Analysing Bias in French Pre-Election Surveys with surveybias for Stata (example 1/3) - kai arzheimer

In a recent publication (Arzheimer & Evans 2014), we propose a new multinomial measure B for bias in opinion surveys. We also supply a suite of ado files for Stata, surveybias, which plugs into Stata's framework for estimation programs and provides estimates for this and other measures along with their standard errors. This is the first instalment in a mini series of posts that show how our commands can be used with real-world data. Here, we analyse the quality of a single French pre-election poll.

Excited to see our paper on bicameralism & responsiveness on the AJPS: https://doi.org/10.1111/ajps.12773

In short, we ask: Does the organization of the assembly affect governments’ policy responsiveness? We suggest bicameralism may harm governments’ ability to respond to shifts in public opinion, due to constraints on policy change. We analyse data on European democracies and show that strong bicameralism creates a status quo bias. An institutional change in BE corroborates this conclusion.

Today, 185 MEPs voted for an extreme-right candidate from Italian LEGA to become European Parliament Vice President.

Right-wing ID group only has 64 members.

This is shocking.

Yes, #twitter changed research communication. Yes, #pandemictwitter enabled community building and knowledge exchange.

But #MuskTwitter is without solid polices or accountability, it is explicitly anti-science and anti-scientists. Therefore it is time to try something new. Such as #mastodon

Twitter changed science — what happens now it’s in turmoil?

The microblogging platform has transformed research communication, but its future is in doubt.

Advice for new folks: Complete your profile info -- at least your name, ideally some bio info and avatar -- before you import your contacts to start following people on here.

The notification a person gets when you follow them is the salient moment to be followed back. But I'm getting notifications of new followers where I just see a handle I don't recognize and the default elephant. I'm sure some of those are people I know and would follow back if I realized who they were.
