Yumin of Thembang
No full textA collection of recordings from the annual propitiation rite by yumin Namje at Thembang village, Thembang circle, West Kameng district, Arunachal Pradesh India, recorded on April 29th, 2013 at his residence. The language spoken in Thembang is a variety of Dirang Tshangla. The yumin originally comes from Jerigaon village and settled in Thembang village, where he got married to a local woman. He continues to propitiate an impressive assembly of deities from various parts of the Himalayas, including as far away as western Bhutan, and including local deities of the Monpa, the Sartangpa, and the Miji. In addition, since he is a yumin, the local deities enter him and take possession of him turn by turn. The propitiation is in a curious mixture of Tibetan and local languages.

Replication Data for: The regional consequences of authoritarian power-sharing: Politburo representation and fiscal redistribution in China
No full textMuch political economy research examines how higher-level political representation of the constituent jurisdictions affects resource redistribution among the lower-level units in democracies, but little work has probed the redistributive consequences of regional political representation under dictatorship. This study investigates the effect of membership for provincial officials in the Politburo of the single-ruling Chinese Communist Party (CCP) on fiscal resource flows between the central government and provincial governments in reform-era China. I find robust evidence that the provinces overseen by CCP Politburo members tended to remit more budgetary revenues to the center but did not receive larger central budgetary subsidies. This is consistent with a territorial logic of authoritarian power-sharing in single-party states, which suggests that the regionally selective presence at a collective ruling-party decision-making forum for subnational officials aims at tighter political control to help induce greater policy compliance from below

Replication Data for: Information, Equal Treatment, and Support for Regressive Taxation: Experimental Evidence from the United States
No full textRegressive taxation has increasingly played an important role in financing public programs, but current scholarship remains largely silent on the conditions under which people would support such financing strategies. This paper fills this gap by focusing on the United States, where sales taxes account for nearly one-third of state government revenue, and where sales tax ballot measures have received majority support. This paper utilizes an online survey experiment to examine two potential sources of public support for a sales tax increase: equal treatment beliefs (i.e., that all should pay the same tax rate) and a lack of public awareness of the distributive consequences of sales taxes. I find that exposure to information about sales taxes' distributive consequences significantly reduced respondents' support for a sales tax increase, but that equal treatment beliefs had no significant effect on such support. Additional analyses suggest that other-regarding motivations are a plausible mechanism underlying the effects of information provision. These findings shed light on how misperceptions of tax burdens shape support for regressive taxation and have broad implications for the role of fairness beliefs in the formation of tax policy preferences
