Natural Disasters, ‘Partisan Retrospection,’ and U.S. Presidential Elections
Mobilization and Countermobilization: The Effect of Candidate Visits on Campaign Donations in the 2016 Presidential Election
Political scientists studying the impact of campaign visits by presidential candidates have come to conflicting conclusions on whether campaigns change voter behavior in even small ways. In this article, we argue that, while scholars have generally interpreted campaign effect results as being unidirectional, the traditional metrics of such effects—polls and aggregate vote results—inherently reflect a net effect combining any potential mobilizatio…
Against the Grain of Urban Bias: Elite Conflict and the Logic of Coalition Formation in Colonial and Post-Colonial Africa
Disasters and Elections: Estimating the Net Effect of Damage and Relief in Historical Perspective
Do natural disasters help or hurt politicians’ electoral fortunes? Research on this question has produced conflicting results. Achen and Bartels (2002, 2016) find that voters punish incumbent politicians indiscriminately after such disasters. Other studies find that voters incorporate the quality of relief efforts by elected officials. We argue that results in this literature may be driven, in part, by a focus on contemporary cases of disaster an…
Truman defeats Dewey: The effect of campaign visits on election outcomes
Measuring the Vice-Presidential Home State Advantage With Synthetic Controls
Measuring the effect strategic choices have on electoral outcomes is problematic, because this requires an assessment of the outcome under a counterfactual that is not observed. To overcome this problem, we extend the synthetic control approach for causal inference to circumstances with multiple treated cases and use it to estimate the effect of vice-presidential candidates on their home states’ vote. Existing research has concluded that vice-pre…
