Replications files for "Winners and Losers from the Protestant Reformation: An Analysis of the Network of European Universities" (ICPSR 223941)
Released/updated on: 2025-03-23
Geographic coverage: Europe
Time period: 1000-01-01--1800-12-31
Using a new database of European academics, we build a network of universities that is based on professors' mobility. We describe how the network was altered following the Protestant Reformation. We focus on fragmentation and on universities' centrality. Dyadic regressions confirm that geography and vernacular languages were important for mobility, but did not substitute for religion. We compare simulated networks with and without religious identity. Most universities lose centrality in the simulated religious network compared to the non-religious one. As publications per university are correlated with centrality, the loss of connectedness of many universities after the Reformation contributed to their scientific decline.

Released/updated on: 2021-01-18
Geographic coverage: United States
Time period: 2017-01-01--2019-12-31
The 2019 United States Secular Survey was created in response to a gap in knowledge about unreligious people in the United States. Nearly 34,000 atheists, agnostics, humanists, freethinkers, skeptics, and others were surveyed and asked to provided essential data about their communities, priorities, and lives. The 2019 U.S. Secular Survey was designed after a series of focus groups with 89 nonreligious people who attended the American Atheists National Conference in April of 2019. The survey was available in English and Spanish and was distributed online using the Qualtrics platform from October 15, 2019, to November 2, 2019

This study was compiled with the goal of looking beyond the national domestic level into individual party-level explanations for women's political leadership. The study consists of two parts which analyze the party level for women's ascendancy to political leadership. Part 1 focuses on an aggregate of 25 non-randomly selected countries, Part 2 focuses on Lebanon. The study records the level of religiosity of political parties, where it refers to religious components in the party's political platforms or the extent to which religion penetrates a party's political agendas. Both datasets examine party variation in religiosity, party structure, respondents' station within a parties' decision-making inner structures, and other party-level characteristics that may impact women's leadership in various political parties. Additional variables include identifiers for Muslim, Arab, and European states, level of secularism, election design, party design, and age of party.
