title: Replication Data for: Are Republicans Bad for the Environment?

description: While many studies of environmental policy control for partisanship in elected officials, there has been little direct examination of what impacts partisan leadership has on environmental policymaking and management within the U.S. federal system. Using a dataset that tracks toxic releases over 25 years, we examine how partisan control of executive and legislative branches at both state- and federal-level impacts environmental policy. We find that the conventional wisdom that Republicans are bad for the environment to have some validity, but it is dependent on what offices Republican elected officials occupy. More specifically, Republicans only have an impact on toxic chemical releases when occupying executive offices. While governors have a stronger impact, presidents have a more consistent impact, which suggests governors have more vertical and horizontal checks and balances to hurdle when implementing an anti-environmental agenda. Our conclusions provide further insight into understanding how partisanship affects environmental outcomes.

title: Replication Data for: How State Responses to Economic Crisis Shape Income Inequality and Financial Well-Being

description: This study examines how state government responses to economic crisis, in the form of unexpected changes in state fiscal policy, influence income inequality. State governments are vital actors in times of fiscal stress since nearly every state must make difficult policy decisions related taxes and spending to address budget deficits, both of which are policies that shape the income gap. Focusing on periods of fiscal stress is important for the study of state inequality since those with fewer resources are the most likely to experience the consequences of their state's fiscal response during these times. Using time-series cross-sectional data, this research demonstrates that income inequality increases when states respond to economic crisis by relying on unexpected spending cuts. These effects tend to persist even after initial economic downturns. Additionally, one individual-level implication of the aggregate relationship between state policy responses and inequality -- that people will be worse off financially when their states emphasize budget cuts in response to economic decline -- is assessed using several post-Great Recession surveys. The findings have implications for the future of inequality in the U.S. and provide potential paths for state fiscal reform.

title: Replication Data for: Measuring Constituency Ideology Using Bayesian Universal Kriging

description: In this project, we develop measures of ideology for states, congressional districts, and state legislative districts in the United States. We do this using a training dataset from the 2008 Cooperative Congressional Election Study and a forecasting dataset from the 2010 Census. Readers who only want our output measures of public ideology in 2010 need only download four files: stateWholeKrigingFine.csv for the 50 states, congKrigingFine.csv for congressional districts, stateLowerKrigingFine.csv for lower chamber districts of state legislatures, stateUpperKrigingFine.csv for upper chamber districts of state legislatures.

title: Replication Data for: Financial Incentives in Vertical Diffusion: The Variable Effects of Obama’s Race to the Top Initiative on State Policy Making

description: A substantial body of empirical work documents the influence of federal monies on state policymaking. Less attention, however, has been paid to the conditioning effects of states’ prior financial health. Nearly always, apportioned monies cover only a fraction of the costs of federal policy reforms. The capacity of states to deploy supplementary resources, therefore, may inform the willingness of states to comply with the federal government’s policy objectives. Focusing on Barack Obama’s Race to the Top Initiative (RttT), we present new evidence that state responses to federal initiatives that carry financial rewards systematically vary with the amount of resources already on hand. States that survived the Great Recession with their education budgets largely intact, we find, tended to implement more RttT reforms overall, and especially more reforms that required substantial up-front financial commitments. These patterns of policy adoptions can be meaningfully attributed to RttT, are not the result of either prior or ancillary policy trends, and speak to the general importance of accounting for what states already have, above and beyond what the federal government is willing to offer, when studying the financial incentives of vertical diffusion.

title: Replication Data for: Chasing Disparity: Economic Development Incentives and Income Inequality in the U.S. States

description: Scholars have traditionally looked at the role of welfare and tax policies in shaping income inequality. Less attention has been paid to the key policy area of economic development. But, states spend billions on economic development incentives each year in order to encourage firms to locate in their state. I argue that increased incentive spending could lead to increased inequality through a market conditioning effect or a redistributive effect. These mechanisms are tested using data on incentive spending and inequality across the fifty states from 1999-2014. The findings demonstrate that incentives increase income inequality by reducing redistribution over the long run. Despite using economic development incentives to try to generate greater prosperity, state governments may be inadvertently exacerbating inequality.

