title: Data for "Factors associated with diarrheal disease among children aged 1-5 years in a cholera epidemic in rural Haiti"

description: Diarrheal illness is a major cause of morbidity and mortality among children in Haiti, and the impact of diarrheal illness was compounded by a cholera outbreak between 2010 and 2019. Our understanding of risk factors for diarrhea among children during this outbreak is limited. We conducted a secondary analysis of data collected as part of a cholera vaccine effectiveness study to identify factors associated with medically attended diarrhea among children in central Haiti from October of 2012 through November of 2016. We identified 47 children aged one to five years old who presented to medical clinics with acute, watery diarrhea, and 166 matched controls who did not have diarrhea, and we performed conditional logistic regression to identify factors associated with diarrhea. Discontinuing exclusive breastfeeding within one month of birth was associated with increased risk of diarrhea (RR 6.9, 95% CI 1.46 – 32.64), and diarrhea was inversely associated with reported history of supplementation with vitamin A (RR 0.05, 95% CI 0.004 – 0.56) and zinc (reported among 0% of cases vs. 17% of controls). Because of the concordance in supplementation patterns, it was not possible to attribute the association to vitamin A or zinc independently. While having a respondent who correctly identified ≥3 means of avoiding cholera was associated with reduced risk of diarrhea (RR 0.43, 95% CI 0.19 - 1.01), reported household sanitation practices and knowledge of cholera were not consistently associated with risk of diarrhea. These findings support ongoing efforts to reduce barriers to breastfeeding and promote pediatric supplementation with vitamin A and zinc in Haiti. Given the reduced efficacy of current oral cholera vaccines (OCV) among children, the results reinforce the importance of breastfeeding and micronutrient supplementation in preventing all-cause pediatric diarrheal illness generally and during cholera outbreaks.

title: Characteristics of Norovirus Capsid Protein-Specific CD8+ T-Cell Responses in Previously Infected Individuals

description: Norovirus (NV) infection causes acute gastroenteritis in children and adults. Upon infection with NV, specific CD8+ T cells, which play an important role in anti-infective immunity, are activated in the host. Owing to the NV’s wide genotypic variability, it is challenging to develop vaccines with cross-protective abilities against infection. To aid effective vaccine development, we examined specific CD8+ T-cell responses toward viral-structural protein (VP) epitopes, which enable binding to host susceptibility receptors. We isolated peripheral blood mononuclear cells from 196 participants to screen and identify predominant core peptides toward NV main and small envelope proteins using ex vivo and in vitro intracellular cytokine staining assays. Human leukocyte antigen (HLA) restriction characteristics were detected using next-generation sequencing. Three conservative immunodominant VP-derived CD8+ T-cell epitopes, VP294–102 (TDAARGAIN), VP2153–161 (RGPSNKSSN), and VP1141–148 (FPHIIVDV), were identified and restrictively presented by HLA-Cw*0102, HLA-Cw*0702, and HLA-A*1101 alleles, separately. Our findings provide useful insights into the development of future vaccines and treatments for NV infection.

title: Replication Data for: Can civilian attitudes predict insurgent violence?

description: Are civilian attitudes a useful predictor of patterns of violence in
civil wars? A prominent debate has emerged among scholars and
practitioners about the importance of winning civilian `hearts and
minds' for influencing their wartime behavior. We argue that such
efforts may have a dark side: insurgents can use pro-counterinsurgent
attitudes as cues to select their targets and tactics. We conduct an
original survey experiment in 204 Afghan villages and establish a
positive association between pro-International Security Assistance
Force attitudes and future Taliban attacks. We extend our analysis to
14,606 non-surveyed villages and demonstrate that our measure of
civilian attitudes improves out-of-sample predictive performance by
20-30\% over a standard forecasting model. The results are especially
strong for Taliban attacks with improvised explosive devices. These
improvements in predictive power remain even after adjusting for
possible confounders, including past violence, military bases, and
development aid.

title: Replication data for: Terminating Alliances: Why do States Abrogate Agreements?

description: Are binding international agreements only valuable as matters stand (rebus sic stantibus), or are pacts respected in good faith regardless of changing circumstances (pacta sunt servanda)? In this article, we examine this question with respect to military alliance agreements, and we find that alliances are more likely to be abrogated opportunistically when one or more members experience changes that affect the value of the alliance, for instance a change in international power, a change in domestic political institutions, or the formation of a new outside alliance. We also find, however, that controlling for such changes, factors that affect the costs of breaking commitments (for example, democracy and issue linkage) reduce the probability that leaders will abandon their alliances in violation of their terms. We evaluate our argument empirically on a sample of bilateral alliances formed between 1816 and 1989 using competing risks duration analysis and find support for our hypotheses.

title: Replication Data for: Education, public suppport for institutions, and the separation of powers

description: A successful democratic transition requires citizens to embrace a new set of political insti- tutions. Citizens’ support is vital for these institutions to uphold the burgeoning constitutional and legal order. Courts, for example, often rely on citizens’ support and threat of electoral punishment against the government to enforce their rulings. In this article, I consider whether education under democracy can engender this support. Using regression discontinuity, difference-in-differences, and difference-in-difference-in-differences designs, I find an additional year of schooling after the fall of the Berlin Wall has similar positive downstream effects on East Germans’ support across institutions. Since schooling similarly affects public support for judicial, legislative, and executive institutions, citizens are not necessarily inclined to electorally punish the other branches when they ignore a court’s ruling. This potential inability of courts to constrain unlawful government behavior threatens the foundation of the separation of powers and the survival of democracy.

title: Replication Data for: Tax compliance and social desirability bias of taxpayers: Experimental evidence from Indonesia

description: Identifying taxpayers who engage in non-compliant behavior is crucial for tax authorities to determine appropriate taxation schemes. However, since taxpayers have an incentive to conceal their true income, it is difficult for tax authorities to uncover such behavior (social desirability bias). Our study mitigates the bias in responses to sensitive questions by employing the list experiment technique, which allows us to identify the characteristics of taxpayers who engage in tax evasion. Using a dataset obtained from a tax office in Jakarta, Indonesia, we conducted a computer-assisted telephone interviewing survey in 2019. Our results revealed that 13 percent of the taxpayers, old, male, corporate employees, and members of a certain ethnic group had reported lower income than their true income on their tax returns. These findings suggest that our research design can be a useful tool for understanding tax evasion and for developing effective taxation schemes, that promote tax compliance.

title: Replication data for: Amici Curiae and Strategies for Gaining Access to the Supreme Court

description: In the process of case selection in the U.S. Supreme Court, lawyers try to secure space on the justices' plenary agenda; through briefs amicus curiae, interest groups try to advance their policy views. Thus, both seek access to the Court. What brings lawyers and organized interests together? In this article, I develop a model which examines when and why lawyers who represent petitioners build coalitions with groups. Using survey data from the 1986-87 Term of the Court, I show that lawyers-particularly lawyers with expertise in the agenda setting process-actively recruit the support of interests as amici curiae. Solicitation of amici most often occurs when lawyers and interest groups share similar goals, specifically, the desire for the justices to speak authoritatively on an issue of national importance. Consistent with the literature on organized interests, the results serve to explain why so few lawyers seek the support of amici curiae, despite their impact on the justices' decision making.
