The answer was there all along
In an influential article in 1974, Clive Granger and Paul Newbold demonstrated that regressions with variables that have unit roots often lead to spurious inferences. However, researchers have overlooked the fact that Granger and Newbold’s results were from a static time series model plagued with residual autocorrelation. We demonstrate, analytically and through simulations, that, under most circumstances, adding lags of both the outcome and pred…

The Two Faces of Tactical Voting
In a recent Note we investigated the incidence of tactical voting in the British election of 1987. A major hypothesis was that in situations where it made sense (i.e., in which voters preferred a party that was a long way from contention, so that a vote for that party was likely to be ‘wasted’), tactical voting would be much more frequent than had hitherto been assumed. We discovered that this was indeed the case; in what we called ‘objectively t…
People Who Live in Glass Houses
In a recent Research Note, Evans and Heath cast doubt on the validity of our measure of tactical voting. We and our critics agree on a set of ‘Main reason’ tactical voters – those who said they voted tactically in response to the question, ‘What comes closest to the main reason you voted the way you did?’ Unlike our critics, we reasoned that many of those who cast a tactical vote would not be identified so simply. Some respondents may have been r…
