Replication Data for: Boundaries of Solidarity: Immigrants, Economic Contributions, and Welfare Attitudes
No full textIn the politics of welfare, citizens often prioritize natives over immigrants. What conditions reduce welfare discrimination against immigrants? Original survey experiments from the United States, the United Kingdom, France, and Italy reveal that the divide between natives and immigrants remains the fundamental cleavage in the politics of welfare. All immigrants face welfare penalties, including immigrants from Western countries. Even young, progressive, highly educated, and economically secure native citizens strongly penalize immigrants. While immigrants never fully overcome identity barriers, the welfare support gap between natives and immigrants decreases when immigrants have a long work history. A history of employment provides evidence of reciprocity through past contributions and signals immigrants’ commitment to the community. Other immigrants’ characteristics, such as higher education and proactive work attitude, fail to decrease the gap. This article contributes to the study of solidarity in diverse societies and the impact of immigration on the welfare state

Replication Data for: The Persistence of Prejudice: Voters Strongly Penalize Candidates with HIV
No full textData and replication code for: The Persistence of Prejudice: Voters Strongly Penalize Candidates with HIV
Forty million people around the world and more than one million in the United States live with HIV. Despite the gains in the prevention and treatment of HIV due to medical advances and community advocacy, HIV/AIDS continues to claim lives and disproportionately affect marginalized communities. Stigma against people with HIV remains powerful. While individuals with HIV have gained some visibility in the media, the scarcity of politicians with HIV is striking. This article analyzes a possible reason: voter bias. We examine voters’ reactions to political candidates with HIV using original nationally representative survey experiments from the United States, the United Kingdom and New Zealand. Voters penalize candidates with HIV by 10-12 percentage points in the three countries. Prejudice, electability concerns, and the moral judgment that candidates are responsible for their HIV+ status explain bias. The lack of descriptive representation remains an obstacle to improved policy outcomes for this marginalized community

Replication Data for: Voter Preferences and the Political Underrepresentation of Minority Groups: Lesbian, Gay, and Transgender Candidates in Advanced Democracies
No full textReplication Data for: Voter Preferences and the Political Underrepresentation of Minority Groups: Lesbian, Gay, and Transgender Candidates in Advanced Democracies
Abstract: Minority groups have long been underrepresented in politics. Support for LGBT rights and the incidence of LGBT candidates have dramatically increased in recent years. But do voters (still) penalize lesbian, gay, transgender (LGT) candidates? We conducted original survey experiments with nationally representative samples in the United States, United Kingdom and New Zealand. To varying degrees voters penalize LGT candidates in all countries, with penalties strongest in the US. Yet, progressives, people with LGBT friends, and non-religious individuals do not discriminate against gays and lesbians, while transgender candidates face stronger bias. Electability concerns, outright prejudice, and identity cueing (i.e. LGT candidates seen as more liberal) explain voter bias. This study contributes to the literature on minority candidates and disentangles correlated candidate attributes, exploring the intersectionality of bias. Understanding the barriers to the election of LGT people is crucial to improve the representation of marginalized communities

Replication Data for: Women Want an Answer! Field Experiments on Elected Officials and Gender Bias
No full textAre elected officials more responsive to men than women inquiring about access to government services? Women face discrimination in many realms of politics, but evidence is limited on whether such discrimination extends to interactions between women and elected officials. In recent years, several field experiments have examined public officials’ responsiveness. The majority focused on racial bias in the United States, while the few experiments outside the US were usually single-country studies. We explore gender bias with the first large-scale audit experiment in 5 countries in Europe (France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Netherlands) and 6 in Latin America (Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Mexico, Uruguay). A citizen alias whose gender is randomized contacts members of parliament about unemployment benefits or healthcare services. The results are surprising. Legislators respond significantly more to women (+3% points), especially in Europe (+4.3% points). In Europe, female legislators in particular reply substantially more to women (+8.4% points)

A 10-MHz Three-Level Buck Converter with Dual-Loop Time-Based Control and Flying Capacitor Voltage-Balance for Fast DVS
Full text linkHigh efficiency, small footprint and fast dynamic response are the key parameters of power management integrated circuits for portable applications. In this context, the three-level buck converter (TLBC) emerges as a practical solution, as it doubles the switching frequency and reduces the voltage swing at the switching node, compared to a conventional buck converter. As results, a small volume inductor can be employed, and high bandwidth can be achieved without compromising the converter's efficiency. However, precise regulation of the flying capacitor voltage at half the input supply is mandatory to ensure the reliable operation of the converter. This paper presents a dual-loop time-based control for a 10-MHz 2.83.6-V input and 0.6 1.2- V output TLBC. The proposed time-based controller merges the flying capacitor and the output voltage regulation in a single structure, thus minimizing the area occupation. The controller was designed in a 150-nm BCD technology. Simulations in SIMetrixlSIMPLIS demonstrates the efficacy and the robustness of the proposed control
