Hey #MPSA24 -- I'll be presenting "A Simple Design to Measure Partisan Mediation of Trust in Science" joint w/ R. Michael Alvarez and @RamitDebnath in a great panel with some awesome co-panelists at Salon 2 at 3:00pm!

LLM's quality of answers to political questions varies based on party affiliation of the question asker, with answer quality and question topic correlating, finds R. Michael Alvarez Jacob Morrier doi.org/10.48550/arXiv…

Hey #APSA2024! Very excited to present some new perspectives on the incumbency advantage in the postwar periods in the U.S. House based on joint work with Jonathan N. Katz and Gary King tomorrow at 8 am in Marriott 410! Hope you can join for a great discussion and panel!

Happy to see this paper published! Great work by the team, led by Danny Ebanks!

Happy to see this paper finally out in print (after such a great effort from the team on this project). We find that that tension between coordination and information aggregation helps explain when party leaders are more likely to exert influence over their caucus!

Exciting news! Melody Huang & I are hiring a predoc for AY25-26 as part of CSAP & Tobin's (amazing) predoc program. We're looking for someone with strong technical skills & interests in both American politics & methods. Reach out with any questions! tobin.yale.edu/opportunities/…

Extremely well deserved. Jonathan is a a phenomenal scholar and mentor!

I noted the more general conclusions by the authors: “The findings suggest that variable, multidisciplinary practice experiences are associated with gradual initial discipline-specific progress but greater sustainability of long-term development of excellence.”

Urban–rural cleavages are seen as a defining political divide. But does this polarization hold worldwide? My new working paper tests this question using an original dataset of granular, geocoded election returns from 106 countries (polling station-level in 70). (1/8)

Excited to share our open access new article in the American Journal of Political Science (AJPS) with Sophie Borwein, R. Michael Alvarez, Bart Bonikowski & Peter Loewen onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/aj…
