note: Only data sets that were updated in 2020 are posted here. See earlier versions of the Geographical Infrastructure for the other data sets (e.g., census, administrative geographies). (2020-08-11)

title: Replication Data for: The (In)effectiveness of Populist Rhetoric: A Conjoint Experiment of Campaign Messaging

description: Is populism electorally effective and, if so, why? Scholars agree that populism is a set of people-centric, anti-pluralist, and anti-elitist ideas that can be combined with various ideological positions. It is difficult yet important to disentangle populism from its hosting ideology in evaluating populism's effectiveness and its potential conditional effects on the hosting ideology. We conduct a novel US conjoint experiment asking respondents to evaluate pairs of realistic campaign messages with varying populism-related messages and hosting policy positions given by hypothetical primary candidates. Although party-congruent policy positions are expectedly much more popular, we find that none of the populist features have an independent or a combined effect on candidate choice.

title: Replication Data for: Pay to Play? How Reducing APSA Division Fees Increases Graduate Student Participation

description: In 2017, the APSA Committee on the Status of Graduate Students in the Profession launched an initiative to lower the cost of Division (organized section) membership for students in order to promote graduate students’ professional development and advance Division interests. This article assesses the effect of this intervention on Division membership. Using APSA membership data, we find that nearly two-thirds of Divisions that charged fees in 2017 reduced or eliminated student fees between 2017 and 2019, nearly halving the average student dues (from $11.57 in 2017 to $5.84 in 2019). As a result, average student membership increased by over 300 percent in Divisions that reduced fees (from 79.5 in 2017 to 248.7 in 2019), compared to a marginal 30 percent increase in those that did not decrease fees. The outcomes of the initiative support additional efforts to reduce the costs of APSA participation for graduate students.

title: Replication data for: Justice Has Served: US Supreme Court Justice Retirement Strategies

description: Empirical studies have been mixed about whether the political environment influences a justice's decision to retire from the U.S. Supreme Court. Studies have tended to presume that the influence of the political environment is uniform, such that justices are more likely to retire during more favorable environments and less likely to retire during less favorable environments. But this article provides theory and evidence that justices are more likely to time their retirements to only one particular favorable political environment: a favorable political environment following an unfavorable political environment. Results of an analysis of Supreme Court justices' retirement decisions from 1962 to 2010 suggest that justices have pursued this delayed-retirement strategy more than any other retirement strategy.

title: Symposium: What Drives Nuclear Proliferation?

description: [This is a post-publication review symposium] What drives governments to develop nuclear weapons? For those concerned in slowing, halting, or reversing the spread of nuclear weapons, the answer to this questions matter immensely. It helps identify what policies are most likely to convince states to abandon the quest for nuclear weapons, to not pursue them in the first place, or even to give up their existing stockpiles. But international-studies analysis provides a host of different, and sometimes contradictory answers. The same is true for the growing body of statistical literature on nuclear weapons. As Mark Bell argues in his International Studies Quarterly article, it even “offers many more distinctive explanations for proliferation than there are cases of proliferation in the historical record.” Bell conducts a series tests using “extreme bounds analysis, cross-validation, and random forests to evaluate 31 variables identified as significant determinants of proliferation.” He finds that, “While some variables—particularly, the pursuit and possession of other weapons of mass destruction, receipt of sensitive nuclear assistance, and some measures of threat—perform better than others, the overall results should give us pause. The majority of variables identified as significant determinants of proliferation fail to provide robust explanations for existing patterns of proliferation. They also offer little predictive ability beyond what we can achieve with an extremely simple model. The quantitative literature on proliferation has, for now, produced more tentative findings than scholars typically understand.”[...]

title: Replication Data for: Disease and Dissent: Epidemics as a Catalyst for Social Unrest

description: We identify a set of potential theoretical mechanisms that link the outbreak and spread of communicable diseases to temporal and spatial patterns of social unrest. Despite the proliferation of research since 2020 analyzing the social impact of the Covid- 19 pandemic, we examine the broader relationship between less severe epidemic outbreaks and their social consequences. Epidemics, as well as the policies that governments implement to tackle them, often generate acute grievances among the public and create new opportunities for collective dissent, the combination of which promotes unrest. Nonetheless, perceived opportunities for unrest are influenced by the scale and scope of the disease outbreak, and particularly lethal disease outbreaks may therefore offset the incentives for collective mobilization. We examine these relationships using sub-national data on communicable disease outbreaks and geo-located social unrest events data in 60 African and Latin American countries from 1990 to 2017 and find support for our argument. However, we observe a curvilinear relationships between the severity of the epidemic and the incidence of unrest.

