My new co-authored article with the brilliant Sabri Ciftci is now out @ElectoralStdies . "Administrative Unit Proliferation in Parliamentary Systems: Evidence from Turkish Elections, 1960-2018" is available as Open Access. doi.org/10.1016/j.elec…
I've been tinkering with a new project I am calling rurality.app, which is tool that scores any U.S. location on a 0–100 rurality index using RUCC codes, population density, distance to metros, and broadband data. The index is very much a work in progress, and I hope to get feedback. I also recently released a companion R package (rurality) on CRAN (dev version on Github) so researchers can plug these measures into their own analyses. If you work in rural policy, election admin, public health, or just think a lot about how we define "rural," I'd love to hear from you.
@exQUIZitely Turrican, Silent Service 2, Wings, The Secret of Monkey Island, and Powermonger - in that order.
@AskPerplexity If anyone wants, you know, an actual office suite, we're here.
🚨 Join us at our virtual Turkish Politics Online Workshop on Monday, 15:00 (UK time). Aysenur Deger (Syracuse Uni) will present her work on how exposure to economic inequality deflects resentment from disadvantaged groups. Details & link ⬇️ psaturkishpolitics.uk/2025/10/28/joi…
Excited to share my latest paper "Applicability of quantitatively predictive logical models at subnational level of governance: Testing the Seat Product Model on Polish, Czech, Hungarian and Slovak regional elections" published in @ElectoralStdies sciencedirect.com/science/articl…
@maskarpa @ElectoralStdies Congratulations, looks neat. Looking forward to reading it.
🚀 @Stata package #graphfunctions has been bumped to v1.6. This release is a major upgrade and provides a modular grammar-of-graphics toolkit for data visualizations. It currently contains a suite of five programs that be used to build custom visualizations from the bottom up: ⭐ shapes: shapes is the primary package that can be used to generate (circles with n>=3 points, pies and arcs, squares) and tranform shapes (rotate, translate, dilate, stretch). ⭐This release also adds shapes round that allows users to round the edges. ⭐ arc: draw minor or major arcs between two points. ⭐ radscatter: generate scatter points and angles in polar coordinates. ⭐ labsplit: A package for text wrapping. This is already used in several of my other packages. ⭐ catspline: generate smooth splines between points. 👉 This version was showcased at the Stata Switzerland Conference in Bern on 21st Nov 2025. Some of the visuals presented at the conference are shown below and their code is available on GitHub (link below). 👉 This package is targeted towards advanced users who have programming knowledge. 👉 This package will be enhanced in the coming months to allow fully customizable blocks that will allow users to generate their own visualization packages. I will add more tutorials on how to build custom visualizations. Installation and examples: github.com/asjadnaqvi/sta… Up soon SSC! #GrammarofGraphics #dataviz #stataviz

How does transparency affect the behavior of international bureaucrats tasked with facilitating negotiations? In new work with @SojunPark2 in @The_PEIO (doi.org/10.1007/s11558…, it’s open access!), we provide an answer in the context of the WTO. 🧵

🚨 #Stata #geoboundary has been bumped to v1.22 to include #WorldBank's latest official boundary data: datacatalog.worldbank.org/search/dataset… The @WorldBank recently updated their boundaries dataset to release 5, which now provides information upto Admin 2 level. This is a major update given the previous versions only had Admin 0 (or country-level) boundaries. Here is a blog post from a couple of days ago: blogs.worldbank.org/en/opendata/ma… The new shapefiles can also be merged with sub-regional indicators that are now being released more frequently across the different groups at the Bank. Update #geoboundary to the latest version from GitHub: github.com/asjadnaqvi/sta… And get the layers directly in Stata: geoboundary WLD, level(ADM0 ADM1 ADM2) replace convert remove source(worldbank) geoframe Up soon on SSC!
I am seeing tons of people react to this and say “Look at the AER, QJE” tons of papers with data from developing countries. I did my first 13 years as an academic in Brazil, of course it’s possible to publish good work from the periphery, but it’s SO MUCH HARDER, you have no idea
