title: Replication data for: Explaining Systematic Bias and Nontransparency in US Social Security Administration Forecasts

description: The accuracy of U.S. Social Security Administration (SSA) demographic and financial forecasts is crucial for the solvency of its Trust Funds, other government programs, industry decision making, and the evidence base of many scholarly articles. Because SSA makes public little replication information and uses qualitative and antiquated statistical forecasting methods, fully independent alternative forecasts (and the ability to score policy proposals to change the system) are nonexistent. Yet, no systematic evaluation of SSA forecasts has ever been published by SSA or anyone else --- until a companion paper to this one (King, Kashin, and Soneji, 2015a). We show that SSA's forecasting errors were approximately unbiased until about 2000, but then began to grow quickly, with increasingly overconfident uncertainty intervals. Moreover, the errors are all in the same potentially dangerous direction, making the Social Security Trust Funds look healthier than they actually are. We extend and then attempt to explain these findings with evidence from a large number of interviews we conducted with participants at every level of the forecasting and policy processes. We show that SSA's forecasting procedures meet all the conditions the modern social-psychology and statistical literatures demonstrate make bias likely. When those conditions mixed with potent new political forces trying to change Social Security, SSA's actuaries hunkered down trying hard to insulate their forecasts from strong political pressures. Unfortunately, this otherwise laudable resistance to undue influence, along with their ad hoc qualitative forecasting models, led the actuaries to miss important changes in the input data. Retirees began living longer lives and drawing benefits longer than predicted by simple extrapolations. We also show that the solution to this problem involves SSA or Congress implementing in government two of the central projects of political science over the last quarter century: [1] promoting transparency in data and methods and [2] replacing with formal statistical models large numbers of qualitative decisions too complex for unaided humans to make optimally.

title: Consumer Protection Survey of Digital Finance Users: Kenya

description: Researchers at Innovations for Poverty Action partnered with the Competition Authority of Kenya (CAK) to conduct a phone-based survey among users of digital financial services (DFS), including mobile money, mobile banking, and mobile loans. The survey covered consumers' experiences with DFS, preferences over service providers and levels of trust, price awareness and transparency, fraud and dispute resolution, and questions measuring financial security during the pandemic. The findings will help CAK develop strategies to protect consumers from fraud and to address and redress complaints. Additionally, results will guide researchers on which consumer protection topics need further investigation.

title: HAALSI Wave 1 Dried Blood Spot for C-Reactive Protein

description: The Health and Aging in Africa: A Longitudinal Study of an INDEPTH Community in South Africa (HAALSI) study is a population-based survey implemented by the Harvard Center for Population and Development Studies and the MRC/Wits Rural Public Health and Health Transitions Research Unit of the University of the Witwatersrand. HAALSI aims to examine and characterize a population of older men and women in rural South Africa with respect to health, physical and cognitive function, aging, and well-being, in harmonization with other Health and Retirement Studies. The Wave 1 survey was conducted in November 2014-November 2015 among 5,059 men and women aged 40 years or older, who were randomly sampled from within the existing framework of the Agincourt health and socio-demographic surveillance system (AHDSS), in rural Mpumalanga province, South Africa. The survey was administered by local field workers in Shangaan at the participants' homes using computer-assisted personal interviewing (CAPI). Extensive survey data was collected on cognitive and physical functioning, social networks, cardiometabolic disease and risk factors, HIV and HIV risk, and economic well-being. The survey also included anthropometric measures and point-of-care blood tests for hemoglobin, glucose and lipids, as well as collection of dried blood spots (DBS). This dataset contains only the C-Reactive Protein (CRP) values assayed from the DBS during the HAALSI Wave 1 survey. The data may be merged to the HAALSI survey data using the unique identifier (prim_key).

