“…Depending on the design, different methods for 4 Another design consideration in modern surveys deals with mode. We are reaching to new platforms to conduct surveys, and we are increasingly using collaborative Internet-based surveys that have desirable properties compared to traditional modes (Ansolabehere and Rivers 2013). For example, Jensen and Shin used the Cooperative Congressional Election Study to field their main US survey.…”

The use of surveys and survey experiments by international political economy scholars is increasing, adding to the ability to study a broad array of topics. In doing so, many scholars in international political economy draw on-and are contributing to-insights and arguments from American politics and comparative politics (Milner 1998), substantive fields with a history of using surveys and survey experiments. In this article, I review motivations for using surveys and survey experiments, the research designs, and analysis strategies in light of this issue's contributions. I contrast these motivations and their accompanying designs and discuss the pros and cons of ways to approach the data generated by these research designs. The goal of this commentary is to situate surveys and survey experiments-especially those within the special issue-within a larger discussion about research motivations, design, and analysis techniques. KEYWORDS international political economy, methods, research design, survey researchThe span of these articles and their relevance to international political economy (IPE) is remarkable. So how should we think about the motivations for a research design, the benefits and limitations of specific research design decisions, and their analysis techniques? MOTIVATIONS

“…The complete survey is administered online by Knowledge Networks. Each module uses a matched-random sampling technique to achieve a representative sample, with over-sampling of certain groups (Ansolabehere, 2012;Ansolabehere and Rivers, 2013). For empirical specifications which involve overconfidence, we use the Caltech module of 1,000 respondents.…”

Recent studies suggest psychological differences between conservatives and liberals, including that conservatives are more overconfident. We use a behavioral political economy model to show that while this is undoubtedly true for election years in the current era, there is no reason to believe that conservative ideologies are intrinsically linked to overconfidence. Indeed, it appears that in 1980 and before, conservatives and liberals were equally overconfident.JEL Classifications: D03, D72, D83, C83

“…To explore how three key dimensions of the design of climate agreements-costs and distribution, participation, and enforcement-affect individual preferences for global climate cooperation, we embedded an experimental conjoint analysis (10,11) in largescale Internet surveys on representative samples of the adult population in France, Germany, the United Kingdom, and the United States (12)(13)(14). The sample size was 2,000 respondents for France, Germany, and the United Kingdom and 2,500 respondents for the United States.…”

Effective climate mitigation requires international cooperation, and these global efforts need broad public support to be sustainable over the long run. We provide estimates of public support for different types of climate agreements in France, Germany, the United Kingdom, and the United States. Using data from a largescale experimental survey, we explore how three key dimensions of global climate cooperation-costs and distribution, participation, and enforcement-affect individuals' willingness to support these international efforts. We find that design features have significant effects on public support. Specifically, our results indicate that support is higher for global climate agreements that involve lower costs, distribute costs according to prominent fairness principles, encompass more countries, and include a small sanction if a country fails to meet its emissions reduction targets. In contrast to well-documented baseline differences in public support for climate mitigation efforts, opinion responds similarly to changes in climate policy design in all four countries. We also find that the effects of institutional design features can bring about decisive changes in the level of public support for a global climate agreement. Moreover, the results appear consistent with the view that the sensitivity of public support to design features reflects underlying norms of reciprocity and individuals' beliefs about the potential effectiveness of specific agreements.international institutions | environmental cooperation | global warming | international relations | public opinion
