🗳️ Do multiple vote ballots increase women’s representation?
➡️ Using a survey experiment, @YoshikuniOno H. Miwa & Y. Kasuya show multiple vote ballots encourage more gender balanced voting, though men retain an overall advantage https://t.co/6yplS2n5R8 #FirstView
✨ Happy to share my new coauthored article, now out in PSRM. Based on a survey experiment in Japan, we show that allowing voters to cast multiple votes can encourage gender-balanced choices. Read it open access here:

📊 Based on my journal-submission log since Dec. 2013, I made this figure showing how often manuscripts are rejected—and how long it takes—before (conditional) acceptance. I hope it helps PhD students and junior scholars see the real world of publishing in political science. 💪📚

New paper in Nature. The more a government controls its domestic media, the more it dominates AI training data, the more pro-regime outputs we get from AI. By scraping the open web, LLMs are unwittingly laundering state-coordinated narratives into seemingly objective answers.

In increasingly nationalized elections, how do voters use policy information to choose candidates?

New article with @minheegoewhaac1, Hirofumi Miwa, and @YoshikuniOno in @poqjournal. We show that correcting misperceptions about the gender pay gap has a stronger effect in South Korea, where gender issues have become highly politicized, than in Japan.