title: ICEWS Dictionaries

description: The ICEWS dictionaries contain both named individuals or groups, known as actors, and generic individuals or groups, known as agents. Actors are known by a specific name, such as 'Free Syrian Army' or 'Goodluck Johnathan', while agents are known by a generic improper noun, such as 'insurgents' or 'students'. Both actors and agents have time-dependent affiliations with another actor (in the case of an individual being a member of an organization, for example), a country or other autonomous region, or with a general sector/role, such as 'Military' or 'Government'. Also included in the dictionaries are aliases that an actor or agent might be known by. In the case of actors, these are typically alternate spellings of a person's name, while for agents they are typically synonyms.

title: Longitudinal Study of Career Development in College-Educated Women, 1967-1981

description: This study was designed to identify the background, personality, or college experience characteristics that distinguished those women who aspire to enter occupations dominated by men from those women who choose careers in which women are well represented.
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; In 1967, a subsample of 200 women seniors were chosen from those tested as first-year students in 1963 in the "Michigan Student Study: A Study of Students in a Multiversity" (see Gurin, Log# 00002).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; In 1967, an extensive questionnaire was administered to these students. One hundred eighteen of the 200 women agreed to complete additional projective tests to measure personality variables. The questionnaire covered the following areas: (1) educational and occupational achievement of the respondent's parents, and the characteristics of childhood family life; (2) college experiences, including interaction with faculty members, and involvement in extracurricular activities; (3) interests, attitudes, and beliefs of the respondent; and (4) respondent's desires and expectations regarding future life work. The projective personality testing consisted of six verbal cues, four of which were scored for need for achievement and motive to avoid success.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; In 1970, 152 of the initial sample of women were recontacted. The interview/questionnaire concentrated on the respondent's educational and occupational experiences and expectations since graduation from college, and also attempted to characterize the participant's current family circumstances (whether married, with children, and so on). In 1981, a follow-up of 117 of the participants was also conducted. The instruments used included four projective cues and an extensive questionnaire which explored career aspirations, support systems, and the role of work, marriage, and motherhood.
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; The Murray Research Archive hold numeric data files from all three periods of data collection, as well as the completed questionnaires from the 1970 and 1981 data collections and the projective stories from the 1967 follow-up.

title: Flyer plate impact 2

description: (Note: this is the same simulation setup as the "Flyer plate impact 1" dataset in this dataverse, but includes 20000 simulations instead of 1000 simulations of each experiment.) Al-Al flyer plate simulations for three experiments. Simulations are velocity (m/s) as a function of time (us). The three experiments are labeled 104, 105, and 106. Simulations of each of the three experiments have 200 outputs (a time series), 11 inputs, and 20000 observations. The file flyer_sim_104_outputs.csv contains velocity simulations for each of the 200 time points across each of the 20000 simulations for experiment 104. The same structure is repeated for experiments 105 and 106. The inputs are in flyer_sim_inputs.csv (common to all three experiments). See Walters et al. (2018) for more details about the inputs and simulation configuration. The "Flyer plate impact 1" dataset in this dataverse also includes the 200 time points for each set of simulations and the observations (time and velocity).

title: Replication Data for: The Role of the Information Environment in Partisan Voting

description: Voters are often highly dependent on partisanship to structure their preferences toward political candidates and policy proposals. What conditions enable partisan cues to “dominate” public opinion? Here I theorize that variation in voters’ reliance on partisanship results, in part, from the opportunities their environment provides to learn about politics. A conjoint experiment and an observational study of voting in congressional elections both support the expectation that more detailed information environments reduce the role of partisanship in candidate choice. These findings clarify previously unexplained cross-study variation in party cue effects. They also challenge competing claims that partisan cues inhibit responsiveness to such a degree that voters fail to use other information or that high-information environments increase voter reliance on partisanship.

title: Women's Reformatory Study, 1921-1925

description: The Women's Reformatory Study sought to examine the lives of women criminal offenders on several levels. The study aimed to look at the childhood, adolescence, and adulthood backgrounds of offenders in terms of their physical, psychological, and social characteristics, and to determine the effect of the Reformatory experience on subsequent post-Reformatory adjustments in work and family, and on the incidence of crime desistance.
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Five hundred women were studied in order to assess the overall effectiveness of correctional treatment. Information concerning the personal, family, reformatory, and parole history of these women was gleaned from reformatory and parole records, and interviews with the subjects as well as their relatives, acquaintances, and employers.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