title: Replication Data for: State Policy and Lobbying in a Federal System: Evidence from the Production Tax Credit for Renewable Energy, 1998-2012

description: State policies shape firms’ incentives to lobby in the United States, but the existing lobbying literature mostly ignores these incentives. Using lobbying records for all electric utilities in the United States from 1998 to 2012, we examine how state policies affect federal lobbying by both proponents and opponents of federal support for the renewable energy policy. Our theory predicts that supportive state policies reduce the returns to lobbying by both proponents and opponents. Empirically, we show that when the federal production tax credit for renewable energy is about to expire, electric utilities from states without renewable portfolio standards become more likely to lobby than those from states with these policies. Because the timing of the expiration of the production tax credit is quasi-random, these findings carry a causal interpretation. Using text analysis techniques, we also show that the lobbying efforts are focused on energy and environmental issues while lobbying on unrelated topics remains unaffected.

title: Replication Data for: A Regression Discontinuity Design for Studying Divided Government

description: The regression discontinuity design (RDD) is a valuable tool for identifying causal effects with observational data. However, applying the traditional electoral RDD to the study of divided government is challenging. Because assignment to treatment in this case is the result of elections to multiple institutions, there is no obvious single forcing variable. Here we use simulations in which we apply shocks to real-world election results in order to generate two measures of the likelihood of divided government, both of which can be used for causal analysis. The first captures the electoral distance to divided government and can easily be utilized in conjunction with the standard sharp RDD toolkit. The second is a simulated probability of divided government. This measure does not easily fit into a sharp RDD framework, so we develop a probability restricted design (PRD) which relies upon the underlying logic of an RDD. This design incorporates common regression techniques but limits the sample to to those observations for which assignment to treatment approaches “as-if random.” To illustrate both of our approaches, we reevaluate the link between divided government and the size of budget deficits.

title: Replication Data for: Partisan Politics and Public Education: Finding the Formula for (Electoral) Success

description: Do state politicians reward school districts that vote in favor of the party in power more than school districts that vote in favor of opposing party? With large shares of money at the state level to transfer to local governments and the ability to target core voters, it would seem likely that politicians would take advantage of the ability to distribute education funds. However, in understanding how states distribute education funds, little emphasis is given to partisan influences, particularly the congruence between local school districts and the state level. To test this, I collected data at the precinct level within each state, and using mapping software, spatially joined precinct boundaries to school district boundaries. Once this relationship was established, I aggregated precinct level information to school districts to understand the partisan voting patterns within each school district for elections from 2000 to 2010. This article finds evidence that funding formulas are susceptible to political influence and that parties are able to influence the geographic distribution of education funds to core voters.

title: Replication Data for: Can We Reduce Deception in Elite Field Experiments? Evidence from a Field Experiment with State Legislative Offices

description: The use of deception is common in elite correspondence audit studies. Elite audit studies are a type of field experiment used by researchers to test for discrimination against vulnerable populations seeking to access government resources. These studies have provided invaluable insights, but they have done so at the cost of using deception. They have relied on identity, activity and motivation deception. In addition, they request unnecessary work. Is there a less deceptive alternative? In this manuscript I present results from a field experiment with state legislative offices that minimizes the use of deception. Consistent with elite correspondence audit studies, I find evidence of discrimination against Hispanics among state legislative offices. Additionally, I find that discrimination is mitigated when subjects believe their behavior will be public knowledge. This suggests that discrimination can be mitigated through increased monitoring. This manuscript advances the discussion on how to minimize the use of deception in elite field experimentation and how to mitigate discrimination against vulnerable populations.

title: Replication Data for: Stare Decisis and the Electoral Connection: Do Retention Systems Affect Judges’ Deference to Precedent?

description: Using data from nearly 5,000 votes cast by more than 400 judges in courts of last resort from all fifty states, we investigate whether there is a relationship between a state’s judicial retention method and the likelihood that a judge votes to join a precedent-overturning majority. We find that relative to judges retained by institutions such as judicial commissions or state legislatures, those retained via either partisan or retention elections are significantly more likely to join majorities that overturn precedent. Most of this effect is due to behavior in high-profile cases that garner media attention. We find little evidence that an impending election moderates these effects. Finally, we find no evidence that judges retained via non-partisan elections treat precedent differently than their institutionally retained colleagues.

title: Replication Data for: The Source of the Legislative Professionalism Advantage: Attracting More Knowledgeable Candidates

description: Legislators who know their constituents’ opinions are more likely to be successful in providing substantive representation on issues of the day. However, previous work suggests that state legislators and candidates commonly misestimate their constituents’ preferences. Some of that work also finds that candidates and current incumbents in highly professionalized legislatures are less likely to misestimate constituent opinion. We investigate why this professionalism advantage exists. We use a Blinder-Oaxaca decomposition to determine how much of the professionalism advantage can be attributed to three sources: attracting knowledgeable candidates, fostering legislator knowledge in office, and retaining incumbents. We apply the decomposition to data on candidates’ perceptions of public opinion from the 2014 National Candidate Survey. Fostering knowledge in office and retaining incumbents are not responsible for the professionalism advantage. We find evidence that the professional- ism advantage occurs because higher professionalism legislatures attract more knowledgeable non-incumbent candidates.

