title: Replication Data for: "When Do International Organizations Engage in Agency Slack? A Qualitative Comparative Analysis of United Nations Institutions", Global Studies Quarterly, 2022

description: The extensive delegation of power to international organizations (IOs) has been accompanied by occasional agency slack. While prior studies suggest that IOs’ propensity for agency slack may be rooted in their organizational characteristics, this has rarely been explored empirically. To address this lacuna, in this article we propose a conceptualization and measurement of agency slack and develop a framework of organizational characteristics. Our empirical analysis applies qualitative comparative analysis to assess the conditions under which agency slack occurs across sixteen United Nations institutions. We complement the cross-case analysis with two case illustrations. Our results document the empirical existence of two paths to agency slack, providing conﬁrmatory evidence for our theoretical expectations. Path 1 combines stafﬁng rules that are favorable for the agent with wide access to third parties. Path 2 entails the combination of favorable stafﬁng rules with extensive delegation of authority and a vague organizational mandate.

title: Replication Data for: The Unequal Distribution of Opportunity: A National Audit Study of Bureaucratic Discrimination in Primary School Access

description: Administrators can use their discretion to discriminate in the provision of public services via two mechanisms. They make decisions to allocate public services, allowing them to discriminate via allocative exclusion. They can also discriminate by targeting administrative burdens towards out-groups to make bureaucratic processes more onerous. While prior audit studies only examine the use of administrative burdens, we offer evidence of both mechanisms. We sent a request to all Danish primary schools (n=1,698) from an in-group (a typical Danish name) and out-group (a Muslim name) parent asking if it was possible to move his child to the school. While both groups received similar response rates, we find large differences in discrimination via allocative exclusion: Danes received a clear acceptance 25% of the time, compared to 15% for Muslims. Muslims also faced greater administrative burdens in the form of additional questions.

title: Extension dataset produced from the 'Shan Household, Agriculture and Rural Economy: Household Survey – May-October 2018'

description: This research was designed to test characterizations of hybrid maize farming in the literature on Myanmar empirically, and identify implications for development policy and programming. A study by the World Bank (2016) suggests that returns from maize farming are very high in comparison to other major crops grown in Myanmar, whereas two studies by Woods (2015a; 2015b) list a host of negative impacts associated with hybrid maize cultivation, including reduced food security, widespread and severe indebtedness among the smallest farmers, and deepening inequality. Our survey represented the population of all maize growing village tracts in the nine major maize growing townships of southern Shan where the security situation at the time of the survey permitted access. A total 884 maize growing and 678 non-maize growing rural households were interviewed. We summarize key survey results and their implications below.

title: Investment, Opportunity, and Risk: Do US Sanctions Deter or Encourage Global Investment?

description: Complementing the effectiveness of US sanctions debate, the US government often prods US investors to disinvest from targeted countries, hoping to pressure sanctioned countries to back US foreign policy goals or face economic costs for their actions. Missing from the effectiveness of sanctions debate is the impact US sanctions have on third-party foreign direct investment (FDI). Using panel data for 171 countries from 1969 to 2000, we present the first empirical study on the effect of sanctions on global FDI. We find strong evidence that when US firms disinvest during US sanctions, global FDI significantly increases, providing the target country with a reliable source of capital replacement. The results suggest the limited effectiveness of sanctions for restricting capital flows to targeted countries and that US firms may ultimately bear the highest costs from US-imposed sanctions.

title: Productivity and Sustainability of the RiceeWheat Cropping System in the Indo-Gangetic Plains of the Indian subcontinent: Problems, Opportunities, and Strategies

