Check out one of the awesome PhD candidates on the market from @MITPoliSci jasmineenglish.net @ArielRWhite @MIT_SHASS @MITstudents

@MattGrossmann Have the effects of union membership declined? Or has the baseline level of Democratic support among both union members and otherwise similar non-union members decreased? Could see it either way—just curious what you meant and what the evidence is.

Union membership effects on Democratic voting are declining & the education divide & culture war are counteracting mass class politics. But unions remain strongly organizationally tied to Democrats. Republican elites are not trying to side with unions or take advantage of tension

Really cool application of the multi-dimensional dynamic Bayesian factor analysis model that @DevinCaughey, Tomoya Sasaki, and I have been working on to model democracy around the world. Very rough, beta version of the R package here: github.com/devincaughey/d…

@MelissaLDell @peterlorentzen Incredible

I’m excited to share American Stories, a new billion-scale dataset of structured texts/layouts from public domain newspapers (1780-1960) that we’ve built using our deep learning packages. #EconTwitter (1/13) Paper: arxiv.org/abs/2308.12477 Dataset: huggingface.co/datasets/dell-…

Please join us for our virtual APSA "Authors Meets Critics" panel at 12pm PT/3pm ET today to discuss the State of Democracy in the states. @JakeMGrumbach @SteveRogersinfo @DevinCaughey @SarahAnzia @povertyscholar @DaveAHopkins tinyurl.com/22xrghxk

@UChicagoPress *APSA Attendees* there will be a virtual author meets Critics for @JakeMGrumbach, @cwarshaw, @DevinCaughey and my books on Saturday at noon. We have a great panel: @povertyscholar (Chair), @SarahAnzia @DaveAHopkins (Discussants). tinyurl.com/22xrghxk

@MattGrossmann Well, The Forum would be a natural fit, but is @DaveAHopkins a coauthor?

We submitted this conference paper, called "Building Back with Partial Praise: the Limits of Framing in Public Opinion on the Biden Agenda" Journal targets? It is driven by current events, rather than theory. Or citations to make it more responsive to theoretical debates?

Which of these diff-in-diff scenarios yields the most credible estimate of the effect of treatment? Or are they all the same to you? (Here treatment is applied in period 1.) Some more discussion here statmodeling.stat.columbia.edu/2023/08/22/the…

@mguariglia Yup! academicjobsonline.org/ajo/jobs/25219

These MIT STS searches (which are distinct from MIT’s Political Science / SCC search in politics and computing) might be of interest to political scientists who study science/technology.

@fdhidalgo :(

So saddened by this. One of the best people that I've met in this discipline. His paper on the 1988 Mexican presidential election is a modern classic.

@JKastellec My copy is on the way!

Hello there.

@eitanhersh Whoa indeed

Name the American state that is named for a region here in Pennsylvania... Hint: the region's name itself comes from a Lenape word.

@MITPoliSci and the @MIT_SCC are conducting a junior search at the intersection of politics and computation, broadly defined. academicjobsonline.org/ajo/jobs/25219

@dandekadt @gregsasso These Truths

@gregsasso @dandekadt Lepore has the best one-volume history (of which there aren’t many) but I don’t like it quite as much. YMMV

@gregsasso @dandekadt Oxford HUS used to be my go-to choice (and there are many awesome volumes, including Howe’s), but I think the newer and shorter Penguin series is giving them a run for their money. penguinrandomhouse.com/series/BAS/the…
