title: Active Maintenance: A Proposal for the Long-term Computational Reproducibility of Scientific Results

description: Computational reproducibility, or the ability to reproduce analytic results of a scientific study on the basis of publicly available code and data, is a shared goal of many researchers, journals, and scientific communities. Researchers in many disciplines including political science have made strides toward realizing that goal. A new challenge, however, has arisen. Code too often becomes obsolete within just a few years. We document this problem with a random sample of studies posted to the ISPS Data Archive; we encountered nontrivial errors in seven of 20 studies. In line with similar proposals for the long-term maintenance of data and commercial software, we propose that researchers dedicated to computational reproducibility should have a plan in place for "active maintenance" of their analysis code. We offer concrete suggestions for how data archives, journals, and research communities could encourage and reward the active maintenance of scientific code and data.

title: SH0196584.10FU

description: UNITE provides a unified way for delimiting, identifying, communicating, and working with DNA-based Species Hypotheses (SH). All fungal ITS sequences in the international nucleotide sequence databases are clustered to approximately the species level by applying a set of dynamic distance values (<0.5 - 3.0%). All species hypotheses are given a unique, stable name in the form of a DOI, and their taxonomic and ecological annotations are verified through distributed, web-based third-party annotation efforts. SHs are connected to a taxon name and its classification as far as possible (phylum, class, order, etc.) by taking into account identifications for all sequences in the SH. An automatically or manually designated sequence is chosen to represent each such SH. These sequences are released (https://unite.ut.ee/repository.php) for use by the scientific community in, for example, local sequence similarity searches and next-generation sequencing analysis pipelines. The system and the data are updated automatically as the number of public fungal ITS sequences grows.

title: Asking About Attitude Change

description: Surveys often ask respondents how information or events changed their attitudes. Does [information X] make you more or less supportive of [policy Y]? Does [scandal X] make you more or less likely to vote for [politician Y]? We show that this type of question (the change format) exhibits poor measurement properties, in large part because subjects engage in response substitution. When asked how their attitudes changed, people often report the level of their attitudes rather than the change in them. As an alternative, we propose the counterfactual format, which asks subjects what their attitude would have been in the counterfactual world in which they did not know the treatment information. Using a series of experiments embedded in four studies, we show that the counterfactual format greatly reduces bias relative to the change format.

title: The Generalizability of Online Experiments Conducted During the COVID-19 Pandemic

description: The COVID-19 pandemic imposed new constraints on empirical research, and online data collection by social scientists increased. Generalizing from experiments conducted during this period of persistent crisis may be challenging due to changes in how participants respond to treatments or the composition of online samples. We investigate the generalizability of COVID era survey experiments with 33 replications of 12 pre-pandemic designs, fielded across 13 quota samples of Americans between March and July 2020. We find strong evidence that pre-pandemic experiments replicate in terms of sign and significance, but at somewhat reduced magnitudes. Indirect evidence suggests an increased share of inattentive subjects on online platforms during this period, which may have contributed to smaller estimated treatment effects. Overall, we conclude that the pandemic does not pose a fundamental threat to the generalizability of online experiments to other time periods.

title: Irrelevant Events and Voting Behavior: Replications Using Principles from Open Science

description: How well do voters hold politicians accountable? Although a longstanding research tradition claims that elections are effective tools for the sanctioning and selection of leaders, a more-recent literature argues that voters often reward and punish incumbents for “irrelevant events.” The empirical literature on this topic is characterized by conflicting findings. Drawing upon ideas from the open science movement, and showing how they can advance the transparency of observational research, we replicated three prominent studies on “irrelevant” events and voting behavior: (1) Achen and Bartels’s (2016) study of droughts and floods; (2) Healy, Malhotra, and Mo’s (2010) study of college football; and (3) Healy and Malhotra’s (2010) study of tornadoes. Each study replicates well in some areas and poorly in others. Had we sought to debunk any of the three with ex post specification search, we could have done so. However, our approach required us to see the full, complicated picture.

title: Measuring Misperceptions: Limits of Party-Specific Stereotype Reports

description: Prior research has reported that Americans hold biased perceptions about the composition of US parties. Survey respondents vastly overestimate the frequency with which partisans belong to other social groups stereotypically associated with their party. We argue that when perceptions of Democrats, Republicans, and members of the American public are directly compared, evidence of relative misperceptions is limited. Drawing on novel survey experimental measures, we find that respondents underestimate many differences in the demographic composition of the Democratic and Republican parties. A few stereotypes thought to be associated with one party or the other may apply to partisans in general. Similar trends appear across parties and among strong partisans. These findings suggest limits on the extent to which inaccurate estimates of who affiliates with each party can be interpreted as evidence of party-specific stereotypes.

