neat work here on repression in the Soviet Union. www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

We streamlined six new DID-like estimators and created this tutorial for implementation in R.

Hope you no longer need to spend months figuring out what these estimators are and how to use them.

📊How can we better measure legislators' ideological positions?

➡️ @breunig.bsky.social & @benguinaudeau.bsky.social propose a new approach: an expert survey in which respondents compare pairs of representatives on a left-right dimension www.cambridge.org/core/journal... #FirstView

How do autocrats stay in power?

Our new research dives into the strategies of political control—repression, co-optation, and indoctrination—used across 229 autocracies from 1946 to 2010. What we found will change the way you think about authoritarian resilience. 🧵👇

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.
