Accuracy of microtargeted policy positions / Endres, Kyle

Endres, Kyle	Journal Article
	0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)

Summary/Abstract

Identifying voters who share policy positions with the candidates has become an important component of modern political campaigns as they rely on microtargeted estimates to guide targeting decisions. Using survey data and microtargeted estimates from the 2012 election, I conduct one of the first independent examinations of the accuracy of microtargeting. The estimates are the most accurate in Florida, a state that requests information on the race of voters when they register and has party registration. The estimates are less accurate in the other battleground states that do not collect as much information. The accuracy rates range from 36% to 82% depending on the issue and state.

Increasingly unmanned future / Noronha, Joseph

2014.

Summary/Abstract

The main attraction of military UAVs stems form the fact that their acquisition and training costs are far lower than those of combat jets.They can also be operated or stored at a fraction of the cost of manned aircraft. Neither do drones risk the life of a pilot nor are they subject to physiological limitations. They can remain airbrone for prolonged periods - loitering at great height and striking or assisting strikes with devastating accuracy when an opportunity arises. On these and other counts, they are superior to fixed wing aircraft and cruise missiles. They will surely play a key role in most future conflicts.
