title: Replication Data for: Gerrymandering and Compactness: Implementation Flexibility and Abuse

description: Political districts may be drawn to favor one group or political party over another, or gerrymandered. A number of measurements have been suggested as ways to detect and prevent such behavior. These measures give concrete axes along which districts and districting plans can be compared. However, measurement values are affected by both noise and the compounding effects of seemingly innocuous implementation decisions. Such issues will arise for any measure. As a case study demonstrating the effect, we show that commonly-used measures of geometric compactness for district boundaries are affected by several factors irrelevant to fairness or compliance with civil rights law. We further show that an adversary could manipulate measurements to affect the assessment of a given plan. This instability complicates using these measurements as legislative or judicial standards to counteract unfair redistricting practices. This paper accompanies the release of packages in C++, Python, and R that correctly, efficiently, and reproducibly calculate a variety of compactness scores.

title: Replication Data for: Boilerplate in International Trade Agreements

description: New international agreements often recycle language from previous agreements, using boilerplate solutions alongside customized provisions. The presence of boilerplate in international agreements has important implications for understanding how international rules are made. The determinants behind boilerplate in international agreements have not previously been systematically evaluated. Using original data from a sample of 348 preferential trade agreements (PTAs) adopted between 1989 and 2009, we combine novel text analysis measures with Latent Order Logistic (LOLOG) graph network techniques to assess the determinants behind boilerplate in labor and environmental provisions commonly found in PTAs. Our results indicate that whereas boilerplate can be used for both efficiency and distributive purposes, international boilerplate is used primarily for efficiency gains and power-distribution considerations are not systematically important.

title: Economic Liberalism in Illiberal Regimes: Authoritarian Variation and the Political Economy of Trade

description: Over the last few decades, a vast literature has emerged examining the relationship between democratic political institutions and trade policy outcomes. While this literature has added significantly to our knowledge, it has effectively ignored policymaking in dozens of important states—those that remain autocratic. This paper fills that hole by exploring the effects of authoritarian variation on national trade policies. Our contention is that more institutionalized authoritarian regimes will tend to adopt more open trade policies. This relationship should hold, we argue, for two distinct reasons. First, we argue that autocratic regimes with larger “selectorates” should have greater incentives to provide public rather than private goods. As a result, we expect that multiparty, and to a lesser extent single-party, autocracies will tend to prefer more open trade policies than non-party (often personalistic) dictatorships, monarchies, and military juntas. Second, we contend that more stable autocratic regimes will have longer time horizons and therefore greater incentives to adopt policies, such as trade openness, that may strengthen long-run economic performance. We find strong support for these arguments using several cross-national time-series models of all autocracies ranging from 1962 to 2007 (contingent on data availability).

title: Welfare, Egalitarianism, and Polarization: The Politics of Noncontributory Social Programs

description: This study analyzes the link between egalitarian ideals and the rise in party polarization in Congress. To demonstrate how philosophical differences over conceptions of fairness, equality, and justice helps explain the recent growth in partisanship over the past few decades, I argue one overlooked explanatory factor which assists in capturing this ideological rift is noncontributory welfare spending. Recovering annual ideal point estimates between 1947 and 2018 that are comparable with annual federal spending, I use multivariate time series models and find convincing evidence which suggests welfare outlays have a strong short and long-run effect on polarization. Moreover, analysis of the roll call record also shows when ideal point estimates are recovered by specific policy area, lawmakers exhibit higher levels of ideological separation on welfare compared to, among others, policies such as defense and transportation. Robustness checks confirm these findings also hold even when controlling for income inequality.

title: Validating Indicators of Family Planning, Maternal and Newborn Care – Cambodia, Bangladesh and Kenya

description: The overarching objective of the study is to improve the monitoring of the quality of maternal, newborn and family planning services through identifying and validating a set of indicators that can be accurately self-reported by women. The main research question is: can accurate information on the quality and content of received maternal and newborn care be self-reported by women in a survey format? The results of the study will inform the recommendation of a select number of indicators for regular use in household surveys as well as strategies to improve data collection. Specifically, the study assesses the accuracy of women’s reports of indicators of antenatal (ANC), family planning (FP) or maternal and newborn postnatal care (PNC). The study also provides insight into factors that are associated with the accuracy of reporting such as: visit number (e.g., first ANC or PNC visit, or follow-up), client age, prior parity, education level and infant age (for PNC visit). 

