<p>"Princeton faculty member Larry Bartels has been inducted into the American Academy of Political and Social Science as the Robert A. Dahl Fellow.</p>
<p>Bartels is the Donald E. Stokes Professor of Public and International Affairs, with appointments in both the politics department and the Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs. He also is the director of the Center for the Study of Democratic Politics. </p>
<p>Fellows are selected by the academy for their outstanding contributions to the social sciences and their sustained efforts to communicate their research beyond academia to the policymaking world and public. The academy recognized Bartels for his extensive work on American electoral politics, public opinion and political accountability. </p>
<p>At a ceremony in May at the Newseum in Washington, D.C., Bartels was inducted by his Woodrow Wilson School colleague, Alan Krueger, the Bendheim Professor in Economics and Public Policy and the academy’s Theodore Roosevelt Fellow. </p>
<p>“He uses empirical research to examine, in his words, ‘whether democracy works as advertised,’” said Krueger, who is currently on public service leave as assistant secretary for economic policy and chief economist for the U.S. Treasury. “Larry’s work runs from the theoretical to the applied, from evaluating quasi instrumental variables to discovering uncomfortable facts that don’t fit with popular beliefs. He is also one of the few political scientists I know who attends the econometrics workshop at Princeton.” (continued)</p>
