Hi everyone,

This Friday, February 24th at noon Eastern time, the International Methods
Colloquium will host a presentation by Ines Levin of the University of
California-Irvine. Ines's presentation is titled "The Conditional Impact of
Resources on Political Participation: Evidence from a Mixture Model."

The abstract of the presentation is as follows:

Most survey-based studies of political participation can be grouped into
those that model participation in each activity independently (with most of
them focusing on voter turnout) and those that model overall participation
based on aggregate indicators of civic engagement. In this paper I present
a new approach for the study of political participation that simultaneously
considers involvement in several political activities. I use finite mixture
modeling to classify survey respondents into latent classes of citizens
based on their self-reported participation in a range of political acts.
Using survey data from the 1990 American Citizen Participation Study and
from the 2010-2014 Cooperative Congressional Election Study Panel Survey, I
demonstrate that, even after controlling for a comprehensive set of
individual attributes, large heterogeneities in participation remain. I
show that heterogeneities persist over time and that the importance of
access to political resources varies considerably across latent types
depending on the characteristics of each political activity.
