title: The Democratic Peace: Weighing the Evidence and Cautious Inference

description: The greater peacefulness of jointly democratic pairs of states is an important finding in research on the causes of war. Here, we outline a set of criteria for evaluating critiques of such robust empirical associations and apply them to two recent articles. Mousseau (2013) claims that contract-intensive economies, as proxied by a measure of life insurance expenditure, account for the democratic peace. However, his research suffers from various problems of analysis and interpretation, including a miscoded dependent variable, a misleading specification for dyadic democracy, a suppression of heterogeneous associations, and a heavy dependence on imputation in which greater than 90% of the values of the central independent variable were (improperly) imputed. We estimate 144 specifications that build from Mousseau's models and control for life insurance expenditures, finding substantial, robust support for the democratic peace. Gartzke & Weisiger (2013) claim that the importance of the democratic peace has declined as the proportion of democracies in the international system has increased; but their tests are misspecified and do not address the issue they raise. There are also serious errors in their data. When these problems are corrected, we find that the peacefulness of democratic pairs has actually increased as the proportion of democracies grew after 1816.

title: Replication Data for: Exit or Invest: Segregation increases investment in Public Schools

description: Replication material for Exit or Invest: Segregation increases investment in Public Schools. Recent literature suggests that integrated communities invest more in public goods by overcoming political polarization that plague segregated cities. However, investment in public education is not likely to follow the same pattern as other public goods because of the historical legacy with segregation and public education. To test this, I have collected data on the 11,000 plus school districts in the United States from 1995 to 2011. Using multi-level models with a state-school district nested design, I find that White-Black segregation leads to more investment in public education while white-Hispanic segregation, as well as segregation by income, has no effect. To help establish causality, I use the overturning of court desegregation orders as an exogenous shock to school segregation as a natural experiment. This result is robust across a broad array of alternative specifications. The results imply that segregation is still shaping public education.

title: Replication Data for: Campaign Finance Legislation and the Supply-Side of the Revolving Door

description: Existing research on the revolving door examines why employers hire former politicians. I complement this demand-side approach by demonstrating the importance of the supply-side. In particular, I argue that one important institutional factor that shapes politicians' willingness to leave office for a private sector job is campaign finance legislation. Less restrictive rules increase campaign spending for incumbents, which makes revolving door employment less attractive. Empirically, I use novel data from the U.S. states and a difference-in-differences design to show that the exogenous removal of campaign finance legislation through Citizens United reduced the probability that incumbents left office to work as lobbyists. The supply-side approach provides insights into comparative differences in the prevalence of the revolving door.

title: Replication Data for: Change We Can Believe In: Structural and Content Dynamics within Belief Networks

description: Scholars use network analysis as an analytical framework for exploring the structural properties of mass ideology. This manuscript incorporates two important, though ignored features in past research by investigating how time shapes the properties of belief networks for different populations of people—those who exhibit high and low levels of political knowledge. We find that (1) belief network density increases asymmetrically among people with high relative to low knowledge; (2) symbolic preferences are more central to belief networks irrespective of survey timing or population; in contrast, policy beliefs exhibit some increase in centrality over time among the politically knowledgeable; and, (3) a belief's centrality is unrelated to the amount of change it explains in other beliefs. Troublingly, this latter finding presents problems for describing belief networks using the vernacular of Conversian belief systems—a disconnect that seems grounded in the mismatch between Converse's individual-level theory and network analysis' population-based properties.

title: Replication Data for: Prioritization preferences for COVID-19 vaccination are consistent across five countries

description: Vaccination against COVID-19 is making progress globally, but vaccine doses remain a rare commodity in many parts of the world. New virus variants mean that updated vaccines become available more slowly. Policymakers have defined criteria to regulate who gets priority access to the vaccination, such as age, health complications, or those who hold system-relevant jobs. But how does the public think about vaccine allocation? To explore those preferences, we surveyed respondents in Brazil, Germany, Italy, Poland, and the United States from September to December of 2020 using ranking and forced-choice tasks. We find that public preferences are consistent with expert guidelines prioritizing health care workers and people with medical preconditions. However, the public also considers those signing up early for vaccination and citizens of the country to be more deserving than later-comers and non-citizens. These results hold across measures, countries, and socio-demographic subgroups.

title: Replication Data for: "Using citizen voice to evaluate experiments on politicians: a UK survey experiment"

description: Experiments on the responsiveness of elected officials highlight the tension between the freedom to carry out research and the right of subjects to be treated with respect. Controversy emerges from the power of politicians to block or object to experimental designs using identity deception. One way to resolve this conundrum is to consult citizens who, as constituents of politicians, have an interest in promoting the accountability of elected representatives. Building on the work of Desposato (2018) and Naurin and Öhberg (2021), this survey experiment presented research designs to UK citizens for their evaluation. The findings show that citizens strongly approve of experimental research on MPs and are glad to see their representatives participate. There are no differences in support whether designs use deception, debriefing, confederates, or pre-agreement from MPs. Linked to high interest in politics, more citizens are glad their MPs participate in studies with deception than those using confederates.

title: Role of the Edge and Scrape-Off Layer Plasma in Lower Hybrid Current Drive Experiment on Alcator C-Mod

description: This paper reports the latest lower hybrid current drive (LHCD) experimental and modeling investigations conducted on Alcator C-Mod, which further elucidates the role of the scrape-off layer (SOL) in determining the magnitude and profile of wave power deposition. In the latest C-Mod LHCD experiment, with a proper management of the SOL plasma, a recovery of efficient current drive is observed in a diverted configuration at densities exceeding the previously identified LH density limit of line averaged density of 1.0x10^20 m^-3. By operating at higher current, i.e., at lower Greenwald fraction, the SOL width is reduced and the turbulence level is minimized. Under this condition, parasitic wave power losses occurring in the edge/SOL region are found to be minimized. In our modeling study, a shift or spread in the poloidal mode number by the SOL turbulence is investigated in order to better match the experimental power deposition profile with an available ray-tracing/Fokker-Planck model. The approach is to introduce an additional spectral broadening mechanism by launching the rays with a non-negligible poloidal wavenumber component while preserving the launched n// power spectrum. This approach contrasts to spectral broadening achieved in the n// space. An initial modeling investigation on the C-Mod plasma reproduces an experimental on-axis power deposition profile.

title: Replication Data for: Gift Travel in the U.S. House of Representatives

description: Members of Congress take more than 2,000 trips sponsored by private organizations and interest groups every congress. Utilizing a new data set of gift travel from 2007 to 2019 and interviews with former members of Congress, current and former congressional staffers, and staffers from interest groups that fund trips, we attempt to answer two core questions about this increasingly frequent behavior. Why do members take privately sponsored trips and what types of groups are driving this behavior? We argue that members of Congress take trips because they believe it makes them more effective legislators by exposing them to real-world consequences of their policy decisions and forcing them to build relationships with their fellow members. Trip sponsors, alternatively, seek to persuade and build relationships with members of Congress that ultimately shape their legislative coalitions. We find that trip-taking is associated with greater legislative effectiveness, in particular for Democrats, and that the provision of policy-specific information is a valuable benefit from taking these trips.
