What did you say? A new study from @jkalla.bsky.social and @dbroockman.bsky.social shows that active listening fails to boost persuasion on its own. bit.ly/3QpJ6KW

What exactly, you may be wondering, has ISPS been doing for the past year? I'm glad you asked! Here is a convenient overview, with great thanks to all of you for your many contributions and continuing interest: bit.ly/4jB5Y7B

Kim Moxley presents her work on the U.S. Senate’s “hotline” process — a relatively underexplored yet critical component of modern Senate lawmaking.

NEW PAPER! (w/ Ed Fox) We study 1) how much the wealthy borrow, quantifying “buy-borrow-die” for the first time, and 2) how much unrealized gains impact their taxes. The results changed (some of) our thinking on how to tax those at the top. 🧵 w/ findings ⬇️ Paper is here: ssrn.com/abstract=510...

So far persuasion work in polisci has mostly centered on message -> opinion (main result imo: messages have small fx in the right direction that don't differ too much by message or person or issue) with less work on message -> attention need to figure out experimental paradigm for attention
