The past few years I've been developing a new research agenda exploring how the built environment -- the architecture of urban space -- shapes grassroots politics in urban Africa.

Really excited to share part of this work @AJPS_Editor:

🚨New WP: Can LLMs predict results of social science experiments?🚨

Prior work uses LLMs to simulate survey responses, but can they predict results of social science experiments?

Across 70 studies, we find striking alignment (r = .85) between simulated and observed effects 🧵👇

@JohnRLottJr @Sheeps62 @MomsDemand @JohnRLottJr Challenge accepted! See our latest publication (w/ @SamuelCai @JohnDonohueSLS) re-examining your claims that permitless carry laws reduce homicide and the states that adopted more lenient RTC laws (early adopters) reaped the greatest benefits. https://t.co/goa1HAjat0

How do we ensure #DataIntegrity across multiple sources and variables? As our pandemic data archive grows, we have been building processes to catch irregularities in source data.