title: Experimental study of the flow patterns in a street during drainage or overflow to or from drains

description: The flow patterns in a street are investigated in the case of flow exchanges with the sewer. The experimental facility includes one street and one circular pipe located below eventually connected by one or two drains. Compared to the runs without drain or with drainage, overflow creates a strong (up to 50%) increase of the streamwise velocity in the street, particularly, near the bottom, and a high degree of turbulence close to the drains and downstream. For overflow from one drain, the rearrangement of the flow is marked by an asymmetrical pattern with a main secondary current moving across the street; this latter pattern disappears when two drains are present. In field conditions, such an increase is likely to permit entrainment of people and cars by the flow. The experimental data sets could help to validate detailed CFD models aiming at extending the latter results in various flooding conditions.

title: Replication Data for: Diversity and Power: Selection Method and Its Impacts on State Executive Descriptive Representation

description: This paper explores diversity within top leadership positions in state governments, specifically, the role that position selection method plays in promoting the inclusion of racial and ethnic minorities into positions of power. We hypothesize that minorities will be more likely to serve in appointed positions as governors consider diversity in making appointments and less likely to serve in elected positions due to the additional hurdles for candidates of color. Using an original dataset of state executive leaders from 2001 to 2017 from all 50 states, we find evidence that institutional design influences levels of diversity among state executive leaders. Racial and ethnic minorities are more likely to be appointed than elected to state executive leadership positions. Additionally, we find that Democratic governors are more likely than Republican governors to appoint minorities. Ultimately, this evidence is important for understanding how institutional design can have consequences for descriptive representation, specifically for groups that have been historically excluded from political life.

title: Replication Data for: The Legislative Matching Game: Committee Matching and Effective Legislating in the States

description: I argue that the value of a particular set of committee assignments for a legislator is dependent on that legislator's policy interests. By this, I mean that "good" assignments will match committee policy jurisdictions with member policy priorities. I develop this concept of committee-agenda matching and present a measure of this match for legislators in 12 state lower chambers. After some brief measure validation, I present a substantive application, demonstrating that this match poses serious consequences for individual legislator's ability to shepherd their bills through the legislative process.

title: Replication Data for: Do Term Limits “Limit” the Speaker? Examining the Effects of Legislative Term Limits on State Speaker Power

description: What is the role of legislative term limits in the structure of legislative institutions? Using Mooney’s (2012) collective action problem theoretical framework on legislative leadership power, I claim that legislative term limits should be a key determinant in a state Speaker’s power via the delegation of institutional tools that control the lawmaking process. Speakers can use these tools to influence policy outcomes and their colleagues. I test this expectation in an analysis of lower chamber rules in nearly all states between 1981 and 2015. The results indicate that states with implemented term limits are associated with a more powerful Speaker. These findings suggest that a more nuanced relationship between legislative term limits and leadership power exist than previously thought.

title: Replication Data for: Judicial Reform in the American States: The Chief Justice as Political Advocate

description: The state courts of last resort are vital components of American judicial system, disposing of many important legal matters. The chief justices of these courts serve consequential roles in these institutions. Although scholars have examined the selection and duties of states’ chief justices, their interactions with the elected branches are understudied. We focus on how chief justices on state high courts use their roles to encourage judicial reform. Specifically, we examine the determinants of chief justices’ successes or failures as advocates for their justice systems. To analyze why chief justices succeed or fail as reform advocates, we analyze the fate of reform proposals offered in state of the judiciary addresses. Our results indicate that greater ideological similarity between the state legislature and chief justice or state supreme court median increases the odds of an agenda item being enacted. We also find that the scope of a policy request influences the likelihood it will be granted.

title: Replication Data for: Why Do People Trust their State Government?

description: Are the origins of trust in state government different from the reasons why people trust the national government? I argue that trust in state government has distinctive origins, tied to differences in how states operate within a federal system of government. Leveraging variations in the character of the states, I consider whether trust in state government is a function of its proximity to citizens, people’s relative preferences for smaller government, and the homogeneity of state electorates. Using responses to the 2017 Cooperative Congressional Election Study, I show feelings of trust in state government follow not only from state political conditions and economic performance, but also the distinctive character of the states. These findings challenge prior accounts that argue that diffuse trust in state government reflects only how people feel about the national government, and highlight how large states and small states face different challenges in cultivating trust in state government.
