Advances in Experimental Political Science

James N. Druckman is the Payson S. Wild Professor of Political Science at Northwestern University. He was elected to the American Academy of Arts and Sciences and, with Donald Green, helped found the Experimental Research section of the American Political Science Association. He also is currently the co-Principal Investigator for Time-sharing Experiments in the Social Sciences, and co-authored the book Who Governs? Presidents, Public Opinion, and Manipulation. Donald P. Green is the J.W. Burgess Professor of Political Science at Columbia University. He was elected to the American Academy of Arts and Sciences and, with James Druckman, helped found the Experimental Research section of the American Political Science Association.  He also co-founded the scholarly consortium of experimental researchers, Evidence in Governance and Politics, and co-authored the textbook Field Experiments: Design, Analysis, and Interpretation.

“Druckman and Green's Advances in Experimental Political Science is essential reading if one wants to understand some of the most cutting-edge research in the discipline. They have assembled a veritable “Dream Team” of contributors across multiple sub-fields for this important volume.  I not only highly recommend it, but I also anticipate citing it for many years to come.” Vincent L. Hutchings, The University of Michigan
