Early Christmas present! For the last couple of years, I have been helping to update this textbook for a new edition. I joined a great team that had written the original book, and together we thoroughly revised it and updated it with new research and examples. My copies arrived just the other day!

1/ Does growing up poor always lead to political apathy?
Very happy to share my first paper published (open access) in @electoralstudies.bsky.social, where I show that parents' influence mitigates the poverty gap in participation, while economic mobility does not.

Was premature to say that "survey experiments are the most accessible implementation of the learnings of the credibility revolution". convincing counterpoint by @cdsamii.bsky.social that many survey experiments pursue different goals and originate from a different history of ideas (Link below)
Science is also handling practical, economic constraints. Survey experiments are the most accessible implementation of the learnings of the credibility revolution. Other types of experiments are most complex and complicated, I´d say. For me they were the gateway drug...

A reflection on the credibility revolution in political science by @guygrossman.bsky.social et al: if you measure the influence of the credibility revolution by the relative proportion of articles using design-based tools, you may underestimate how impactful the credibility revolution has been!

Survey experiments are certainly not a golden bullet.
But a) think about where we came from (large data with poor measures and strong modeling assumptions) b) they are far from being as bad as so many want them to be.
For once: Maybe we could be humble about different approaches.

Important public good (replications are much needed to help keep the whole enterprise honest but under-supplied)
Today I published a replication outlining concerns with "Instrumentally Inclusive" by Turnbull-Dugarte and López Ortega (2024, APSR).
I document seemingly idiosyncratic and ad hoc choices made by the authors that create a pattern of statistically significant results consistent with their theory.
