'Few books have political methodology in their titles because the discipline is not yet well organized. This collection offers a concise picture of the field and puts landmark articles into perspective. It also covers very recent developments of statistical analysis in political science.' -- Kentaro Fukumoto, Gakushuin University, Tokyo, Japan 'Graduate students and researchers in political (and other social) sciences will thank Professor Franzese for putting together a wide range of recent articles which deal with the most important current topics in political methodology (Bayesian methods, temporal issues, networks, text, big data and causality) in a format which makes these articles easy to use in a graduate class or for a researcher who wants to know about recent advances in these important fields. Professor Franzese has provided a new introduction, which nicely puts these articles in a wider context.' -- Nathaniel Beck, New York University, NY, US 'Political scientists have significantly contributed to recent advances in social science methodology. This collection of previously published articles collected by Professor Franzese gives an excellent overview of some of political science's most important contributions to modern research methodology. This book provides the basis for an extremely useful (and demanding) course for Ph.D. students and a must-read for empirical researchers.' -- Thomas Plumper, Vienna University of Economics, Austria 'Endogeneity, causal heterogeneity and context conditionality are ubiquitous in the empirical study of social phenomena. This collection demonstrates the remarkable progress political methodology has made over the last decade or two to solve these issues and better account for the complexity of social interactions. The empirical methods that have been developed recently and are presented in this collection reveal how much better attuned leading researchers in the field are to the data generating processes underlying the social, political and economic phenomena that we study. Rob Franzese is one of the leading methodologists and offers a selection of works in political methodology that address the fundamental methodological problems we face and this collection will become the core canon of readings in our field.' -- Vera E. Troeger, University of Warwick, UK
