Demystifying the link between higher education and liberal values: A within‐sibship analysis of British individuals’ attitudes from 1994–2020
TL;DR: This paper showed that obtaining higher education qualifications only has a small direct causal effect on British individuals' adult attitudes, and that this effect is not always liberalizing, contrary to popular assumptions about education's liberalizing role.

Fear and deprivation in Trump’s America: A regional analysis of voting behavior in the 2016 and 2020 U.S. presidential elections

Fitting Linear Mixed-Effects Models Using lme4
TL;DR: In this article, a model is described in an lmer call by a formula, in this case including both fixed-and random-effects terms, and the formula and data together determine a numerical representation of the model from which the profiled deviance or the profeatured REML criterion can be evaluated as a function of some of model parameters.

Coefficient alpha and the internal structure of tests.
TL;DR: In this paper, a general formula (α) of which a special case is the Kuder-Richardson coefficient of equivalence is shown to be the mean of all split-half coefficients resulting from different splittings of a test, therefore an estimate of the correlation between two random samples of items from a universe of items like those in the test.

Entropy Balancing for Causal Effects: A Multivariate Reweighting Method to Produce Balanced Samples in Observational Studies
TL;DR: Entropy balancing, a data preprocessing method to achieve covariate balance in observational studies with binary treatments, obviates the need for continual balance checking and iterative searching over propensity score models that may stochastically balance the covariate moments.
Journal ArticleDOI
Public Attitudes Toward Immigration
TL;DR: The authors found that immigration attitudes are shaped by sociotropic concerns about its cultural impacts and to a lesser extent its economic impacts on the United States, Canada, and Western Europe, and this pattern of results has held up as scholars have increasingly turned to experimental tests.