description: Rice and wheat are the staple foods for almost the entire Asian population and therefore they occupy a premium position among all food commodities. The era of the Green Revolution started during the early 1970s with wheat and rice and since then the ricee-heat cropping system of the Indo-Gangetic Plains has played a significant role in the food security of the region. However, recent years have witnessed a significant slowdown in the yield growth rate of this system and the sustainability of this important cropping system is at risk due to second-generation technology problems and mounting pressure on natural resources. Traditional cultivars and conventional agronomic practices are no longer able to even maintain the gains in productivity achieved during the past few decades. Demand for food is increasing with the increasing population and purchasing power of consumers. The ricewheat cropping system is labor-, water-, and energy-intensive and it becomes less profitable as these resources become increasingly scarce and the problem is aggravated with deterioration of soil health, the emergence of new weeds, and emerging challenges of climate change. Therefore, a paradigm shift is required for enhancing the system's productivity and sustainability. Resource-cons
erving technologies involving zero- or minimum-tillage in wheat, dry direct seeding in rice, improved water- and nutrient-use efficiency, innovations in residue management to avoid straw burning, and crop diversification should assist in achieving sustainable productivity and allow farmers to reduce inputs, maximize yields, increase profitability, conserve the natural resource base, and reduce risk due to both environmental and economic factors. A number of technological innovation and diversification options have been suggested to overcome the system's sustainability problems but some of them have not been fully embraced by the farmers as these are expensive, knowledge-intensive, or do not fit into the system and have resulted in some other unforeseen problems. Different concerns and possible strategies needed to sustain the riceewheat cropping system are discussed in this review on the basis of existing evidence and future challenges.

title: Panama 2012: Impact evaluation of "Viviendo la Vida" methodology among Men who have sex with men in El Salvador, Nicaragua and Panama, round 1.

description: Goal of the TRaC Study The goal of this study is to assess the impact of VIVE LA VIDA as an HIV prevention intervention promoting correct and consistent condom use. The study will test whether the odds of condom use at last sex are associated with participation in VIVE LA VIDA. 5. Research Objectives This study aims first to test the impact of VIVE LA VIDA on condom use among men who have sex with men. A secondary aim is to determine whether the program operates through a hypothesized set of opportunity, ability and motivation factors, including: self-efficacy, locus of control, risk perception, positive beliefs and carrying a condom all the time 3. Intervention Study with a comparison group This study will use an experimental design to assess the impact of VIVE LA VIDA. Two groups (an intervention group and a comparison group) will be created through random selection based on public lottery: participants will arrive to PASMO office. After being explained the study objectives and consent to participate is requested, they will withdraw a piece of paper out of a hat. Half of the papers in the hat (corresponding to half of participants in the room) will have written participation group, and half will have written comparison group. The researcher will make sure that p
articipants do no exchange their individual paper among them. key results of a baseline test: age, education, type of partner. After assignment of participants in each groupthe implementation of VIVE LA VIDA with the intervention group only will start Three months after finishing the last session of VIVE LA VIDA, the intervention and the comparison groups will receive a post-test. The post-test should report a higher improvement in behaviours and opportunity, ability and motivation factors among the intervention group versus the comparison group. The same procedure will be repeated with new cohorts of VIVE LA VIDA and its comparison group until the desired sample size is reached, since countries count with few facilitators of VIVE LA VIDA. In addition to the pre and post tests, in-depth interviews will be carried out with at least 10 MSM in the intervention group, to explore in detail how VIVE LA VIDA influenced their behaviour. In-depth interviews will be carried out also with at least 10 MSM from the comparison group to explore situations of risk and their implemented strategies. The total number of interviews will be based on reaching a moment in which no additional information to help understanding peoples management of risk is added by subsequent interviews. We would expect that the intervention group would come up with more effective strategies as compared to the comparison group, and aligned to the key factors identified by VIVE LA VIDA.

title: Centra America 2013: TRaC study measuring condom use among men at risk in Guatemala, El Salvador, Nicaragua, Costa Rica, Panama and Belize, round 1

description: 1. GOAL OF THE TRaC STUDY The goal of this study is to collect baseline data on the prevalence of condom use and the opportunity, ability and motivation to adopt healthier behaviors among Men at Risk in Central America, defined as: migrant workers, uniformed men (private forces), truckers, construction workers, bus drivers and fishermen, all of them potential clients of sex workers. 2. RESEARCH OBJECTIVES This study design is the first wave of TRaCs with Men At Risk. It pretends to respond to three fundamental questions. Monitoring: What are the levels in key behavioral indicators (condom use at last sex and consistent condom use) among Men at Risk? Segmentation: Which opportunity, ability and motivation constructs are significantly associated to safer behavior (condom use at last sex and consistent condom use)? Evaluation: what is the level of exposure to the Com-Prevention Program: % of Men at Risk going through at least 3 interpersonal communication activities (IPC), one biomedical component (HIV-STIs test and treatment if necessary), and one complimentary component (attendance to Family Planning Services and/or Alcohol/Drug Treatment Center)
? Is the exposure to such program associated to healthier behaviors?

