Matching as Nonparametric Preprocessing for Reducing Model Dependence in Parametric Causal Inference
TL;DR: A unified approach is proposed that makes it possible for researchers to preprocess data with matching and then to apply the best parametric techniques they would have used anyway and this procedure makes parametric models produce more accurate and considerably less model-dependent causal inferences.

Personality and Political Attitudes: Relationships across Issue Domains and Political Contexts
TL;DR: This paper examined the relationship between personality traits and political attitudes across issue domains and social contexts (as defined by racial groups) and found clear evidence that Big Five traits affect economic and social attitudes differently, show that the effect of big five traits is often as large as that of education or income in predicting ideology, and demonstrate that the relationships between big Five traits and ideology vary substantially between white and black respondents.

Economic Backwardness in Political Perspective
Daron Acemoglu,James A. Robinson +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors construct a simple model where political elites may block technological and institutional development, because of a "political replacement effect." Innovations often erode elites' incumbency advantage, increasing the likelihood that they will be replaced.

Schematic Assessments of Presidential Candidates
TL;DR: This paper applied theories of social cognition in an investigation of the dimensions of the assessments of candidates employed by voters in the United States and found that higher education is correlated with a greater likelihood of using personality categories rather than with making issue statements.
