A complementary RDD shows that candidates who marginally qualify for the runoff also rally new voters, indicating an additional mechanism: 3/ voters coordinate on candidates who won or gained visibility in a previous election (9/10).
March 4, 2025 at 1:45 PM
Mechanism 2/: incumbents face fewer ideologically close competitors because they better coordinate with other parties from the same orientation to prevent ideologically close candidates from entering the race than parties on the losing side do (8/10).
March 4, 2025 at 1:45 PM
Beyond candidate-level effects, we also find sizeable effects on the likelihood of t+1 victory of the incumbent party and orientation (6/10).
March 4, 2025 at 1:44 PM
We find that close winners at time t are more likely to run again and to win the t+1 election by 33 and 25 percentage points, respectively (5/10).

and b/ party switching, as existing voters leave the Democratic party, in Republican-trending areas (9/10).

a/ Generational change, as young voters enter the electorate, in Democratic-trending areas (8/10).
February 18, 2025 at 1:27 PM
Democratic and Republican trending places have starkly different demographic profiles, thus contributing to the growing confluence of demographics, partisanship, and geography in the U.S. (6/10).
February 18, 2025 at 1:27 PM
We find that residential segregation between Democrats and Republicans has increased year over year at all geographic levels, from neighborhoods to Congressional Districts (4/10).

"Make Argentina Great Again!" Ma dernière chronique pour @lesechosfr.bsky.social 👇👇
Milei a réduit l’inflation mais l’Argentine n’est qu’au milieu du gué – l’aide du FMI et de pays partenaires permettrait d’alléger le coût social de l’ajustement.

Haha yes, based on this picture I think :)

We test this prediction using data from the Manifesto Project, and find that changes in US parties’ ideology and in the stances they take on different issues have tracked demographic shifts in the electorate, as predicted, albeit with a lag (see graph below). (11/n)
October 8, 2024 at 1:51 PM
Even a forecaster with perfect knowledge of future demographic trends would have performed poorly over this period—worse even than one who simply guesses that each election will have a 50-50 partisan split (see graph below). (6/n)
