A data set that contains a subset of the voter mobilzation field experiment analyzed in Gerber and Green (2000).
A data frame with 7865 observations and 6 variables:
ward of the residence.
indicator variable for voting in the 1998 general election.
indicator variable for if the respondent received in-person canvassing.
indicator variable for if the respondent received phone canvassing.
indicator variable for if the respondent was randomized to receive in-person canvassing.
indicator variable for if the respondent was randomized to receive phone canvassing.
respondent age.
indicator variable for if the respondent is a registered Democrat or Republican.
indicator variable for whether or not the respondent voted in the 1996 general election.

Data was cleaned and used in Bowers and Hansen (2009). It was a 2x2 factorial design with noncompliance on both factors. This is the subset of the subjects who lived in a single-person household and were not randomized to receive get-out-the-vote mailers. Blackwell (2017) analyzed the full data adjusting for noncompliance.
