Rich Frank @richwfrank.bsky.social · 25/08/2026As I madly tried to finish a paper for APSA in the last few weeks (and a book project the paper springs from), I found myself repeatedly revisiting my recent election violence meta-analysis in JPR. 🧵 110
Rich Frank @richwfrank.bsky.social · 25/08/2026Now that I have sent my conference paper out, I thought I might post a bit about the meta-analysis, because I (in a completely unbiased way, of course) think it is pretty cool and potentially useful. 2/n 100
Rich Frank @richwfrank.bsky.social · 25/08/2026Basically, I read every quantitative study focused on the causes of election violence published between 2010 and 2022, and I analyzed their 440 predictors. Surprisingly, only 13 of them are used more than twice and are consistently statistically significant. 3/n 100
