New pub at @The_JOP with @zhaoliresearch. We started this project in 2020, so it's been six calendar years in the making. The paper feels like an old friend who stood by my side through the days. Will post a summary soon. Thanks to awesome coauthor Zhao. https://t.co/KEXgKxDO5q

Our results show that economic inequality is the most likely factor driving these diverging preferences among regime opponents in China. Additionally, in this paper, we introduce a new indirect questioning survey design - a modified crosswise model - that enables researchers to

Three scope conditions of this gender-based difference in compliance: 1) patrilineal society; 2) no explicit behavioral dictates from those in power; 3) subjects in public-facing positions (e.g., teachers, street-level bureaucrats).

"Does ideology influence hiring in China?" with @ttzhang107 is out. For the first time since the 1970s, employees of China's public & private enterprises are required to study political ideology. How does this renewed emphasis on ideology affect economic opportunity?
