I feel a tad better knowing I’m not the only one who’s terrified of going through US immigration at the moment…

Re the Le Pen verdict, these decisions raise vexing questions about the relationship btw accountability and democracy & can have complicated conseq for public opinion, judiciaries and politics more broadly. We explore them in our book on Latin America’s Lava Jato www.cambridge.org/gb/universit...

Great opportunity to work with the wonderful Federica Genovese! Apply

How should we "draw" arguments to maximise theoretical clarity and the productivity of empirical work? Juan Masullo and I had a lot of fun convening this QMMR symposium on causal figures. Lots of disagreement on best practices, but also great advice www.qmmrpublication.com/_files/ugd/7...

The Fall 2024 issue of QMMR is now live! 1. Eye-opening symposium with a debate on how to draw causal graphs 2. Reports from the Emerging Methodologists Wkshop 3. Great articles on archival research 4. Fascinating notes from the Field/Classroom Dig in! qmmrpublication.com/_files/ugd/7e0…

Nuestra intervención en el debate sobre por qué los chilenos le dijeron “no” a la nueva constitución en 2022. Pasen y lean!

New WP! Can we root out corrupt politicians? Instead of disclosing corr info, we first use ML to identify available candidate characteristics that are predictive of corruption. An experiment then varies the provision of this info to study if voters id corrupt politicians: osf.io/preprints/so...

Carlos Meléndez is in the house! Follow him @eljorobado.bsky.social !!!

The new term is upon us…
