title: Institutional convergence in Europe

description: This paper applies the statistical concepts of σ-convergence and unconditional β‑convergence to institutional development within several country groups hierarchized to the degree of European integration (e.g., euro area). Two sets of indicators are employed to measure institutional development: first, the Worldwide Governance Indicators, and second, the product market regulation indicator of the OECD and the Doing Business distance to frontier indicator of the World Bank. The authors can clearly confirm institutional β-convergence within the EU and its aspirants, which is mainly driven by the new Member States and acceding, candidate, and potential candidate countries. However, euro-area countries converge only in the area of product market and business regulation—not in the area of governance. In fact, the authors show evidence for β-divergence in rule of law within the first twelve euro-area members. Concerning σ-convergence, the results are less clear. Only the EU including the EU-aspirants reduced the cross-country variance in all aspects of institutional development.

title: Replication Data for: Participation improves collective decisions (when it involves deliberation): Experimental evidence from Kenya

description: Citizen participation in decision-making has been widely lauded as a method for improving societal outcomes. Deliberative discussion, in particular, is believed to be more transformative than a mere aggregation of individual preferences, leading to more socially optimal decision making and behavior. I report the results from a laboratory experiment with 570 subjects in Nairobi, directly testing the effect of participation in deliberative group decision-making on collective outcomes. Participants engage in a group task to earn compensation toward a shared group fund. Randomly assigned treatments vary according to whether decision-making over the task to be completed involves (1) external assignment, (2) non-deliberative majority voting, or (3) consensus through deliberative discussion. I find that deliberation improves collective decision making. Deliberation is also associated with changes in preferences, greater agreement with decision outcomes, and greater perceived fairness. Evidence for behavior change is weaker, but there is some support for further research into the relationship between preference change and behavior change.

title: Annual Firearms Manufacturing and Export Report, 2000-2019

description: AFMER Time Series 2000-2019.csv contains the data originally distributed in the .PDF reports from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms (ATF): "Annual Firearms Manufacturing and Export Report," from 2000-2019. This document listed the names, locations, and numbers of firearms, by type, manufactured and exported from each federal firearms licensed manufacturer in the US, reported by the ATF. The .pdf lists were converted into .csv data files, and separated by firearm type. The data were then merged by RDS KEY to identify total number of firearms per facility. The data were then appended by year to create a panel data set. The data are location in nature, and some companies have multiple locations and RDS keys. Adding to the original report, this file contains aggregate exports and total number of firearms manufactured of all type, by RDS key.

title: Replication Data for: How Bad Is It? Elite Influence and the Perceived Seriousness of the Coronavirus Pandemic

description: In spite of its immense global impact, Republicans and Democrats disagree on how serious a problem the coronavirus pandemic is. One likely reason is the political elites to whom partisans listen. As a means of shoring up support, President Trump has largely downplayed and but sometimes hyped the severity of the virus's toll on American lives. Do these messages influence the perceived seriousness of the virus, how the president is evaluated as well as support for and compliance with social distancing guidelines? Results suggest that Republican identifiers had already crystallized their views on the virus's seriousness, the president's performance, and social distancing policies and behaviors. Unexpectedly, information critical of President Trump's policy decisions produced a backlash causing people to show less concern about the virus's death toll and rate the president's performance even more highly.

title: Electrochemical Ammonia Removal and Disinfection of Aquaculture Wastewater using Batch and Flow Reactors incorporating PtRu/Graphite Anode and Graphite Cathode

description: Ammonia removal and disinfection are two major problems in aquaculture systems, which require clean and reliable water to support long-term growth and health of target animals. In this study, we report electrochemical ammonia removal and disinfection of wastewater from an aquaculture farm (Mari’s Gardens) in Hawaii. First, we attempted to reproduce the work of Zollig et al. (2015a), who reported that direct ammonia oxidation can occur between 1 V and 1.6 V vs SHE on a graphite electrode in a solution (pH = 9.0) containing 1 M NaClO4, 0.25 M NH4ClO4, and 0.085 M NaCl. Our results, however, show that direct ammonia oxidation is unlikely to occur, at least at significant rates, on a graphite electrode in aqueous solutions (pH = 9.0) containing 0.7 M Na2SO4, 0.1 M (NH4)2SO4, and 0.02 M NaCl. We tentatively attribute this discrepancy to the different physico-chemical characteristics of graphite electrodes made by different manufacturers. Second, PtRu/graphite electrodes were prepared using a pulsed electrodeposition method, and electrode activity towards ammonia removal and disinfection was examined in both synthetic and real aquaculture wastewater using batch and flow reactors. The PtRu catalyst was partially oxidized at the beginning of electrolysis, and a significant increase in the electrode activity towards indirect ammonia oxidation was observed. Ammonia removal was slow when NaCl concentration was 0.66 mM, but the addition of NaCl (up to 20 mM) led to a drastic increase in the ammonia removal rate, indicating that ammonia removal proceeds via indirect oxidation. The ammonia removal rate depends primarily on NaCl concentration and current density and is independent of the initial ammonia concentration and solution pH. The ammonia removal rates can be modeled by pseudo zero-order kinetics, and a linear correlation can be drawn between the ammonia removal rate (k, mg L-1 min-1) and the product of NaCl concentration ([Cl-], mM) and current density (j, mA/cm2): k = 0.0047 [Cl-] j (R2 = 0.99). Free chlorine (Cl2, HOCl, and OCl-) was not detected in the solution until the complete removal of ammonia. Combined chlorine (NH2Cl, NHCl2, and NCl3) was measured at concentrations of 2 - 15 mg/L (as Cl2) during the ammonia removal process but was eliminated as soon as ammonia was depleted and an excess of free chlorine was available. Our detailed findings on the formation of both free chlorine and combined chlorine are significant to the mechanistic study of indirect ammonia oxidation. Ammonia removal experiments in synthetic and real aquaculture wastewater showed similar results. However, ammonia removal in the flow reactor took about three times longer than that in the batch reactor under similar conditions, likely due to hydrodynamic mixing differences. In addition, it was found that E. coli bacteria can be completely inactivated (5-log reduction) within a short time (e.g., 5 min).

title: Small and medium enterprises (SME) development policy based on economic society in east Java

description: SMEs have a great role in the national economy, as well as in employment absorption and distribution results, through the law No. 5 of 1999 government give the limit on SME for small businesses is a business that: a. Owns 200 million assets, excluding land and office building, b. Annual sales proceeds at most 1 billion, c. Owned by Indonesian citizens.


