This is paper is a good reminder that political scientists all too often think people care as much about politics as they do.
Do ordinary Republicans and Democrats really avoid each other in everyday life? In a new working paper with Delia Baldassarri, we present descriptive and experimental evidence to challenge the view that partisanship drives the formation of social relationships.

Claude code will inevitably reduce dramatically the hiring of undergraduate RAs which will further increase the gap between what students are taught and how we conduct research.

Any time I look to see what the Labour government is up to in the UK it turns out to be things like making posters that Alfonso Cuarón put in the background of the long tracking shot that opens “Children of Men”.

Because this is such a strong cultural aspect, I think people are also more comfortable talking about cultural differences stemming from ones background compared to Northern Europe.

It is a pretty strong cultural current in the United States to talk about your ancestry. Young kids will do presentations about their family lineage, where they came from etc.

I think it is hard for researchers who study politics to fully detach themselves from this reality - we have self selected into a group that thinks about politics more than 99.9% of the population. I only have like two close acquaintances who I would classify as "non-political".

Thanks! I agree -- which is why I think there is some sadness in the increasing "oversight" role I am playing when coding for work with LLMs. Perhaps I could supplement this with playing around with Raspberry Pis or something.

Prosocial acts attract social rewards—unless they also benefit you, when you get moral derogation instead.
Research by @shafenbraedl.bsky.social suggests this is because social rewards are treated as reserved for *genuine* costly prosocial actions:

Did you know there is an open-source framework for building Voting Advice Applications? OpenVAA (openvaa.org) offers a way to develop a VAA for any election. It is fully localisable, accessible, modular and free to use. 1/3

Does anyone have good resources or papers that explain when to use matching versus weighting for causal identification, and how they differ conceptually?
