- Summary:
- Many researchers work with survey data and many work with observational data, but combining the two is less common. Among other things, doing so allows the researcher to compare objective and subjective measures. However, it can introduce its own set of challenges, as the researcher must choose appropriate objective measures at an appropriate level (e.g., local, regional, or national). I approached this problem when studying the relationship between economic evaluations, economic conditions, and support for the Tea Party. This case study reports how I found that support for the Tea Party predicts negative evaluations but actually living in an area with high unemployment does not predict support.
