It's either something, or perhaps something else.

No. This is either, depending on who you ask, replacement line for someone who left many years ago and wasn't replaced at the time, or a new growth line.

the carters are awful
But they went to Harvard and have so much POTENTIAL
It's not surprising that the research is mediocre. I've seen that story many times. Bright Harvard grad with "potential" ends up producing meh research. What's surprising is that they're no brighter than the average PhD from a mediocre state school.

Don't know them so I have no dog in this fight but they get bashed on here a lot and no one ever says what is wrong with their research. Used to be knocked for lack of productivity. Now there is output. What are the problems? I don't care about their personalities or if they're overplaced. Just issued you think there are with the research. I am in IR but not anything close to what they do.

Does propaganda reduce the rate of popular protest in autocracies? To answer this question, we draw on an original dataset of state-run newspapers from thirty countries, encompassing six languages and over four million articles. We find that propaganda diminishes the rate of protest, and that its effects persist over time. By increasing the level of pro-regime propaganda by one standard deviation, autocrats have reduced the odds of protest the following day by 15%. The half-life of this effect is between five and ten days, and very little of the initial effect persists after one month. This temporal persistence is remarkably consistent with campaign advertisements in democracies.

This is really cute. It reminds me of my first year of grad school.Yet it was published. Unlike your work.
This burn may have worked in 2002, maybe even 2012, but in 2022, everybody publishes work before defending their dissertation.
