Executive turnovers in sub-Saharan Africa
We use competing risks duration analysis to examine the role of ethnicity and governance institutions in executive turnovers of power in 47 sub-Saharan African countries between 1960 and 2008. Using measures that capture the politically important aspects of countries’ ethnic divisions, we find that as compared to countries characterized by one, and only one, potential majority ethnic grouping, leaders’ tenures are shorter in countries with a majo…
Mobilizing Interests
Agenda Setting by Direct Democracy
Using research on the initiative as a point of comparison, we consider how frequently and for what ends state legislators use the referendum. Akin to initiative use, we find that legislators are constrained by procedural hurdles in their ability to place referendums on the ballot. However, in contrast to research on the initiative, which emphasizes the role of interest groups as the drivers of initiatives, our analysis suggests that referendum us…
Unhappy, Uninformed, or Uninterested? Understanding “None of the Above” Voting
Elections send ambiguous signals to the political system, particularly when interpreting the meaning of various “nonvotes” (e.g., abstention, ballot spoiling, and roll-off). While a “none of the above” (NOTA) option may allow voters to better signal discontent, how NOTA voting is used is not well understood. The authors’ analysis of all races in Nevada, which has allowed for NOTA voting since 1976, suggests that NOTA voting is consistent with pro…
Explaining the Decision to Withdraw from a U.S. Presidential Nomination Campaign
We contend that a candidate's decision to exit from a U.S. presidential nomination campaign is a function of three sets of considerations: the potential for profile elevation, party-related costs, and updated perceptions of competitiveness. We analyze data from eleven post-reform presidential nomination campaigns and find support for all three considerations. Specifically, our results suggest that in addition to candidates' competitiveness, the d…
Issue Convergence in Presidential Campaigns
The Dynamics of Issue Ownership in Presidential Campaigns
This effort examines the dynamics of the agenda-setting process in presidential campaigns by assessing the conditions that motivate candidates to discuss issues associated with their opponent’s party. The article’s argument contends that occurrences of issue trespassing are a function of the context in which a campaign is occurring and factors stemming from the campaign process. The hypotheses are tested against data collected from all available …
Using Campaign Advertisements to Assess Campaign Processes
Scholars seeking to examine the effect that campaign processes have on election outcomes have focused largely on the behavior of voters. In contrast, the behavior of candidates, particularly with respect to the information that candidates communicate to voters, has received limited attention in the literature. The dearth of work in this area stems in part from a paucity of data that allows candidate behavior to be reliably and systematically meas…
Gender, Employment Status, and Abortion
Candidate Strategy and the Decision to Go Negative
The research examining negative campaigning has focused largely on the effects that exposure to negative advertising has on voters' decisionmaking. Less attention has been given to studying the conditions that motivate candidates to employ negative campaign tactics. I attempt to move our understanding of this process forward by unifying hypotheses suggested in the literature into a more cohesive theoretical framework and testing them against data…

The Dynamics of Racialized Media Coverage in Congressional Elections
Research examining press coverage of African-American candidates has put forth conflicting explanations to account for the use of race by the media in campaigns involving black politicians: the media act as racial arbitrators by limiting racial emphases; the media bring race to the forefront of campaigns by highlighting candidate race. In contrast, both phenomenon may occur simultaneously-i.e., media coverage of elections involving African-Americ…
The Allocation of Party Controlled Campaign Resources in the House of Representatives, 1989-1996
Despite the well-documented decline of political parties in the electorate, the evidence shows that parties remain highly salient and visible within government, particularly in Congress, and the formal party organizations continue to play an active role in campaigns. Building on this evidence, we attempt to offer further insight into the goals and activities of contemporary American political parties by investigating the allocation of partycontro…
A Dynamic Model of Candidate Fundraising
A Dynamic Model of Candidate Fundraising
Despite the scholarly interest in presidential nomination campaigns, existing research has given limited attention to the role of fundraising in these campaigns. I attempt to fill this void by developing a model based upon the hypothesized relationship between candidates' electoral suc cess and increases in their subsequent fundraising. Using data from three recent nomination campaigns and pooled cross-sectional time-series analy ses, I present r…
