New WP is out! Perhaps the most fun I had working on a paper so far. Hopefully #Econtwitter will enjoy it as well.

Great work! Suggestions: (1) natural experiments are rarely experiments; (2) FEs are often used to adjust for unobservables, instead of SOO; same with event studies (ES); (3) ES-FE-DID are closely related.

What's the current status of causal inference in political science? Since the advent of the credibility revolution social scientists pay more attention to establishing cause-and-effect relationships. But how has poli sci responded to the new methods and trends? (1/n)

🚨New working paper: Here we experimentally demonstrate across 33 countries that civic education can mitigate the negative effects of partisan polarization by increasing the likelihood of voting for non-partisan, pro-democratic candidates. 1/

Wrapping up my first year as a PhD student: countless problem sets, term papers, and final exams! On top of meeting and working with excellent people in a great environment, I also have some exciting stuff happening:
Three papers coming up: one on support for regimes and democratic deconsolidation; two others with @laurabegc on party-sponsored protests and democracy + one on measurement and non unimodal distributions.

the princess is “missing”? have you tried multiple imputation?

We promised the @ERC_Research to save democracy. How? Civic education! Showing simple 3-min videos on social media, promoting the virtues of democracy, has substantial effects across 33 different countries. More details here: osf.io/ue6qj 1/

I am joining @PittTweet as a Ph.D Student (in Political Science, naturally) this fall!
As always, I'm excited to continue to work with methods, comparative politics, and democracy.

Under what conditions might mass democratic preferences shape election outcomes?
In this insightful post, @RyanECarlin1, @laurabegc, and Miller argue that the election must pit a pro-democratic candidate against an anti-democratic candidates (+)
