I'm very pleased to announce a new journal that will be rolling out in 2020: the Journal of Political Institutions and Political Economy. Or JPIPE.
It will be published by
@now_publishers
, who also publish the
@qjps_editors
.
I recently submitted a paper written with a PhD student who will be on the market this Fall to
@The_JOP
. It sat at the "manuscript submitted" stage for more than 5 weeks before I pulled it today and sent it elsewhere.
Outrageous. The next editorial team has to be better.
Some news: Iโm in the early stages of creating a new blog devoted to Historical Political Economy (tentatively called The Broad Street Pump). My partners in crime include
@AliCirone
,
@sgehlbach
,
@jaredcrubin
,
@jamesfeigenbaum
, Tracy Dennison, and Vicky Fouka. More soon!
Very pleased to announce that
@jaredcrubin
and I have contracted to edit The Oxford Handbook of Historical Political Economy. Many thanks to
@EditorMolly
for all her help!
My introductory chapter in The Oxford Handbook of Historical Political Economy w/
@jaredcrubin
dropped today! Entitled, "Historical Political Economy: What Is It?", we attempt to define what we believe will be (is?) a new, interdisciplinary field of study.
Very pleased to have been received 2023 V. O. Key Award for my book, Congress and the First Civil Rights Era: 1861-1918 (with Justin Peck). Very grateful to the Award Committee:
@AngieMaxwell1
, Kelly Patterson & Michael Nelson. Look for the 2nd part of this story in the future!
As promised yesterday, I'm very pleased to announce:
The first annual Historical Political Economy Conference
To be held
@USC
on either Oct 18-19 or 19-20, 2024
Co-organized by
@as_hartnett
and myself
This is my first time doing this: but are there any PhD students out there interested in HPE from an American Politics perspective who are interested in working with me on a few small papers? I don't have any PhD students at the moment, but I do have a few paper ideas.
Today, I introduce .
Broadstreet is a blog dedicated to historical political economy (HPE), which is the study of how political and economic actors have interacted over time.
Just learned that
@Boris_Heersink
and I won the SPSAโs V.O. Key Award (for the best book on Southern politics) for our book Republican Party Politics and the American South 1865-1968. Very, very pleased!
A successful PhD defense today. Say hello to Dr. Nicholas Napolio!
@christiangrose
, Pam McCann, and
@raugpott
(via Zoom) pushed Nico a bit, but he held up well! Now off to UC-Riverside in the Fall.
@uscpoir
Downstream ideas, for post-COVID: what about a conference (ideally, an annual one) that would bring together economic historians and quantitative/formal political scientists with a deep interest in history?
Excited to report that my book, Congress and the First Civil Rights Era, 1861-1918, with Justin Peck (Wesleyan U) has won the V.O. Key award - given to the author(s) of the best book on Southern Politics published in the last couple years - from the SPSA.
@UChicagoPress
Very pleased to report that
@Boris_Heersink
and I are co-winners of the J. David Greenstone Prize from APSA's Politics & History section for the best book in history and politics in the past two calendar years.

โฉ on this, and very thankful for the excellent authors who agreed to work with us!
Congratulations to
@Boris_Heersink

