Measuring Knowledge of Parties’ Legislative Seat Shares
We use two original surveys (including survey experiments) conducted the week before the 2015 elections in the Britain and Denmark to explore the best method for measuring individuals’ knowledge of the partisan distribution of legislative seats in multi-party democracies. The complete lack of such questions in the corpus of survey research on multi-party democracies is a testament to the skepticism that many survey researchers have about the feas…
Gamson's Law and voters’ perceptions of portfolio allocation
The assignment of ministerial portfolios to parties is one of the most contested and consequential processes in coalition politics. Accordingly, a great deal of scholarship has investigated how many portfolios different parties obtain in coalition negotiations as well as which parties are assigned which portfolios. However, to our knowledge, no one has ever examined how voters perceive the outcomes of this process – perceptions which must be fund…
Responsibility Attribution for Collective Decision Makers
We argue that individuals use responsibility attribution heuristics that apply to collective decisions made, for example, by families, teams within firms, boards in international organizations, or coalition governments. We conduct laboratory and online experiments to tease out the heuristics subjects use in their responsibility attribution for collective decision makers. The lab experiments comprise a collective dictator game in which decision ma…
Voter perceptions of agenda power and attribution of responsibility for economic performance
Brain Activity in the Play of Dominant Strategy and Mixed Strategy Games
We conjecture that the thought processes used to solve dominant strategy games and mixed strategy games are quite distinct. Two‐person games with dominant strategies can be treated as simple decision problems that involve no assessment of one's partner. By contrast, two‐person games with mixed strategies require that one think about one's partner. We measure differences in electroencephalogram (EEG) activity while a human subject is playing two‐p…

Defense Expenditures and Economic Growth in Israel
Evidence from Israel suggests that economic growth may benefit from increased investment rates and cuts in defense spending - in other words, an economic `peace dividend'. Recent scholarly work, however, focusing on short-term, direct impacts, has provided little evidence for the existence of such a peace dividend in other parts of the world or in Israel itself. In this article, we address these competing views by exploring some important indirec…
