1/ My piece for @ProSyn explains why understanding the persistence of the dollar-centric system requires looking beyond the dollar's reserve currency status & appreciating the network effects that keep the dollar on top of the currency hierarchy.

New paper with @degal and @patrickshea_ps!🔓

Ethnic politics matter for sovereign credit outcomes.

Using a new measure of ethnic political support, we show creditors punish right-leaning governments for relying on ethnic support, while left-leaning governments are rewarded

I couldn’t have asked for better co-authors. This was one of my favorite teaching/research highlights from UH.

[Patrick Shea @patrickshea_ps]

Thrilled to see this out. This paper started as an informal side-project in my IR seminar as a way to teach the research process.

[University of Houston Political Science @UHPoliticalSci]

Congratulations to @ArtabeEugenia, @SamanthaChapa7, Leah Sparkman, and @patrickshea_ps. Their article "External Threats, Capacity, and Repression: How the Threat of War Affects Political Development and Physical Integrity Rights" is now online @BJPolS.

In the spirit of @matt_blackwell 's recent advice, I wanted the students to experience the research process from beginning to end. We collectively came up with an idea and saw the project through to publication.

@ryan_brutger Congrats! I'm glad to see this will be in print soon. I really liked it when you workshopped it for my grad seminar.

@SchutzAustin My experience from state school depts is that these people help PhDs on the market manage their materials and overall expectations. This can be helpful for PhDs during a stressful time. In terms of impact on placement 🤷

@RyanKennedy7 @isanet @PRIOresearch COW has civil war data pre-1945 and also non-state wars. These list the groups involved, which may be linked to other datasets on ethnicity

*JPR. Sorry!

I'm excited that my article with @Ulkar_Imamverdi is out in the newest issue of JCR. Main takeaway: Women leaders do not spend more (or less) on the military than men. 1/

@cullenhendrix @Ulkar_Imamverdi Ugh, of course.

[Patrick Shea @patrickshea_ps]

But we think we offer an empirical framework for others to explore these issues further. A pre-print can be found here: https://t.co/UCL8x7gxk2

[Patrick Shea @patrickshea_ps]

One limitation of our study is that we cannot differentiate between the possibility that men and women have similar preferences on military spending from the possibility that women leaders adopt more hawkish policies to overcome gender stereotypes. 7/