@jaj7d
for winning the 2021
@SPSAnews
V.O.Key Award for REPUBLICAN PARTY POLITICS AND THE AMERICAN SOUTH, 1865โ1968!
In honor of this win, the 1st chapter is now free to read!
I'm teaching a course this semester to 2nd year PhD students that's supposed to be partly professionalization/socialization and partly "how to do research." (So not RD, but the mechanics of doing research.) Does anyone have a PhD syllabus like this? Or suggestions on readings?
Heard today that my book, Congress and the First Civil Rights Era, coauthored with Justin Peck (Wesleyan), will be published by University of Chicago Press in early March 2021.
New working paper with
@t_r_gray
: "Estimating Disfranchisement in U.S. Elections, 1870-1970." The first in what we hope to be a big project on historical disfranchisement in the United States.
If youโre looking to hire an excellent young scholar in American political institutions, look no further than
@NicholasNapolio
. He has *eleven* peer-reviewed publications already! Heโs primarily a scholar of the US bureaucracy, and has very solid methods training.
As people look ahead to 2023 โ
@AliCirone
and I have talked informally about doing an HPE pre-conference at the
@MPSAnet
in Chicago in April. What say you in Twitterland? Would you be interested in that? Would you attend?
Hi Folks.
@The_JOP
is still open for business. My team and I will work to keep decisions coming as quickly as we can. At the same time, we recognize the increased time commitments many reviewers now have, caring for family at home and learning on-line teaching on the fly.
Good news!
@AliCirone
and I are planning to organize a one day Historical Political Economy conference in Chicago, which will take place the day before the MPSA meetings begin. So: Wednesday, April 12.
Just a little context here: when I was a PhD student at UIUC, I saw a paper by
@cstewartiii
at MIT and asked about getting some of his data. He suggested we write a paper together instead. That led to a lot of downstream collaboration. Itโs about time I paid that forward.
This is my first time doing this: but are there any PhD students out there interested in HPE from an American Politics perspective who are interested in working with me on a few small papers? I don't have any PhD students at the moment, but I do have a few paper ideas.
HPE has an Oxford Handbook (
@jaredcrubin
) and a journal (
@JHPE_journal
). Next step? An annual conference. I'm in the beginning stages (with
@as_hartnett
) of planning the first one -- initial thought is the second week of October
@USC
. Stay tuned in the coming weeks for more info.
As some of you know, I'll be done with my editorship of the Journal of Politics at the end of this calendar year (2020). I've also rolled out a new specialized journal this year:
@JPIPE_journal
.
Are you teaching a Historical Political Economy (HPE) class in the Fall? If so, send me your syllabus! It would be great to start collecting/housing these in one place.
Also, here are some great essays to use in such a class!
I'm giving the opening plenary of this year's Public Choice Society conference on Thursday. I'll be speaking on -- broadly -- "What Is Historical Political Economy?" Based in part on the opening chapter of The Oxford Handbook of HPE (with
@jaredcrubin
).
REALLY stoked about this! Will be really fun!
(And keep an eye out soon for an announcement from me about an annual HPE conference, to begin in 2024 in the third week of October. At USC.)
I am ECSTATIC to announce that Jeff Jenkins (

Throwing this out there. Lots of political scientists have been doing good quantitative political history for a while now. But we rarely talk to economic historians. Iโd like to think of ways to get us communicating โ and maybe collaborating.
New version: Estimating Disenfranchisement in U.S. Elections, 1870-1970, with
@t_r_gray
. To be presented next week at the UCSD Political Economy conference. Comments welcome!
Two new books, hopefully dropping in 2020! First, with
@Boris_Heersink
, on the GOP and the American South, 1865-1968 (under contract, Cambridge). Second, with Justin Peck, on Congress and the First Civil Rights Era, 1865-1918 (under contract, Chicago).
Happy Day! My book with Justin Peck (Wesleyan) -- Congress and the First Civil Rights Era, 1861-1918 (University of Chicago Press) -- has appeared in the world! And it looks great! Not quite available for general purchase yet, but only a couple of weeks off.

Thought for Saturday: Iโm very fortunate that I get to study things I find interesting for a living, and that Iโm given support and encouragement to do so. I canโt imagine doing anything else. And I make sure to remind myself of these things as often as I can.
This Fall, I'll have a new course: Research Design for PhD students in Public Policy. 1st semester, 1st year course. I'd be grateful for any suggestions on books/papers to include -- or full syllabi -- from folks who have taught a similar course before. Links, DM, or email me!
Political Economy in Southern California is alive and well! We have a great group of scholars from a variety of schools that meets every few months to share work and enjoy each others' company. Next conference is at
@USCPrice
tomorrow. Check out the schedule:
Lots of comments lately about certain journals being REALLY slow at different stages of the review process. If you do PE, think about submitting your best work to
@JPIPE_journal
or
@JHPE_journal

(UPDATE)
Today, I introduce .

Finished (published) two big books in 2020 and 2021. Years of work went into each. I have other big book projects in mind, but the years ahead are tiring to think about!
RIP Mat McCubbins. He was my advisor's advisor, and his work on party government was incredibly influential when I was in grad school and trying to figure out my place in political science.

I've received many emails from PhD students based on my Twitter post yesterday (below). Thanks to all -- and I'll be in touch with each person in short order. Let me provide more specificity about the sorts of questions that I'm interested in. Thread.
This is my first time doing this: but are there any PhD students out there interested in HPE from an American Politics perspective who are interested in working with me on a few small papers? I don't have any PhD students at the moment, but I do have a few paper ideas.
For a scholar of the speakership, the 118th House is the gift that keeps on giving! Here's a recent paper that
@cstewartiii
and I wrote that helps frame the current politics:
The next issue of
@JHPE_journal
will have a review essay by Phil Hoffman. He takes three books and builds a critical essay around them. See below. My hope is to have more of these kinds of review essays in both
@JHPE_journal
and
@JPIPE_journal

I'm teaching Research Design to Public Policy PhD students again this semester. I'm looking for some fresh papers. Are there particular DiD, RDD, RCT, etc papers that you like? And that would be especially good for a set of (1st year) policy students?

Back in the day, the House used to fight about -- and have multiple ballots on -- the election of the Chaplain of the House! House organization politics used to be really crazy. See my book with
