title: Replication Data for: A Logical Model for Predicting Minority Representation: Application to Redistricting and Voting Rights Cases

description: Understanding when and why minority candidates emerge and win in particular districts entails critical implications for redistricting and the Voting Rights Act. I introduce a quantitatively predictive logical model of minority candidate emergence and electoral success --- a mathematical formula based on deductive logic that can logically explain and accurately predict the exact probability at which minority candidates run for office and win in given districts. I show that the logical model can predict about 90% of minority candidate emergence and 95% of electoral success by leveraging unique data of mayoral elections in Louisiana from 1986 to 2016 and state legislative general elections in 36 states from 2012 and 2014. I demonstrate that the logical model can be used to answer many important questions about minority representation in redistricting and voting rights cases. All applications can be easily implemented via an open-source software logical.

title: Unearthing unevenness of potato seed networks in the high Andes: a comparison of distinct cultivar groups and farmer types following seasons with and without acute stress

description: The purpose of the research was to understand the fine-grained dynamics underlying potato seed networks in a center of crop origin and biodiversity, the central Andes of Peru, by differentiating between seasons with and without acute stress (i.e. frost, late blight), cultivar groups, and farmer types. 

Cultivar groups were classified into (i) bred varieties, (ii) commercial floury landraces, (iii) non-commercial floury landraces (single cultivars), (iv) non-commercial floury landraces (mixed cultivars), and (v) bitter landraces. Farmer types were classified as (i) general farmers, (ii) seed specialists, and (iii) custodian farmers. 

We documented seed provisions and acquisitions through the application of a semi-structured survey to 336 households in 2014-2015 in two main regions of the Peruvian central Andes: Huancavelica and Pasco-Junin.

Farmers self-determined the most recent seasons with and without acute stress, specified the cause of the stress (i.e. frost, hail, late blight, drought), and described seed transactions for each season. The survey consisted of ten sections: (i) socioeconomic data; (ii) cropping season; iii) cultivar-level procurement; iv) seed volumes; v) specific seed sources and sinks; vi) social relationship to providers and clients; vii) seed transaction types; viii) place (s) of seed transaction; ix) seed destination/origin; x) quality guarantee of seed (including certification). For each respondent, every single transaction of seed acquisition and provision was recorded as a separate entry.

Results confirm that seed networks are uneven and distinct for cultivar groups and farmer types. The study details the adaptations the system makes in the aftermath of acute stress and assesses the implications of its dynamics for conservation. Seed networks did re-organize following seasons with acute seed stress. A notable shift involved a contraction of seed networks within sub-regional clusters. Following stress, the directionality of seed provision versus acquisition inverts. We conclude that the self-regulatory capacity of farmer seed networks represents a strong safety net through which smallholders can respond to crop failure and seed stress.

title: Cheap Talk and Party Organizations in State Legislatures

description: This paper addresses the issue of “cheap talk” in the legislative process. Specifically, it asks the question, “under what conditions do legislators introduce a large volume of bills, most of which are not likely to become law?” We introduce a new variable, party organizations, into Gamm and Kousser’s (2010) investigation of bill introductions in state legislatures. We find tentative support that party organizations decrease the number of bills introduced per member by altering members’ incentives for engaging in cheap talk.

title: Replication Data for: E-government service quality, perceived value, satisfaction, and loyalty: Evidence from a newly emerging country

description: This study examines the relationships between e-government service quality, citizen perceived value, citizen satisfaction, and citizen loyalty towards e-government services. Survey data were collected from 340 randomly selected e-government service users in Vietnam. The results reveal that (1) e-government service quality consists of five dimensions: ease of interaction, fulfillment, citizen care, security and privacy, and trustworthiness, (2) among the five dimensions of e-government service quality, only trustworthiness and fulfillment are significantly related to perceived value; however, trustworthiness has a stronger association with perceived value than does fulfillment, and (3) both perceived value and satisfaction are positively related to loyalty. The results indicate that the e-government can create value for the citizens by improving service quality, which may help satisfy citizens' needs and build their loyalty.

title: Replication data for: Does Decentralization Improve Perceptions of Accountability? Attitudinal Evidence from Colombia

description: Decentralization is argued to create incentives for local and regional politicians to be more responsive and accountable to their constituents, but few studies have directly tested this claim. We use survey data from Colombia to examine individual-level evaluations of the degree to which decentralization prompts citizens to view department government as more accountable. We estimate the effect of administrative, fiscal, and political decentralization, controlling for participation, political knowledge, confidence in government, education, and income on perceptions of accountability. Our results indicate that administrative and fiscal decentralization improve perceptions of accountability, while political decentralization does not.

