Replications
- SCORE secondary data replication of Weidmann & Callen (2012), Loomas et al. (2025). Outcome recorded: mixed.
"In the main model where election fraud was measured as large_discrepancy_share, the unstandardized OLS coefficient on the linear term of political violence (sigact_5r) is positive but NOT statistically significant (β = 0.32, p = 0.394). The unstandardized OLS coefficient on the squared term of political violence (np.power(sigact_60r, 2)) is negative but NOT statistically significant (β = -0.71, p = 0.247). In all supplementary models (Models 3a–3d), the linear term of…

Reproductions
- Reproduction (with author data & code): Weidmann & Callen (2012, British Journal of Political Science), Parsons et al. (2022). OSF. Outcome recorded: computational issues, robustness not checked.
Computational: Claim l8j9xn: "Reproduction outcome: Based on these criteria, the claim did not reproduce." (coefficient 0.808 vs 0.809, attributed to rounding) while the other 5 of 6 claims reproduced.