title: Women’s Movements and Women’s Policy Offices in Western Postindustrial Democracies, 1970-2001

description: The RNGS team of international scholars designed and carried out this large-scale comparative research project to examine if, how, and why women's policy offices, through their relations with women’s movements, make post industrial democracies more democratic and the state more feminist. The network’s study encompasses the momentous years of women’s movements from the emergence of autonomous protests in Europe and North America for the liberation of women in the 1960s and 1970s through the successful integration of movement activists into conventional politics in the 1990s and 2000s. The unit of analysis in the study and the dataset is a policy debate which takes place in a political/government arena and ends with an official decision or non-decision. Information in the dataset comes from the two phases of the project—qualitative and quantitative.
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; The dataset suite includes a PDF codebook/users guide and two data files—one of the numerically based data set in SPSS and a second file with text appendices of supplemental descriptive information for 22 variables in PDF. The dataset was initially presented to interested scholars August 29, 2007 at a short course at the American Political Science Meetings in Chicago. In Fall 2011, the final RNGS dataset will become part of the ICPSR data archive. It is also available to downloa
d from the RNGS website -- http:/libarts.wsu.edu/polisci/rngs. The website also has documents that provide detail on all aspects of the project.

title: Laguna Loop Survey (1995)

description: The Laguna Loop survey is a farm household level data set collected by the IRRI - Agricultural Economics Department prior to the introduction of the high yielding varieties of rice. This initial survey refers to 1965 dry season - data that provided excellent benchmark information from rice farming respondents. The study was based upon a survey in which information was obtained regarding farm practices and costs and returns and other associated data related to rice production. The subsequent surveys have been taken every two to four years to note the pattern of adoption of the high yielding varieties, paddy yield, prices, various farming inputs, labor use, land tenure arrangement and the changes that have occurred in farming practices and costs and returns that have occurred overtime. These data are extremely useful historical records of the changes that have occurred during the four decades, the dynamic period of Philippine rice production. The sample farms are selected from the six municipalities in Laguna province - namely: Calauan, Bay, Calamba, Cabuyao, Sta. Rosa and Binan . In the later years - some of the farmers discontinue farming because their rice farms were converted into industrial and residential purpose. Hence, there was a reduction in the number of respondents per year or per season in the later years. Generally, the focal objective of this study is to track the changes in the farmer's rice technology, cultural practices, land tenure, mechanization, and labor practices that occurred during the survey period from 1965 to 2008. A number of publications, research papers, reports, and vast collections of Masters and Dissertations theses have already been published that utilized this very exhaustive panel data sets.

title: Discounting for Climate Change [Dataset]

description: It is well-known that the discount rate is crucially important for estimating the social cost of
carbon, a standard indicator for the seriousness of climate change and desirable level of climate policy. The Ramsey equation for the discount rate has three components: the pure rate of time preference, a measure of relative risk aversion, and the rate of growth of per capita consumption. Much of the attention on the appropriate discount rate for long-term environmental problems has focussed on the role played by the pure rate of time preference in this formulation. We show that the othe
r two elements are numerically just as important in considerations of anthropogenic climate change. The elasticity of the marginal utility with respect to consumption is particularly important because it assumes three roles: consumption smoothing over time, risk aversion, and inequity aversion. Given the large uncertainties about climate change and widely asymmetric impacts, the assumed rates of risk and inequity aversion can be expected to play significant roles. The consumption growth rat
e plays multiple roles, as well. It is one of the determinants of the discount rate, and one of the drivers of emissions and hence climate change. We also find that the impacts of climate change grow slower than income, so the effective discount rate is higher than the real discount rate. Moreover, the differential growth rate between rich and poor countries determines the time evolution of the size of the equity weights. As there are a number of crucial but uncertain parameters, it is no
surprise that one can obtain almost any estimate of the social cost of carbon. We even show
that, for a low pure rate of time preference, the estimate of the social cost of carbon is indeed arbitrary—as one can exclude neither large positive nor large negative impacts in the very long run. However, if we probabilistically constrain the parameters to values that are implied by observed behaviour, we find that the expected social cost of carbon, corrected for uncertainty and inequity, is approximate 60 US dollar per metric tonne of carbon (or roughly $17 per tonne of CO2) under th
e assumption that catastrophic risk is zero.

title: Migration, Diversity, and Economic Development: Post-WWII Displacement in Poland

description: How does cultural diversity affect social organization? Do institutional differences between diverse and homogeneous communities have implications for economic development? I argue that heterogeneity not only weakens informal enforcement mechanisms that rely on shared norms and networks, but also creates demand for formal (public-order) institutions provided by the state. I further argue that the predominance of formal over informal institutional mechanisms in more heterogeneous communities can lead to divergent economic outcomes when formal institutions adequately protect private property and enforce contracts. In particular, greater reliance on formal law and public authority facilitates economic development by enabling arm’s length transactions and encouraging entrepreneurship. I provide empirical evidence for this argument by drawing on micro-level historical data on population transfers following the shift in Poland’s borders in 1945, one of the largest episodes of forced migration in Europe’s recent history. The border changes triggered resettlement of nearly six million people, or one-fifth of Poland’s pre-war population, from the USSR, Central Poland, and Western and Southern Europe into the communities abandoned by ethnic Germans. Arbitrary resettlement procedures produced varying degrees of cultural heterogeneity at the local level. I find that homogeneous migrant groups were more successful in reestablishing private-order institutions that relied on informal enforcement mechanisms, such as volunteer fire brigades, while diverse migrant communities depended on the state for the provision of public goods and enforcement of cooperative behavior. Economically similar during state socialism, communities settled by diverse migrants in the 1940s registered higher incomes and greater entrepreneurship following the transition to a market economy. Their residents also express greater confidence in formal institutions, such as courts and the police.
