The Ties That Double Bind: Social Roles and Women's Underrepresentation in Politics (2018, positive): “In a study of immigrant naturalization in Switzerland, where municipalities use referenda to grant citizenship to foreign residents, Hainmueller, Hangartner, and Yamamoto (2015) find that the real-world preferences of voters are mirrored in conjoint results.”
Which Clients are Deserving of Help? : A Theoretical Model and Experimental Test (2018, background): “Indeed, recent empirical work has shown that discrete choice specifications like this closely resemble real-world decisions (Hainmueller et al. 2015).”
Improving the External Validity of Conjoint Analysis: The Essential Role of Profile Distribution (2021, positive): “Given that one of the core advantages of conjoint experiments is to mimic real-world decision making process (Hainmueller et al., 2015), it is critical to define causal quantity of interest that reflects a target population.”
How economic, humanitarian, and religious concerns shape European attitudes toward asylum seekers (2016, background): “9 validity in reducing social desirability bias and replicating real-world voting behavior (42).”
Acceptability of App-Based Contact Tracing for COVID-19: Cross-Country Survey Study (2020, background): “While studies often find good correlation between what people declare they would do in surveys and actual behavior [18-22], even in relation to app installations [23-26], many things will have changed between the time of the surveys and when countries eventually introduce the app.”
Designing Information Provision Experiments (2020, positive): “Hainmueller et al. (2015) show that the responses in the vignettes are highly predictive of real-world behaviors.”
