Rethinking digital trace inference in political communication
Digital trace data such as likes, shares, and comments are widely used to infer what captures attention in digital political communication. Yet these visible signals may not map closely onto underlying attention, especially in political contexts where users may monitor content without publicly engaging with it. We examine this attention-engagement discrepancy in a 2 (content domain: political vs. nonpolitical) × 3 (feed curation: engagement-based…
Cross-platformization
This study examines how seven right-leaning media organizations utilize cross-platformization strategies to reach audiences across multiple platforms; in this case, Twitter and Truth Social. Focusing on both content volume and story packaging, we collect right-leaning media organizations’ social media posts and content from the 2022 U.S. midterm election. Combining computational and qualitative methods, we find that outlets posted only a small sh…

Modeling Sanction Choices on Fraudulent Benefit Exchanges in Public Service Delivery
Public service delivery programs are not free from players' opportunistic behaviors, such as fraudulent benefit exchanges. The standard methods used to detect such misbehaviors are static, less effective in uncovering interactions between corrupt agents, and easy to evade because of corrupt agents' familiarity with detection procedures. Current fraud detection efforts do not match the dynamics and adaptive processes they are supposed to monitor a…
