🧵 New version of our paper (@bcegerod.bsky.social) is finally online: "How Many is Enough? Sample Size in Staggered Difference-in-Differences Designs" We show that even well-identified DiD studies are often underpowered; sample sizes needed are surprisingly large Paper: osf.io/preprints/os... 1/6
So much of classic political science research is woefully underpowered. I'm glad we're slowly coming to our senses.
Got a few new papers coming out with some excellent coauthors. Descriptive representation on K street: Race and gender among federal lobbyists w/ @hjghassell.bsky.social @davidryanmiller.com and @bcegerod.bsky.social onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

What are the implications of politicians swapping public office for corporate roles? Interestingly, this ‘revolving door’ might have political benefits for both the public and the private sector. Thanks to @bcegerod.bsky.social of Copenhagen Business School for making us a little wiser 💡

Sara Wallace Goodman@saragoodman.bsky.social · 2y agoA serious question: how will comparative politics respond to the problem of under-powered research (see below)? I hope the the field will lean back into our strength (comparative case study) but I worry it will only tip toward big data. 1: from JOP: shorturl.at/aVJB2 2: from APSR: shorturl.at/sbPUi

Great new preprint from @bcegerod.bsky.social and @@fhollenbach.bsky.social. Nice contribution to the popular staggered DiD literature--focusing (appropriately, in my view) on the cost of increased variance. Preprint: osf.io/preprints/osf...
💡Glad to see this paper with Beyers Louw finally published: "On the Nuisance of Control Variables in Causal Regression Analysis" (preprint available on arXiv). doi.org/10.1177/1094...
