I am extremely pleased to announce that the fellows of the Society for
Political Methodology have inducted Donald P. Green and Alan S. Gerber
as new fellows.

The nominating committee composed the following:

"Alan Gerber and Donald Green have made multiple contributions to
political methodology, setting standards for making causal inference
that others can follow to improve the quality of their research.

Their major contribution together has been their advancement of field
experiments as a prominent tool for causal inference in political
science. Their research has ushered in an explosion of experimental
field research in political science coupled with rigorous quantitative
analysis.

They have written the authoritative Field Experiments: Design,
Analysis and Interpretations. Their research using field experiments
has revolutionized the study of voting turnout and other topics.

Even setting their experimental work aside, Gerber and Green are
giants in the study of American politics. Each has made a mark on the
study of American politics with major articles on such diverse topics
as voter turnout, campaign effects, party identification, political
representation, personality and politics, and economic voting. Using
observational data, these projects used innovative research designs
and advanced multivariate tools to offer convincing causal inferences,
often where the literature had indicated major advances were not
possible."

Please join the previously inducted fellows and me in congratulating
Don and Alan.

Best,

Jeff
