ECIN Replication Package for "Favoritism under multiple sources of social pressure" (ICPSR 195463)
Released/updated on: 2024-06-09

This deposit contains the replication package for "Favoritism under Multiple Sources of Social Pressure".Abstract:When social pressure leads to favoritism, policies might aim to reduce the bias by affecting its source. This paper shows that multiple sources may be present and telling them apart is important. We build a novel and granular dataset on European football games and revisit the view that supporting crowds make referees help the host team. We find this bias to remain unchanged even in stadiums closed due to Covid-19. Instead, influential host organizations emerge as the source of social pressure. This has an adverse effect on maintaining the ranking of influential teams and hindering the progress of smaller teams.

Washington Lobbyists Survey, 1956-1957 (ICPSR 7262)
Released/updated on: 1992-02-16
Geographic coverage: District of Columbia, United States
Time period: 1956-01-01--1957-12-31
This study interviewed a sample of registered lobbyists from Washington, DC, during the academic year 1956-1957. Questions investigated lobbyists' role in policy-making, their occupational history, interest in public affairs, reasons for becoming a lobbyist, and political activities. Other variables concern the respondents' relationships to the organizations they represented, where they tried to establish contact, techniques they used to do so, how their lobbying skills were acquired, and self-appraisal of their success. Of the 114 respondents included in the sample, 101 were actually interviewed. For the remaining 13, personal data as well as some information about their lobbying activities were obtained from public records and informal conversations. Demographic data include age, level of education, personal income, religious preference, party affiliation, marital status, and size of family.
