Excited to share our open access new article in the American Journal of Political Science (@AJPS_Editor) with @SBorwein, @rmichaelalvarez, @bartbonikowski & @PeejLoewen onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/aj…
Urban–rural cleavages are seen as a defining political divide. But does this polarization hold worldwide? My new working paper tests this question using an original dataset of granular, geocoded election returns from 106 countries (polling station-level in 70). (1/8)
I noted the more general conclusions by the authors: “The findings suggest that variable, multidisciplinary practice experiences are associated with gradual initial discipline-specific progress but greater sustainability of long-term development of excellence.”
In a study on world class performers, those who made it world class: -Had more multisport than specialized practice -Started their main sport later -Accumulated less practice -Initially progressed slower than national class peers journals.sagepub.com/doi/abs/10.117…
Extremely well deserved. Jonathan is a a phenomenal scholar and mentor!

Exciting news! @melodyyhuang & I are hiring a predoc for AY25-26 as part of CSAP & Tobin's (amazing) predoc program. We're looking for someone with strong technical skills & interests in both American politics & methods. Reach out with any questions! tobin.yale.edu/opportunities/…
Happy to see this paper finally out in print (after such a great effort from the team on this project). We find that that tension between coordination and information aggregation helps explain when party leaders are more likely to exert influence over their caucus!
