When electoral reforms backfire: Reassessing reelection’s impact on corruption
Social media versus surveys: A new scalable approach to understanding legislators' discourse
This paper explores how legislators use social media, specifically investigating whether their posts reflect the concerns expressed by their legislative party peers in an anonymous survey. Utilizing data from Twitter (now X), we compare legislators' social media posts with their responses in a survey of legislators in Latin America. We propose a novel and scalable method for analyzing political communications, employing OpenAI for topic identific…

Durante ese año los peruanos hemos tenido innumerables sin sabores en el nivel social, político y econÃ3mico. El gobierno de turno, sin terminar de asentarse, tuvo que enfrentar los estragos del fenÃ3meno del Niño, crisis ministeriales, pedidos de vacancia, entre otros, al tiempo que la economía se desaceleraba y la pobreza aumentaba. …