With these limits, it is expected that the role of government and society needs to give great attention to encourage its development. Development of SME through business empowerment approach, need to pay attention to social and cultural aspects of each region


The existence of regulations both in the form of laws and government regulations relating to SME in terms of production and banking side, will spur the role of SME in the economy. For the government, licensing is necessary to maintain public order and provide protection to the public.

title: Replication data for: The Difference Between Actual and Perceived Survey Measures and the Implications for Political Socialization Research

description: Within research on the political influence that social network members exert on one another, some studies rely on information obtained directly from different members separately, while others rely on information from one informant. We investigate the difference between actual and perceived measures by analyzing the correspondence of voting intentions within the family. On the one hand, we examine this correspondence using perceived measures of one family member. On the other hand we use the measures obtained from every family members individually. We use the results of the Parent-Child Socialization Study (PCSS), conducted among 2,085 mother-father-child triads. Our analyses suggest that using perceptual measures could lead researchers to different or even opposite conclusions than using the actual individual measures.

title: Replication data for: The Stability of Partisan Identification in the U.S. House of Representatives, 1789-1984

description: It is a basic premise of this study that politicians who switch parties are likely to do so when they are ideologically out of line with their current political party and more in agreement with the other party. Nor do we quarrel with the notion that sometimes the switch may also be related to electoral incentives. The problem lies not in these conclusions but in their utility. After all, there are many other members of congress who have never switched parties but are in as much or more ideological discomfort. Why haven't they all switched? As an ex post facto argument, these "ideological dissonance" and "personal ambition" hypotheses do correctly describe the switchers, but they do not adequately explain why these people were the ones to
switch or why they did it at the time that they did. Many of these members have been in a state of ideological dissonance for years. In each case, why did the decision to change parties occur precisely when it did? It is our intention to advance the study of party switching by providing an explanation for why switching occurs more frequently at some times and not others. Unlike the cross-sectional data used in past work, we adopt a time series approach to analyze this questions. We discuss (1) political loyalty as an important but too rarely used explanation for certain political phenomena, (2) descriptions of House party switchers, (3) the specific models and variables we will use to explain switching, and (4) the estimates from several statistical analyses that help explain when and why switching occurs. The last three sections are meant as a specific exploratory study of one aspect of political loyalty.

title: Replication Data for Investigating Sequences in Ordinal Data: A New Approach with Adapted Evolutionary Models

description: This paper presents a new approach for studying temporal sequences across ordinal variables. It involves three complementary methodologies (frequency tables, transitional graphs, and dependency tables), as well as an established adaptation based on Bayesian dynamical systems, inferring a general system of change. The frequency tables count pairs of values in two variables and transitional graphs depict changes, showing which variable tends to attain high values first. The dependency tables investigates which values of one variable are prerequisites for values in another, as a more direct test of causal hypotheses. We illustrate the proposed methods by analyzing the V-Dem dataset, and show that changes in electoral democracy are preceded by changes in freedom of expression and access to alternative information.

title: Replication Data for: Evidence-Based Transitional Justice
title: Incorporating Public Opinion into the Field, with New Data from Iraq and Ukraine

description: The field of “transitional justice” refers to a range of processes and mechanisms for accountability, truth-seeking, and reconciliation that governments and communities pursue in the aftermath of major societal traumas, including civil war, mass atrocities, and authoritarianism. This relatively new field emerged in the 1980s as scholars, practitioners, and policymakers looked for guidance to support post-authoritarian and post-communist transitions to democracy in East- ern Europe and Latin America. Since then, the field has grown rapidly—so rapidly that it is out- pacing its capacity to learn from past mistakes. Recent methodological advances in the study of public attitudes about transitional justice through quantitative surveys and qualitative interview methods provide unprecedented insights into how different mechanisms—including domestic and international prosecutions, truth commissions, amnesty laws, and compensation—are perceived by their intended beneficiaries. The results have been troubling. Numerous studies in diverse con- texts found that some of the most well-known transitional justice mechanisms, including those employed in South Africa, Rwanda, and Cambodia, failed to achieve their objectives of peacebuild- ing and reconciliation. In some cases, these policies had harmful consequences for their intended beneficiaries, including retraumatization and perceived “justice gaps” between victims’ preferred remedies and their actual outcomes.

There is an urgent need for the field of transitional justice to learn from this growing body of empirical research to develop evidence-based policies and programs that achieve their intended objectives. This Feature critically reviews the intellectual development of the field, consolidating empirical findings of relevant studies across disciplines—law, political science, sociology, econom- ics, public health, psychology, and anthropology—and identifying open debates and questions for future research. We focus on research about public attitudes toward transitional justice in the com- munities directly impacted by conflict. In addition to reviewing previous research, we present new data from original public opinion surveys in Iraq and Ukraine relevant to ongoing transitional justice efforts in those countries. We use this evidence to identify lessons learned, including mis- takes, in the design and implementation of previous transitional justice processes. We conclude by discussing the normative and prescriptive implications of our findings for efforts to improve future transitional justice laws and policies.
