  • Good, Economic Welfare, and the National Dividend—pigou’s Welfare Triad

    Open AccessJohn AldrichARTICLEJournal of the History of…2023

    Arthur Pigou’s welfare treatises are exercises in practical ethics. The exercises were founded on the ethical concepts of good and economic welfare with the economist’s national dividend providing the practical instrument for solving economic problems. This paper follows this triad from its origins in Pigou’s earliest writings on ethics and economic policy, into the welfare treatises, and onto his last writings—a period of around fifty years

  • The Many Faces of Strategic Voting

    Open AccessJohn Aldrich, John H Aldrich et al.BOOKMany Faces of Strategic Voting2018

    "Strategic voting is classically defined as "voting for one's second preferred option to prevent one's least preferred option from winning when one's first preference has no chance." Voters want their votes to be effective, and casting a ballot that will have no influence on an election is undesirable--therefore, some voters cast a strategic ballot when they decide it is useful. This edited volume includes case studies of strategic voting behavio…

    John Aldrich, John H Aldrich et al.ARTICLEJournal of Contemporary China2014Cited by: 15References: 1

    The dramatic increase in China's economic and hence political power and influence is a common story around the world. Just how clearly and well does this story get across to citizens of some nations other than China, itself? In particular, we ask what Americans know about China. Do they observe its rise? Are their views simple or rich and nuanced? How do they vary across the public? What leads to more positive and what leads to more negative view…

  • Revisiting Media Effects in Authoritarian Societies

    Open AccessJie Lu, John Aldrich et al.ARTICLEPolitics & Society2014Cited by: 12

    We argue that, to effectively understand media effects in authoritarian societies, researchers must assess different types of media strategies adopted by authoritarian leaders. Using survey data from two Chinese cities, we examine the effects of two types of media strategies adopted by the Chinese government, targeting political attitudes and nonpolitical values and norms, respectively. Following a new line of research, we contrast China's domest…

  • Bifurcated Images of the U.S. in Urban China and the Impact of Media Environment

    Tianjian Shi, Jie Lu et al.ARTICLEPolitical Communication2011Cited by: 16References: 35

    The Chinese public's prevailing admiration and respect for the United States was widely observed in the 1980s when reforms first began. However, since the early 1990s significant anti-American sentiments have started to emerge in China. Such a dramatic shift in Chinese people's attitudes toward the U.S. has significant implications for both U.S. domestic politics and foreign policies. Many politicians, journalists, and scholars have identified th…

  • Econometrics and Psychometrics

    John AldrichARTICLEHistory of Political Economy2011References: 46

    The period 1895-1925 saw the origins and establishment of the fields that came to be called econometrics and psychometrics. I consider what these fields owed to biometry-the statistical approach to the biological problems of evolution-and make some comparisons between all three. I emphasize developments in biology and psychology, for these are less familiar to historians of econometrics. These developments are interesting to contemplate, for the …

  • The Econometricians' Statisticians, 1895-1945

    John AldrichARTICLEHistory of Political Economy2010Cited by: 12References: 91

    Histories of econometrics describe what econometricians did with the ideas of statisticians-correlation, regression, maximum likelihood, testing statistical hypotheses, etc. The transfer of these ideas was made possible by institutions, practices, and personal contacts between statisticians and econometricians. This essay complements the usual history of econometrics with an account of these transactions from the statisticians' side. I concentrat…

  • The Invisible Primary and Its Effects on Democratic Choice

    Open AccessJohn Aldrich, John H AldrichARTICLEPS Political Science & Politics2009Cited by: 9References: 7

    The current method for selecting presidential nominees by the two major parties went into place mostly in 1972 and certainly by 1976, after Buckely v. Valeo. It was the natural culmination of reform efforts over the history of the republic in that, while prior reforms consistently invoked greater openness and democratic governance as rationales for their adoption, this method actually empowered voters as the central figures in determining who wou…

    David Mayhew's two wonderful essays that constitute Congress: The Electoral Connection have withstood the test of time admirably well. My thoughts will be organized around two quotations taken from his book, because they reflect the two most remarkable aspects of the book's success: its impact on scholarship over its first quarter-century, and its durable portrait that suggest it will continue to resonate—perhaps with amendment—over the coming ye…
