NOW OUT ON FV!! Enhancing #Transparency & #Replicability in #Data #Collection: Lessons from the Construction of 3 #Education #Datasets By @adridelrio.bsky.social, Woseeok Kim, @chknutsen.bsky.social, @anjaneundorf.bsky.social, Agustina S. Paglayan & @eugenian.bsky.social doi.org/10.1017/S153...

neat work here on repression in the Soviet Union. www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

We streamlined six new DID-like estimators and created this tutorial for implementation in R. yiqingxu.org/packages/fec... Hope you no longer need to spend months figuring out what these estimators are and how to use them.

Very thankful to have been a small part of the massive effort that went into compiling this database, and happy to share that it's out today! Check out the Global Legislators Database below, a meticulous collection of info on the characteristics of elected politicians from across the world

Very excited that our article about the redistribution of political power within precolonial institutions under indirect colonial rule is available on First View @apsrjournal.bsky.social @msaleh-econhistory.bsky.social www.cambridge.org/core/journal...

📊How can we better measure legislators' ideological positions? ➡️ @breunig.bsky.social & @benguinaudeau.bsky.social propose a new approach: an expert survey in which respondents compare pairs of representatives on a left-right dimension www.cambridge.org/core/journal... #FirstView

How do autocrats stay in power? Our new research dives into the strategies of political control—repression, co-optation, and indoctrination—used across 229 autocracies from 1946 to 2010. What we found will change the way you think about authoritarian resilience. 🧵👇

Delighted by the attention the US dataset with @eugenian.bsky.social has generated! It extends back in time and fills in two datasets (Ansolabehere, Ban and Snyder 2017 doi.org/10.7910/DVN/... and Klarner 2018 doi.org/10.7910/DVN/...). Graph shows which state-years are ours and which theirs.