The study design for validation analyses relies on secondary analysis of matched observation and client interview data. We compare women’s reports of care received at exit interview to observation by a trained third-party observer using a structured checklist. Women’s reports of care received were collected via exit interview prior to her leaving the health facility following a health visit for herself or her newborn in health facilities located in Bangladesh, Cambodia and Kenya. Data were originally collected as part of an evaluation of a voucher and accreditation intervention led by the Population Council in Bangladesh, Cambodia and Kenya. The primary objective of the evaluation was to assess the influence of the voucher program on family planning and maternal and newborn health service utilization. A secondary objective of the voucher program was to determine whether the voucher program improved service quality by verifying service delivery through reimbursements to providers.

title: How the spatial distribution of the Hungarian TOP 500 companies affects regional development: an examination of income generation at subnational scale

description: The research paper emphasizes the importance of export from the aspect of economic development. In the first part, the theoretical background of the regional development connected to export-led growth is introduced. As a bridge between the theoretical and empirical part, the territorial sense of export data and economic spaces is highlighted. In connection to the research, actual domestic 
research examining spatial differences and inequalities in Hungary is presented. The reviewed researches (Dusek–Lukács–Rácz 2014, Nemes Nagy–Tagai 2011, Obádovics 2013, Pénzes 2012) concur on the main territorial features in Hungary: territorial hegemony of the capital, increasing differences between the capital and rural areas, emergence of the ‘West–East decline’, and varied development patterns of micro-regions a nd settlements. Dusek–Lukács–Rácz (2014) describe the regional disparities in the country on NUTS-2 level, pointing out that Central Hungary is the most advanced region of Hungary, followed by Western Transdanubia and Central Transdanubia, and with significant lag, Southern Transdanubia, Southern Great Plain, Northern Great Plain and Northern Hungary trail the list. In the primary research, the aim is to explore the conditions of export-led growth in Hungary, and through an examination of the spatial distribution of the 500 companies with the best sales performance (TOP 500 list) an attempt is made to demonstrate the reasons for 
regional inequalities in Hungary. The other scope of the research is to demonstrate the concentration of different sectors in NUTS-3 level, as well as highlighting their export orientation. Furthermore research examines associations between different measures. The pool of data used for carrying out the research is derived from HVG (Heti Világgazdaság – a dominant economic weekly review in Hungary) about the first 500 companies with the best sales performance in 2012 (the TOP 500 companies) and from the Hungarian Central Statistical Office. Our research findings emphasize the importance of export for regional development (export-led growth), and resembles the secondary research outcomes about the development of NUTS-2 and NUTS-3 regions.

title: Replication data for: Understanding Interaction Models: Improving Empirical Analyses

description: 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 well. Although conditional hypotheses are ubiquitous in political science and multiplicative interaction models have been found to capture their intuition quite well, a survey of the top three political science journals from 1998 to 2002 suggests that the execution of these models is often flawed and inferential errors are common. We believe that considerable progress in our understanding of the political world can occur if scholars follow the simple checklist of dos and don’ts for using multiplicative interaction models presented in this article. Only 10% of the articles in our survey followed the checklist.

title: Replication Data for: "Experience Counts: The Chief Justice, Management Tenure, and Strategic Behavior on the U.S. Supreme Court"

description: Data and Stata code for replicating reported analysis.

Abstract

We develop and test a theoretical account of the effect of management tenure on the strategic behavior of the Chief Justice of the United States. Substantial evidence from a variety of learning models and the public management literature indicates that tenure (length of service) is positively related to management performance in public organizations. This suggests that the chief justice’s tenure in office should be positively related to efficiency in the use of the chief justice’s formal powers. We assess this hypothesis by replicating and extending Johnson, Spriggs, and Wahlbeck’s (2005) study of Chief Justice Burger’s conference voting behavior. The data support our management tenure hypothesis, showing that Burger used greater discretion in reserving his conference vote over time as he became more adept at discriminating between circumstances when the tactic was strategically valuable and when it was not.

title: Replication Data for: The effect of psychological bias on public officials’ attitudes toward the implementation of policy instruments: evidence from survey experiments

description: As implementers, public officials have historically enjoyed substantial influence in the public policy process, but little attention has been paid to the effect of psychological elements on their attitudes toward implementing policy instruments. The authors argue that from a behavioral public administration perspective, public officials’ attitudes toward implementing certain policy instruments are not rational, but instead biased. Using two survey experiments on 1,024 Chinese public officials, this study examines the cognitive and motivational bias of public officials’ attitudes toward implementing policy instruments. The findings indicate that when public officials are presented with risk information in a negative framing, they are more reluctant to implement indirect policy instruments than direct ones, and this phenomenon becomes more pronounced when their public interest orientation is activated, rather than their personal interest orientation. The findings contribute to the theoretical understanding of the effect of psychological biases on public officials’ attitudes toward policy implementation.
