Deeply saddened by the loss today of my UCLA colleague Ed Ed Leamer, a brilliant scholar, extraordinary communicator, and wonderful person. His classic work influenced generations of scholars.

I found this Foreign Affairs piece by Levitsky and Way hugely insightful in putting together Trump's disparate decisions and activities. But no particular outcome is foreordained, and thinking through who can be mobilized to put up roadblocks is the next step. www.foreignaffairs.com/united-state...

That would be an interesting comparison. Can’t wait to read it!

Really interesting work. Just wondering why you are expanding to 107 journals rather than limiting the focus to the (30? 50?) most highly cited. Won’t you be picking up a lot of never- or rarely-cited articles in obscure journals that are essentially noise?

Civics instruction was standard in the US for much of the 20th century. I had it in elementary school. It is not part of an authoritarian plot. There are many reasons to oppose many Trump policies — possibly including this one — but there is nothing per se wrong with civics education.

@joposato.bsky.social perhaps there is limit to the number of obs in that format? Suggest you open the .dta format, which is complete.

Delighted by the attention the US dataset with @eugenian.bsky.social has generated! It extends back in time and fills in two datasets (Ansolabehere, Ban and Snyder 2017 doi.org/10.7910/DVN/... and Klarner 2018 doi.org/10.7910/DVN/...). Graph shows which state-years are ours and which theirs.

I wonder if men are equally mean to one another but they just keep on working? That is not my experience — I do think men are meaner to women — but I also think women might be more thin skinned.

We’re hiring a predoctoral fellow for our Stanford Conflict and Polarization lab! We do field experiments, lab experiments and also love to go hunting in the archives for novel data to help shed new light on solving these important problems. Please apply if interested & share with any who might be!

So important to study how government performance affects voting behavior and support for incumbents. Congratulations @catherinedevries.bsky.social for the pathbreaking work.

Hope to have some CS followers to recommend a LaTeX editor with vi integration, ideally one that shows the compiled document on the screen in real time. Was using Latexian but does not seem to work on a Mac any longer. Any suggestions? Needs to be independent of the internet (no Overleaf!). Thanks.
