This is going to go on at many universities - the uncertainty will lead to fewer graduate programs. It will hobble scientific research which appears to be the goal.

Yiqing Xu is finally on BlueSky! I'm a big fan of Yiqing's work in causal inference methodology as well as the clear guidelines and recommendations he provides for using methods and software. A fresh example is here:

Short note on provision of "raw" data in replication packages. "Raw" are data files exactly as downloaded from original source. Not renamed, not converted, not made prettier. All that is important, and is the next step, for which you provide code (or instructions). But "raw" is as "raw as it gets".

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. 🧵👇

Since I have made this post I have gathered a bunch of observational studies with null results since then. Here is a quick thread:

Yet every year at EPSA one senior faculty asks me something like “why do you still need an LGBTQ group?” This kind of marginalization reproduces itself. With less visibility and prestige, new PhDs won‘t focus on these issues, faculty positons won‘t include this profile, teaching will ignore it.

In economics, editors, referees, and authors often behave as if a published paper should reflect some kind of authoritative consensus. As a result, valuable debate happens in secret, and the resulting paper is an opaque compromise with anonymous co-authors called referees. 1/

In the most recent year, about 1/5 articles in AJPS and JOP had a survey experiment. (preliminary result from work in progress with @vincentab.bsky.social and @jonmellon.bsky.social, come see more at SPSA)

The informal knowledge gap around journals' turnaround times systematically penalizes disadvantaged and early-career scholars. I highly recommend using and promoting this tool to help close that gap. 👇

Pleased to share the latest version of my paper with Arthur Spirling and @lexipalmer.bsky.social on replication using LMs We show: 1. current applications of LMs in political science research *don't* meet basic standards of reproducibility...

"Which journals have a fast turnaround time?" is a frequent question in academia. Most of the time, people answer based on anecdotes (or grudges). My lab at Cornell decided to build a Chrome plugin, what we are calling Coauthor, to crowdsource an answer: coauthor.fly.dev #AcademicSky

Especially the share of young men who consider voting for the far right has exploded. bristoluniversitypressdigital.com/view/journal...
