Replication Data and Scripts for Deliberative Distortions

Paper: http://gsood.com/research/papers/DeliberativeDistortions.pdf

Data

• Data
• Metadata on Polls

Scripts and Outputs

1. DP Summary

   • Produces Table 1

2. Homogenization and Polarization by Poll and Aggregate

   • s.e.
   • Produces Table 2 Rows

3. Domination

   • Education
   • Gender
   • Income
   • Education, Income, and Gender Combined
   • Produces Table 3 Rows
     • Underlying tables:
       • Female
       • Male
       • Lower Education
       • Higher Education
       • Lower Income
       • Higher Income
       • Triple Disadv.
       • Triple Adv.
   • s.e.

4. Correlation Between HPD

   • Produces tabs/05_corr_hom_pol.csv

5. Figures

   • Uses output tables from steps 1, 2, and 3 to produce all the figures except those produced in step 7.

6. Parsing Domination produces in-text numbers for the section on parsing domination.

7. Description of Groups---Not in the Paper---produces figures that show the distribution of proportion male, better educated, higher income across groups.

8. Attitude Change---Not in Paper---Poll level pre post attitude mean and s.d. Produces tabs/att_change.csv

9. Rull All Scripts