title: Phenotypic Plasticity of Spiny Amaranth (Amaranthus spinosus) and Longfruited Primrose-Willow (Ludwigia octovalvis) in Response to Rice Interference

description: The growth of spiny amaranth and longfruited primrose-willow was studied by growing them alone and in competition with 4 and 12 rice (cv. RC222) plants. Interference with 12 rice plants reduced the height of spiny amaranth beyond 6 wk after planting. The height of longfruited primrose-willow was significantly reduced by the crop interference starting from 4 wk after planting. Both weed species showed the ability to reduce the effects of rice interference by increasing leaf area, leaf and stem biomass in the upper half of the plant, and specific stem length. At 9 wk after planting, for example, longfruited primrose-willow had 89 and 99% leaf biomass in the upper half of the plant when grown with 4 and 12 rice plants compared with only 34% when grown alone. These values for spiny amaranth were 15, 29, and 72% when grown alone, with 4 rice plants, and 12 rice plants, respectively. Despite such plasticity, spiny amaranth'Âs aboveground biomass at final harvest was reduced by 34 and 70% when grown with 4 and 12 rice plants, respectively, compared with its biomass without crop interference. The corresponding values for longfruited primrose-willow were 92 and 98%, respectively. These results suggest that uniform and high crop density could be an important tool to reduce competition from these weeds in direct-seeded rice.

title: Replication Data for: Evidence for the Irrelevance of Irrelevant Events

description: The expectation that voters behave rationally has been challenged through studies suggesting that ‘irrelevant events’ like natural disasters and sports results change voting behavior. We test the effect of irrelevant events by matching candidate-level election results from Irish general (1922–2020) and local elections (1942–2019) with games in the Gaelic football and hurling championships, the most popular sports in Ireland. Although Irish citizens care deeply about sports, we fail to find any relationship between match results and support for incumbents or politicians of government parties. These findings hold when applying an ‘unexpected event during survey design’ to two representative surveys. Our results contribute to the literature on political accountability and point to conditional effects of irrelevant events.

title: COVID-19 Impact on Rural Men and Women in Nepal, Round 4

description: This dataset is the result of a phone survey set up to measure the impact of COVID-19 on rural people in Nepal. As most governments have urged the population to stay at home to slow down the transmission of the disease, the impact of COVID-19 can affect women and men in different ways: as an income shock (directly or indirectly); as a health and caring shock; as a shock of mobility (affecting access to water, food, firewood, schooling); and as a risk of increased domestic conflict and violence. To capture these various effects on household welfare, this phone survey was conducted with (around) 421 women and 161 male farmers randomly drawn from a pre-listing exercise done for a previous household survey in 2020. The same individuals were also interviewed during other rounds to generate a longitudinal panel allowing to analyze the impact of COVID-19 through time. This is Round 4 of the five surveys done so far.

title: Modelling to support land and water management: experiences from the Mekong River Delta, Vietnam

description: By comparing the successful story of a hydrodynamic model (based on its contribution to policy changes, management options and livelihood improvement) with other modeling cases in the Mekong River Delta, five success factors are identified. These are (1) simulated phenomena relevant to and understandable by policy makers; (2) response to the needs of policy setting; (3) developed and handled by national modellers with direct links to the policy process; (4) availability of input data; and (5) long application history. These success factors provide higher opportunities for engaging modeling activities with policy setting.

title: 2. South Africa, Cape Town: District 6 mid-20th c
title: Memory Politics in District Six, Cape Town

description: The sixth district of Cape Town, South Africa transformed dramatically during the second half of the 20th century. The notorious urban development legislation implemented by the Apartheid regime is widely known. It was not an isolated or spontaneous act, the government forcibly claimed land from marginalized citizens and segregated the entire country racially, ethnically and economically. Similar to most oppressive regimes, they were incredibly systematic with their actions; therefore, it may come as a shock that the urban planners within the South African government claim that their actions were inspired by the work of Le Corbusier. Today there are still visible scars from the Corbusier-inspired 'surgery' in Cape Town.
