title: Nature of Party Governance, Connecting Conceptualization and Measurement
title: Version 1

description: Research on the policy consequences of partisan turnover in state policymaking institutions in the United States generally has found that parties have, at most, conditional effects. Yet many of these analyses have constructed the partisanship variable as if parties in state government were fully unified. This paper explores the results stemming from various measurement choices, namely measures implying complete unity and those derived from a conceptualization of parties as undisciplined. The analysis demonstrates that a strong relationship between the partisanship of state legislatures and policy outcomes emerges only when the indicators are based upon our substantive knowledge of parties in state government.

title: A Potential Case of Social Bankruptcy: States' AFDC Payments and Their Teen Birthrates
title: Version 1

description: These findings were based on a pooled time series analysis that covers a 30-year period at five different time-points: 1960, 1970, 1980, 1985, and 1990. This research examines the relationship between states' Aid to Families with Dependent Children (AFDC) payments and teen birthrates. Drawing on rational choice theories, the investigators expected the effects of states' AFDC payments on their teen birthrates to be positive, taking unemployment rates, racial composition, and poverty rates into account. The effects of states' AFDC payments were significant in a negative direction in Model 1, a random effects model. They also were significant in a negative direction in Model 2 when the effects of year were controlled for. However, when the effects of year and state in Model 3 were controlled for, they were not significant. The findings do not support assumptions regarding the incentive effects of welfare that underlie rational choice theories in states where teen birthrates are higher. If anything, teen birthrates are higher in states where AFDC payments are lower. Implications for policy and further research are discussed in relation to the positive effects of states' poverty and population change rates on the state teen birthrate problem.

title: Ethnopolitical Rebellion, a Cross-Sectional Analysis of the 1980s with Risk Assessments for the 1990s
title: Version 1

description: A synthetic theoretical model built on both deprivation and resources mobilization arguments is constructed to explain ethnopolitical rebellion for the 1980s and to provide risk assessments for the 1990s. The principal investigators hypothesize that ethnopolitial groups that produce residuals below the regression line will likely exhibit rebellious behavior in the early 1990s. They use a three-stage least squares estimator, analyze the coefficients and standard errors, and also examine the residuals. The PIs find broad support for the theoretical synthesis, but focus attention on the risk assessments. In addition to identifying ethnopolitical groups that did resort to greater violence in the early 1990s, the theoretical model helps to explain why a number of groups that the analysis suggested would rebel in the early 1990s have not, in fact, done so.

title: Empirical Indicators of Crisis Phase in the Middle East, 1979-1995
title: Version 1

description: The article uses several statistical techniques to identify and analyze phases in an event dataset measuring the political behavior among eight Middle Eastern actors -- Egypt, Israel, Jordan, Lebanon, the Palestinians, Syria, the United States, and USSR/Russia -- for the period July 1979 to June 1995. Consistent with narrative accounts, factor analysis identifies the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and the war in Lebanon as the two most important features of the data. Other factors reflect inter-Arab and major-power relationships. Discriminant analysis can distinguish a set of human-coded phases with about 90 percent accuracy. Stepwise discriminant achieves 70 percent accuracy using data from only 12 of the 54 directed dyads. Finally, K-means cluster analysis identifies five distinct phases that align fairly well with the human-coded phases, particularly in the first half of the time period. The dataset consists of WEIS-coded events generated from Reuters lead sentences downloaded from the NEXIS data service, then coded using the Kansas Event Data System (KEDS) machine coding system. One file provides the raw event data (approximately 110,000 events). A second tab-delimited file aggregates these events into dyad-months using the Goldstein (1992) scaling. The KEDS coding dictionaries and the program used to generate the data are also included in the ICPSR Publication-Related Archive release. Additional information can be obtained from the World Wide Web at http://www.ukans.edu/~keds.

title: Public Resistance to Indexation: A Puzzle
title: Version 1

description: This study addresses the question: Why isn't indexation practiced more widely around the world? Indexation is assured by institutions and contract provisions that protect people against the effects of unanticipated inflation, as measured by a consumer price index or similar index. Examples of institutions that promote indexation are cost of living allowances, escalator clauses, or inflation-protected bonds. Subjects were interviewed to understand their lack of interest in indexation. Questionnaire surveys were administered in the United States and in Turkey (where inflation rates are much higher and where there is still little indexation) in 1996. Many causes of this lack of interest in indexation are studied, prominent among them being lack of appreciation of inflation uncertainty, lack of trust in the government, and beliefs that high inflation, if it were to come, would coincide with times of economic and political instability.

title: Repression and Dissent: Substitution, Context, and Timing
title: Version 1

description: This study reports the results of statistical tests of three explanations of dissident responses to government repression. Mark Lichbach's theory that dissidents substitute violence for nonviolence (and vice-versa) in response to state repression is supported by the data. Dipak Gupta's theory that regime type is a determinant factor and Karen Rasler's theory that repression inhibits dissent in the short-run but spurs dissent in the long-run are not supported by the data. Rather than aggregate data over a unit of time, the study uses sequential data.

title: New Approach to the Study of Ticket-Splitting
title: Version 1

description: This dataset contains presidential and congressional election totals at the state and congressional district level for 1988. Using a new solution to the ecological inference problem developed by Gary King, the investigators used these data to estimate the proportion of voters splitting their ballots in each electoral unit. The variation in ticket-splitting across electoral units was then examined. The investigators found that, contrary to balancing arguments, voters were not intentionally splitting their tickets to produce divided government and moderate policies. In most cases split outcomes were a byproduct of lopsided congressional campaigns that featured well-funded, high-quality candidates versus unknown competitors, and split-ticket voting was largely unintentional.

title: Of Time and Consensual Norms in the Supreme Court
title: Version 1

description: The authors argue that levels of concurrence and dissent on the United States Supreme Court are functions of "consensual norms." These norms arise from, and are influenced by, the behaviors of the individual justices, including the actions of the Chief Justices. In turn, they cause concurrences and dissents to fluctuate around a common level. If consensual norms are a substantial influence on the behavior of the Court, the long-run extent of concurrence and dissent on the Court will covary substantially, and will do so to varying degrees under different Chief Justices. To test their hypotheses, the authors used cointegration and error-correction analyses of the number of Supreme Court cases with concurring and dissenting opinions, from 1800 to 1991. Because of the dramatic increase in concurrences and dissents during the 1940s, they made use of recently-developed methods for detecting cointegrating relationships in the presence of structural breaks. Consistent with expectations, dissents and concurrences moved together over time. Thus consensual norms appeared to influence substantially both concurrences and dissents on the Court. The effects of such norms vary in the long term under different Chief Justices.
