Features a forthcoming article in Journal of Election Administration Research & Practice by Michael Herron and me. #APSR rejected it.

In a new study at #APSR, we show how established operationalization strategies of multi-dimensional concepts can systematically lead to wrong conclusions.
Focusing on populist attitudes, we demonstrate simple methods to align theory and measurement.

Our (H. Schoen+@ChristianSchim) argument refers to a specific but common type of multi-dimensional concepts which are sometimes called ‘non-compensatory’. Multi-dimensional concepts are non-compensatory when higher values on one component cannot offset lower values on another.
Think of democracy: If we believe that a country only counts as a democracy if it provides both rule of law and free elections then no valid measure of democracy will assign high democracy scores to a country with low 'rule of law' scores even with the election are very,very fair
I am elated to say that my #APSR article with Azusa Katagiri is now available online! In it, we digitize 18,000 declassified documents from the Berlin Crisis of 1958-63 to test the relative credibility of public and private diplomatic signals.

We argue that in the real-world diplomatic environment, seemingly costly public signals are very noisy, making them easy to misinterpret or not perceive at all. Meanwhile, ostensibly costless private statements are rarer, direct, and focused, making them easier to perceive.
Our archival data includes 18,000 documents from the Department of State (private statements), the Foreign Broadcast Information Service (public statements), and the White House (elite perceptions). We digitized these and applied supervised learning methods to code for resolve.
My paper w/ fantastic co-author Kristin Michelitch is out for early view #APSR. See online bit.ly/2FTkhR6 and ungated at bit.ly/2C4Kiut
Focusing on district local gov councilors in Uganda, the multi-years RCT explores the effect of disseminating incumbent performance info in community meetings throughout the term on subsequent performance.
We find that councilors increased performance (using a host of different outcome measures), but only in competitive constituencies.
