Using global data for election predictions Assumptions underlying result have been questioned recently. Kennedy et al. assessed more than 650 executive office elections in over 85 countries and performed two live forecasting experiments. They analyzed a variety of potential predictors theorized to be importance, ranging from economic performance polling data. Elections were about 80 90% predictable, despite uncertainties with available Polling very important successful prediction, although...
We present an approach for selecting objectively informative and subjectively helpful annotations to social media posts. draw on data from online environment where contributors annotate misinformation simultaneously rate the contributions of others. Our algorithm uses a matrix-factorization (MF) based identify that appeal broadly across heterogeneous user groups - sometimes referred as "bridging-based ranking." pair these with survey experiment in which individuals are randomly assigned see...
Why do some lawmakers form denser professional networks than others? We extend existing theories of gendered networks, arguing that legislators use networking as a strategy to compensate for challenging institutional environment. Using original data from Brazil, we provide survey‐based evidence female representatives in the Chamber Deputies engage higher rates intragender and have more profuse diverse legislative male deputies. also suggestive these relationships pay off women vote shares at...
The convergence of methods and relevant theories between computer scientists social is a necessary condition for leveraging media data to understand this increasingly important window into human societies. This paper focuses on issues acquisition, sampling, preparation. These topics incorporate collection methods, sampling strategies, population mismatch adjustments, other acquisition preparation decisions.
We argue that the rise of regionalism reflects a world polity theory (WPT) logic, whereby it is legitimated and promoted through amendments to "script statehood" by credentialed experts, ritually isomorphically taken up states as function their need for legitimacy, enacted reproduced notwithstanding profound decoupling between embraced realized goals. test find support these claims on empirical terrain defined regional trade agreements (RTAs), using variety data methods. While political...
While digital trace data from sources like search engines hold enormous potential for tracking and understanding human behavior, these streams of lack information about the actual experiences those individuals generating data. Moreover, most current methods ignore or under-utilize processing capabilities that allow humans to solve problems not yet solvable by computers (human computation). We demonstrate how behavioral research, linking real-world along with computation, can be utilized...
Who, within the Cabinet, participates in elaborating government’s legislative agenda, and why? How has role of ministers agenda changed over time? In this paper, we discuss structure bill cosponsorship networks among cabinet members Brazil. Are serious participants elaboration sharing its authorship with colleagues from their other parties coalition? We develop a theory members’ participation formulation Brazilian Congress. Using descriptive statistics network-analytic techniques, reveal...
Public opinion and election prediction models based on social media typically aggregate, weight, average signals from a massive number of users. Here, we analyze political attention poll movements to identify small "sensors" — individuals whose levels discussion the major parties' candidates characterized candidates' ups downs over 2016 U.S. presidential campaign. Starting with sample approximately 22,000 accounts Twitter that linked voter registration records, used penalized regressions set...
Why and when do legislators vote together on policy? Do decide to similarly mainly because of social influence or similarity? I contribute the literature by offering a network theory voting. It is argued that close ties help establish reputations aid flow information among peer legislators, leading increased rates co-voting them. examine relative effects exchange networks co-voting, controlling for similarities legislators. The data include legislative votes from 2010 2014 in Brazilian...
Are the social networks of legislators affected more by their political parties or personal traits? How does party organization influence tendency members to work collectively on a day-to-day basis? In this paper, I explore determinants relationships in Brazilian Chamber Deputies. use exponential random graph models evaluate relative traits versus generating legislator relationships. Despite focus personalism Brazil, analysis reveals that effects tie formation are roughly equal traits,...
New information technologies are changing the way science is done. Programs like Zooniverse, Fold.It, and SciStarter demonstrate power of recruiting online volunteers as participants contributors to research. Platforms Project Implicit Volunteer Science confirm that a wide range social scientific research can be conducted with in laboratories. This demonstration will enable attendees CSCW 2016 chance interact system by participating experiments, browsing experiment creation platform, discuss...
The booming literature on the consequences of democratization for material welfare has produced no findings relationship between regime type and relative consumer prices. largely shows that democracies favor masses over elites, generating expectation should lower Yet it also finds boosts economic growth, an outcome is partially contingent making goods expensive to capital goods. We argue lowers prices since politicians under democracy can more effectively chase votes by satisfying consumers’...