The data gathered consisted of information covering the time up to the end of the parole period and information covering the five year period after the expiration of the reformatory sentence. Variables assessed related to personal history; family history; reformatory history; parole history; and follow-up history.
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

The Murray Archive holds additional analogue materials for this study (record paper data for baseline data collection and at the five-year post-parole follow-up). The data are also available in microfiche format. If you would like to access this material, please apply to use the data.

title: Replication Data for: Indirect Rule and Public Goods Provision: Evidence from Colonial India

description: This paper contributes to the conflicting literature about indirect rule by delivering a new theoretical explanation for the persistent e ects of indirect rule on contemporary provision of public goods. It looks at a single region of India which has areas that his- torically experienced both direct and dindirect rule. The theoretical mechanism focuses on the principal-agent problem and the incentives that it produces for local leaders. Unlike local princes, colonizers were under stricter oversight and had to be more ac- countable to the top due to the obligations to extract resources. A spatial regression discontinuity design is used to compare directly and indirectly ruled territories. The empirical results show that indirect rule has predominantly long-term negative effects on the provision of selected public goods.

title: The Political Determinants of Foreign Direct Investment: A Firm-Level Analysis

description: Many large-N cross-national studies claim to show that political institutions and phenomena determine where foreign direct investment (FDI) flows. In this article, I argue that these studies tend to overemphasize statistical significance and often neglect to assess the explanatory or predictive power of their theories. To illustrate the problem, I estimate variations of a statistical model published in an influential article on “Political Risk, Institutions, and FDI.” I find that none of the political variables that the authors consider accounts for much of the variation in aggregate FDI inflows. To ensure that this underwhelming result is not driven by misspecification or measurement error, I leverage a large firm-level data set on the investment location decisions of thousands of multinational firms. Using nonparametric machine-learning techniques and out-of-sample tests, I show that gravity variables can help us develop very accurate expectations about firm behavior but that none of the 31 “political determinants” of FDI that I consider can do much to improve our expectations. These findings have important implications because they suggest that governments retain some room to move in the face of economic globalization.

title: Replication Data for: Girl soldiering in rebel groups, 1989–2013:Introducing a new dataset

description: Most existing work assumes that child soldiers are under-aged males. Girl soldiers have largely been neglected so far, although they frequently have important roles in rebel groups. One reason for this shortcoming has been the lack of comprehensive and systematic data on female child soldiers over a larger time period. To address this gap, the following article introduces the Girl Child Soldier Dataset (G-CSDS), which provides – based on academic, IGO, NGO, government, and media sources – information on the number of girl soldiers and their functions (supporters or combatants) in rebel groups between 1989 and 2013. The dataset can be easily combined with other data based on the Uppsala Conflict Data Program (UCDP), and we demonstrate its usefulness with descriptive statistics and a regression analysis that is informed by previous research on women’s participation in armed groups. Among other interesting findings, the corresponding results suggest that there are crucial differences between girl combatants and those active in more supportive roles. We conclude that the G-CSDS provides a central platform of easily accessible
information that will be useful to scholars and practitioners working on civil conflict, human rights, armed groups, or demobilization, disarmament, and reintegration (DDR) programs.

title: Replication Data for: Contagion from abroad. How party entry in Western Europe is influenced by party family members abroad, 1961-2016

description: New parties are a key mechanism behind party system innovation as voters are offered new choices. To explain party entry (i.e., participation in a lower house election for the first time), the state-of-the-art has typically focused on domestic determinants. This, however, assumes that party entry takes place in an international vacuum. Building on the policy diffusion literature, we explore how party family members abroad influence party entry in the focal country. Based on a new dataset on the evolution of each party family in 17 Western European party systems between 1961 and 2016, including 2191 new parties, our mixed-methods approach combining spatial econometric models with pathway case analysis demonstrates that party entry is influenced by the entry and electoral success of their party family abroad. This has important implications for the literature on party entry and the international diffusion of policy platforms.