title: Dissemination of Submergence-Tolerant Varieties and Associated New Production Practices to Southeast Asia

description: This is a household baseline survey that will measure ex-post and ex-ante economic impact of submergence to the rice farming communities in Southeast Asia. The survey has 1,173 samples that collected rice, non-rice and non-farm economic activities and production output during flood and non-flood years. Demographic characteristics, land holding, rice and non-rice production, sources of income and production practices are some of the basic variables used in the survey. In addition, mitigating measures during flood year and gender roles were also collected.

title: Replication Data for: The Two-Way Effects of Populism on Affective Polarization

description: Despite attention in comparativist and Americanist literatures to populism and affective polarization, relatively little theoretical and empirical work has been done linking these two concepts. We present a comprehensive theory arguing that populism leads to greater affective polarization among both populist citizens and non-populist citizens, and that the latter effect grows as populism increases. We test this two-way effect using V-Dem expert rankings of populism and CSES surveys to measure affective polarization for 185 elections in 53 countries. This cross-regional analysis confirms and extends previous claims of a strong correlation between populist party identity and individual-level affective polarization; just as important, it also shows that an individual’s affective polarization is associated with populism at the country level, whether or not that individual is a supporter of populist parties. We show further that these results help explain a common finding in the comparative literature, that radical-right parties in Western democracies are disproportionately the target of animosity from other parties.

title: African Health Initiative

description: The African Health Initiative (AHI) seeks to catalyze significant advances in strengthening health systems by supporting partnerships that will design, implement and evaluate large-scale models of care that link implementation research and workforce training directly to the delivery of integrated primary healthcare in sub-Saharan Africa. As DDCF approached its 10th anniversary, the foundation's board challenged the staff to identify a compelling and urgent need that fit the mandate of Doris Duke's will, and for which a well-timed and large infusion of the foundation's resources (above and beyond its normal grant-making activities) had the potential to make a significant positive impact on society. Seeing the board's challenge as an opportunity to build upon and expand beyond the foundation's previous support for AIDS research in Africa, the Medical Research Program sought to identify opportunities for DDCF to help address health disparities in Africa
more broadly. Extensive research and interviews with dozens of experts revealed that despite the recent growth of health investments in Africa, efforts to improve access to essential medical care remain seriously hindered by fragile health systems, health worker shortages and a lack of focus on integrated care. In response to these challenges, DDCF launched the multi-million dollar African Health Initiative in the fall of 2007. In 2009, DDCF gave four grants ranging from $8 million to $15 million each to support five Population Health Implementation and Training (PHIT) partnerships working in Ghana, Mozambique, Rwanda, Tanzania and Zambia. All PHIT projects, which were funded over five to seven years, remain in progress. The African Health Initiative does not accept unsolicited requests for funding. - See more at:

title: Replication data for: SES-0322662 “Democracy and E-Rulemaking: Comparing Traditional vs. Electronic Comment from a Discursive Democratic Framework"

description: Deliberative democratic theorists and public participation scholars have become increasingly interested in institutionalized forms of citizen discourse with the state, including those facilitated by information technology. However, there have been very few empirical studies of the claims that the Internet will make public participation more inclusive and deliberative. We report the results of an exploratory survey of 1,556 citizen participants in regulatory public comment processes in the United States. Our analysis focuses on the differences in deliberative indicators between those who submitted their comments using newly available electronic tools and those who postal mailed or faxed letters on paper. We also examine differences between those who submitted an original letter and those who submitted a version of a mass-mailed form letter. Overall, the data found modest evidence of the presence of deliberative democratic practices. More interesting are the apparently fundamental differences between citizens who submit original comments and those who submit form letters. We discuss the implications of these findings as they relate to the use of information technology to increase government-citizen deliberation.

title: Replication Data for: Norms and Political Payoffs in Supreme Court Recusals

description: In times when the public and scholarly debates around the effects of norms on political decision making are at their height—and in light of the argument that government decisionmakers are now likelier than ever to put political payoffs above norms—we examine this question in an institutional setting where norms are expected to reign supreme: The Supreme Court. If politics fail to trump norms, we posit, the Court should be the institutional setting where this happens. We juxtapose randomly distributed health recusals with discretionary recusals on the Supreme Court of the United States, to test the predictions of a concise formal model predicting a central tendency where political payoffs would surpass norms even in courts. Findings from multivariate regression models strongly suggest that even justices on the high court are not immune to the tendency to abandon norms when institutional settings are conducive and with political payoffs sufficiently high. Political payoffs are brought to bear much earlier in the decision-making process than previously thought, and way ahead of the decision on the merits. This has been the case since the middle of the 20th Century.

