Analysis and sample-size determination for $2^K$ audit experiments with binary response and application to identification of effect of racial discrimination on access to justice Open
Social scientists have increasingly turned to audit experiments to investigate discrimination in the market for jobs, loans, housing and other opportunities. In a typical audit experiment, researchers assign ``signals'' (the treatment) to …

Optimal allocation of sample size for randomization-based inference from 2 <sup> <i>K</i> </sup> factorial designs Open
Optimizing the allocation of units into treatment groups can help researchers improve the precision of causal estimators and decrease costs when running factorial experiments. However, existing optimal allocation results typically assume a…

The Ideologies of Organized Interests and Amicus Curiae Briefs: Large-Scale, Social Network Imputation of Ideal Points Open
Interest group ideology is theoretically and empirically critical in the study of American politics, yet our measurement of this key concept is lacking both in scope and time. By leveraging network science and ideal point estimation, we pr…

An Email Experiment to Identify the Effect of Racial Discrimination on Access to Lawyers: A Statistical Approach Open
We consider the problem of conducting an experiment to study the prevalence of racial bias against individuals seeking legal assistance, in particular whether lawyers use clues about a potential client's race in deciding whether to reply t…

Persuading the State: How Interest Groups Influence Agency Regulation Open
In democracies, legislatures often delegate significant policymaking authorities to agencies in the executive branch. The primary way that agencies exercise this authority is by writing rules, which are quasi-legislative acts that are func…

Meet, Comment, Meet Again: The Gains from Lobbying Financial Regulators During Rulemaking Open
Administrative procedures create two legitimate avenues for interest groups to channel their views about agency-made regulation: ex parte meetings and public comments. Meetings happen in the rule development stage, after a regulation is pr…
