  • Deterring Russian Nuclear Threats with Low-Yield Nukes May Encourage Limited Nuclear War

    Open AccessJeffrey Taylor, Jeffrey Michael TaylorARTICLEJournal of advanced military…2022References: 54

    Tensions between the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) and Russia have sustained a precarious security environment in Eastern Europe that could quickly escalate to nuclear war. To deter possible Russian nuclear aggression, the United States recently published nuclear policies that called for the deployment of new submarine-launched, low-yield nuclear weapons around Europe. This article highlights how these new U.S. nuclear policies may be…

  • The Impact of District Magnitude on the Legislative Behavior of State Representatives

    Open AccessJeffrey Taylor, Jeffrey A Taylor et al.ARTICLEPolitical Research Quarterly2018Cited by: 4References: 65

    This study demonstrates that district magnitude (the number of officials elected from an electoral district) affects the behavioral choices and policymaking contributions of legislators. We theorize that legislators elected from districts of larger magnitudes focus much of their efforts on relatively low-cost, high-visibility activities that allow for easy credit claiming, while their colleagues from lower magnitude districts focus more on relati…

  • The roots of Regina Spektor’s post-Soviet poetics

    Jeffrey Taylor, Jeffrey Michael TaylorARTICLEEast European Jewish Affairs2016

    Regina Spektor’s rigorous training in piano, starting in the Soviet Union and continued throughout her youth in the United States, helps to explain her skills in composing complex and unexpected pop music. Less obvious, though, will be an understanding of the roots of her poetic skills in writing lyrics. This paper examines how Spektor was influenced by Russian bard tradition, as well as the widespread informal music dissemination network known a…

  • Subpartisan Cues and Ideological Distinctions: The Effect of the Tea Party Label on Voter Perceptions of Congressional Candidates

    Open AccessBryan T Gervais, Jeffrey Taylor et al.ARTICLESocial Science Quarterly2016Cited by: 1References: 37

    Objective We aim to fill a gap in the voter heuristic literature by estimating the impact of subparty cues—labels that connect candidates to an intraparty faction—on perceptions of candidates’ ideological positions. We argue that the Tea Party label acts as a subpartisan cue, and should affect perceptions of both Republicans and their Democratic opponents. Methods We measure ideological perceptions using data from the Cooperative Congressional El…

  • The Impact of District Magnitude on Voter Drop‐Off and Roll‐Off in American Elections

    Open AccessPaul S Herrnson, Jeffrey Taylor et al.ARTICLELegislative Studies Quarterly2015Cited by: 3References: 37

    This study demonstrates that multimember districts (MMDs) complicate ballots, reduce voter information, and increase incentives for strategic voting in ways that reduce voter participation. Using data from three states that elect members of at least one legislative chamber from both single‐member districts (SMDs) and MMDs, we test hypotheses about the impact on MMDs on ballot drop‐off (selecting fewer candidates for an office than permissible) an…

  • The Impact of District Magnitude on Campaign Fundraising

    Open AccessJames M Curry, Paul S Herrnson et al.ARTICLELegislative Studies Quarterly2013Cited by: 7References: 58

    The number of legislators elected in a single district influences many aspects of state legislative elections. However, there is a dearth of research on how district magnitude influences campaign fundraising. We theorize that the greater competition for funds in multimember districts results in candidates raising less money and encourages them to be more entrepreneurial in their fundraising efforts. Specifically, we expect multimember district ca…

  • Earl Hines's Piano Style in the 1920s: A Historical and Analytical Perspective

    Jeffrey Taylor, Jeffrey Michael Taylor et al.ARTICLEBlack Music Research Journal1992

    On November 10, 1923, the Starr Phonograph Company ran fullpage ad in the Pittsburgh Courier, announcing the issue, on the Gennett label, of the first recording by Lois Deppe's Serenaders. DEPPE'S GENNEIT RECORD IS HERE: A Real Treat by Pittsburgh's Only Recording Race Artists proclaims the ad, which goes on to describe Congaine, one of the tunes on the disc, as a keen, snappy fox trot composed by Earl Hines, piano soloist with the Serenaders (De…

  • Amniocentesis use and risk awareness: Comparison of knowledge and beliefs among older Gravida

    William P Metheny, Gerald B Holzman et al.ARTICLEBiodemography and Social Biology1988References: 15

    A secondary analysis of public‐health survey data collected from 298 women, age 40 or older, delivering a live‐bom child in Michigan distinguished four respondent groups: those exposed to medical advice about amniocentesis and their decision about the procedure (Medically‐informed Tested vs. Medically‐informed Untested) and those unexposed to medical advice who reported being either aware or unaware of the procedure (Medically‐uninformed Aware vs…