title: Experimental Evidence That Changing Beliefs About Mask Efficacy and Social Norms Increase Mask Wearing for COVID-19 Risk Reduction: Results From the United States and Italy

description: In the absence of widespread vaccination for COVID-19, governments and public health officials have advocated for the public to wear masks during the pandemic. The decision to wear a mask in public is likely affected by both beliefs about its efficacy and the prevalence of the behavior. Greater mask use in the community may encourage others to follow this norm, but it also creates an incentive for individuals to free ride on the protection afforded to them by others. We report the results of two vignette-based experiments conducted in the United States (n = 3,100) and Italy (n = 2,659) to examine the causal relationship between beliefs, social norms, and reported intentions to engage in mask promoting behavior. In both countries, survey respondents were quota sampled to be representative of the country’s population on key demographics. We find that providing information about how masks protect others increases the likelihood that someone would wear a mask or encourage others to do so in the United States, but not in Italy. There is no effect of providing information about how masks protect the wearer in either country. Additionally, greater mask use increases intentions to wear a mask and encourage someone else to wear theirs properly in both the United States and Italy. Thus, community mask use may be self-reinforcing.

title: Rural Banks Can Reduce Poverty: Experimental Evidence from 870 Indian Villages - Household Data

description: For more than one decade, researchers have worked with Kshetriya Gramin Financial Services (KGFS) on a large-scale experimental evaluation of the impact of improved access to formal financial services for rural populations. The team used a randomized controlled trial running from 2009 to 2016 to analyze the impact of services from an innovative rural bank in India that founded its operations on a new set of principles: broad geographical distribution, a low banker-to-client ratio, and a wide variety of products offered, including savings and insurance. The researchers measured impacts on poverty reduction, entrepreneurship, social networks, health, agricultural investments, and female empowerment.

The Household Survey was conducted through multiple rounds at Baseline and multiple rounds at Endline. It is divided into 23 modules (referred to as sections), each containing a set of questions administered to the household roster on a particular aspect, i.e. farming activities, occupations (self-employment and wage labor), consumption, shocks, income and assets, and usage of financial services (formal and informal). The survey also administers questions to the woman in the household (preferably a married woman with children). We collect data on her (and her children's) health, decision making abilities within the household, and her social network and complement this data by notions about risk aversion, trust, and bargaining behavior.

title: Rural Banks Can Reduce Poverty: Experimental Evidence from 870 Indian Villages - Daily Consumption Survey

description: For more than one decFor more than one decade, researchers have worked with Kshetriya Gramin Financial Services (KGFS) on a large-scale experimental evaluation of the impact of improved access to formal financial services for rural populations. The team used a randomized controlled trial running from 2009 to 2016 to analyze the impact of services from an innovative rural bank in India that founded its operations on a new set of principles: broad geographical distribution, a low banker-to-client ratio, and a wide variety of products offered, including savings and insurance.

The consumption survey aims to capture respondents' income and expenditure flows and consists of three main components: First Visit Survey, Phone Follow Up Survey and End Call Survey. Households were administered the first visit survey and assigned to follow-up surveys if consent was obtained from the head of the household and the spouse. In total, 15 follow up surveys are administered over a period of 30 days and concluded by an end call survey.

title: Economic Decline, Social Identity, and Authoritarian Values in the United States

description: Why does the contemporary backlash against globalization in the United States have such a substantial authoritarian character? We argue that sustained economic decline has a negative effect on the social identity of historically dominant groups. These losses lead individuals to be more likely to want to enforce social norm conformity—that is, adopt more authoritarian values—as a way to preserve social status and this effect is greater the larger the size of other groups in the population. Central to our account is the expectation of an interactive effect of local economic and demographic conditions in forging value responses to economic decline. The article evaluates this argument using an original 2017 representative survey in the United States. We find that individuals living in relatively diverse regions facing more intense competition from Chinese imports have more authoritarian values. We further find that the greater effect of globalization-induced labor market decline in more diverse areas is also evident for vote choice in the 2016 Presidential election.

title: "Outside Lobbying” Over the Airwaves: A Randomized Field Experiment on Televised Issue Ads

description: We present the first field experiment on how organized interest groups’ television ads affect issue opinions. We randomized 31,404 voters to three weeks of interest group ads about either immigration or transgender nondiscrimination. We then randomly assigned voters to receive ostensibly unrelated surveys either while the ads aired, one day after they stopped, or three days afterwards. Voters recalled the ads, but three ads had a minimal influence on public opinion, whereas a fourth’s effects decayed within one day. However, voters remembered a fact from one ad. Our results suggest issue ads can affect public opinion but that not every ad persuades and that persuasive effects decay. Despite the vast sums spent on television ads, our results are the first field experiment on their persuasive power on issues, shedding light on the mechanisms underpinning—and limits on—both televised persuasion and interest group influence.

title: Testing the Efficacy of Three Informational Interventions for Reducing Misperceptions of the Black–White Wealth Gap

description: Americans remain unaware of the magnitude of economic inequality in the nation and the degree to which it is patterned by race. We exposed a community sample of respondents to one of three interventions designed to promote a more realistic understanding of the Black–White wealth gap. The interventions conformed to recommendations in messaging about racial inequality drawn from the social sciences yet differed in how they highlighted data-based trends in Black–White wealth inequality, a single personal narrative, or both. Data interventions were more effective than the narrative in both shifting how people talk about racial wealth inequality—eliciting less speech about personal achievement—and, critically, lowering estimates of Black–White wealth equality for at least 18 mo following baseline, which aligned more with federal estimates of the Black–White wealth gap. Findings from this study highlight how data, along with current recommendations in the social sciences, can be leveraged to promote more accurate understandings of the magnitude of racial inequality in society, laying the necessary groundwork for messaging about equity-enhancing policy.
