💰 How should we measure early campaign fundraising? ▶️ @colinrcase & @rachel__porter propose two distinct approaches: candidate-centred and election-centred early money. Explore their framework👇 cambridge.org/core/journals/… #FirstView

Here's a treat for state politics and policy researchers. Ethan Dee and I published a dataset in Nature: Scientific Data with 1.36 million state legislative bills since ~2009 coded by 28 policy areas. We used a machine learning model built off open source components.

Can large language models (LLMs) fairly annotate data on contentious topics? Our new paper dives into this question—looking at whether LLM-generated labels reflect diverse viewpoints or skew toward majority perspectives. The results are surprisingly nuanced. 🧵

So excited to finally see this out! It was the first paper I started during my postdoc at @CSMaP_NYU

NNYU's Center for Social Media and Politics@CSMaP_NYU · Mar 17

It's well known that politicians take more extreme positions during primaries. In @ElectoralStdies, we find this shift is much more likely when incumbents in safe seats face a well-funded primary challenger. 🧵👇 authors.elsevier.com/a/1kn5KxRaZnrh9
