Party Studies Korea is hosting a 5-day methods workshop. I'm teaching a machine learning crash course on Jul 10, 2024 (Wed).

See poster for info. Looking forward to it!

Just finished my first semester teaching PhD level causal inference at uncpolisci. It was a lot of fun! (Not sure whether the students feel the same way) All my slides can be found online: yewang-polisci.com/teaching. Hope they are useful for the community!

Hey Twitter friends, how do you celebrate your manuscript submissions? (If at all?)

Whoa! One of the best political science journals gets even better by fully embracing open access (free to the authors) — I hope other journals will do the same!

Excited to share this new 3Streams post from Seo-young Silvia Kim Jan Zilinsky and Brian Brew based on their research on political ad targeting on Facebook medium.com/3streams/campa…

I created a slide deck (raw.githubusercontent.com/jaeyk/jaeyk.gi…) for my coauthored paper on training computational social science PhDs for academic and non-academic career paths: cambridge.org/core/journals/… (FYI, the target is social science Ph.D. students).

How do parents and non-parents decide how children ought to be raised? In a new paper w/ Allison Anoll & Mackenzie Israel-Trummel, we argue social movements–like Black Lives Matter–can shape these choices, unpacking the often black-boxed step in child socialization.

Very important report on local election official turnover. bipartisanpolicy.org/report/electio…

A study on what many of us already know: over 75% of internal service work in academia is done by women. “We were surprised by how brazenly the male researchers described their priorities, for example that they actively didn’t respond to emails”

'Addressing Measurement Errors in Ranking Questions for Social Sciences'

From Yuki Atsusaka and Seo-young Silvia Kim

A great example of a methods paper that combines statistical theory and empirical data to develop best practices for design.

For those at #MPSA24 , I will be presenting 'How American Politics Ensures Electoral Accountability in Congress' in Salon 3! Looking forward to a lively discussion on electoral stability over the last 75 years! (joint with Gary King and Jonathan N. Katz )

#MPSA2024 folks, I will be presenting “Incentivizing Open-Ended Survey Responses” at the 1:15 pm methods panel today in Salon 12 on the 3rd floor. The other papers on the panel also look great. Drop by if you are interested!

Our paper on Latino voting in 2020 (and beyond) is now forthcoming at the American Political Science Review. Pre-publication draft available here: bit.ly/4a44mgQ

I gave comments on this book in draft form. It's probably the best applied textbook on political polling that's out today. A great introduction to quantitatively oriented folks interested in surveys & thought-provoking for people already doing the work

Delighted to present this paper first in #ISA2024 ! In this paper, I examine when MNCs do not perceive IP enforcement in democracies as credible, highlighting the role of judicial preferences and uncertainty in judicial decision-making. The panel will be held on Thursday at 4pm.

Sogang University is hosting Jin Woo Kim to present his work on political persuasion! Really looking forward to the Friday seminar.

'The Limits (and Strengths) of Single-Topic Experiments'

w/ Scott Clifford

We've got three goals with this one... 👇

Using this as high variance vs. low variance when teaching methods

I have occasionally had students ask me why we have to learn the math and concepts for regression when computers will be doing it for us. This is one reason among many.