title: Tracking earmarked funding to international organizations: Introducing the Earmarked Funding Dataset

description: Over the past two decades, the funding of international development organizations such as the World Bank, the United Nations, and other multilateral implementing organizations has fundamentally transformed. On the one hand, core contributions—unearmarked resources that are pooled together and allocated under the purview of the main governing bodies—have stagnated. On the other hand, donors have provided increasing amounts of earmarked contributions, which receiving organizations must spend on specific themes, sectors, countries, or projects. Despite improvements in the official reporting on earmarked contributions, we lack systematic understanding of earmarked funding and the stringency of earmarking from the perspective of implementing organizations. This is the codebook for the Earmarked Funding Dataset, which extends the coverage of existing data in terms of sample years and multilateral institutions. In addition, the Earmarked Funding Dataset allows for comparisons of the stringency of earmarking across international organizations as well as within institutional sub-accounts. The data therefore are the primary choice for researchers who study the resourcing of international organizations and its consequences for bureaucratic autonomy and organizational performance

title: Replication Data for: A general model of abstention under compulsory voting

description: Invalid voting and absenteeism are alternative sources of abstention under compulsory voting. Previous research failed to systematically study the mechanisms behind each form of non-voting and the relationships between them. We develop an analytical framework and an empirical strategy to jointly examine invalid voting and absenteeism in Brazil, the world's largest democracy with mandatory voting. Using Bayesian inferential methods and analyzing both individual and district-level data, we show that less educated and politically knowledgeable citizens are less likely to vote and, when they do, they are typically unable to successfully complete their ballot. Unlike absenteeism, invalid voting also has a political dimension reflecting voters’ disenchantment with elections and democratic performance. Both sources of abstention coexist and, together, undermine electoral participation.

title: Electoral Reforms and Peace Duration Following Negotiated Settlements

description: One of the most common features found within peace agreements is provisions that call for post-civil war elections. Unfortunately, the initial post-war elections often increase the risk of civil war recurrence. While past research has consistently confirmed this finding, it focuses only on one element of the democracy. Rather than focusing solely on elections, this article examines the laws surrounding the electoral process. Specifically, I examine how changes in electoral laws that are called for in peace agreements impacts the risk of renewed civil war. Building on research that examines the context of post-civil war elections, I argue that reforms to electoral laws that precede the initial post-war election substantially reduce the risks associated with that election. This proposition is supported with evidence from survival models of peace failures following the establishment of comprehensive peace agreements from 1989 to 2010, demonstrating that electoral reforms reduce the risk of civil war recurrence.

title: IMPACT Projections of per Capita Food Consumption (KG per Capita per Year) With and Without Climate Change: Extended Commodity-Level Results for 2022 GFPR Table 2B

description: Policy makers, analysts, and civil society face increasing challenges to reducing hunger and sustainably improving food security. Modeling alternative future scenarios 
and assessing their outcomes can help inform policy choices. The International Food Policy Research Institute’s IMPACT model is an integrated system of linked economic, climate, water, and crop models that allows for the exploration of such scenarios.
&lt;/p&gt;The IMPACT model was used to evaluate impacts of climate 
change on aggregate food production, food consumption 
(kcal per person per day), net trade of major food commodity groups, and the population at risk of hunger. At IMPACT’s 
core is a partial equilibrium, multimarket economic model 
that simulates national and international agricultural markets. Links to climate, water, and crop models support the integrated study of changing environmental, biophysical, 
and socioeconomic trends, allowing for in-depth analysis of a variety of critical issues of interest to policymakers at national, regional, and global levels. IMPACT benefits 
from close interactions with scientists across CGIAR and 
other leading global economic modeling efforts around the 
world through the Agricultural Model Intercomparison and 
Improvement Project (AgMIP).
&lt;/p&gt;
This dataset summarizes results from the latest 
IMPACT projections to 2030 and 2050, for a scenario that 
includes the impacts of climate change and a “baseline” 
scenario that assumes no climate change (for comparison). These results update previous projections by showing 
aggregations to six regions: Central and West Asia and 
North Africa; Eastern and Southern Africa; Latin America 
and the Caribbean; South Asia; Southeast Asia; West and 
Central Africa; and the rest of the world.
