Prevailing Party Laws and General Election Outcomes, Darren Grant, working paper here: https://profiles.shsu.edu/dpg006/ThemThatsGot.pdf.
Vernacular knowledge plays a key role in this working paper of mine that examines the effect of ballot order on vote share in nearly half a century of Wyoming elections. In previous research I had analyzed quasi-randomized ballot orders, as is standard in the literature, because they offer "clean identification." Never did I pause to think that these might have milder effects than other methods of ordering candidates--a possibility unconsidered in the literature. I had never taken in the body of existing research (largely in other fields) that describes the variety of possible framing effects that could be generated by ballot order. In that sense, I lacked the requisite vernacular knowledge.
Two purposes of vernacular knowledge listed in Ch. 4 are to "indicate the relevance or irrelevance of economic and social forces" and gauging "the sensitivity of the model and its findings to the institutional social and technical environment." This article shows how vernacular knowledge can do both, making it a great complement to Article #11.
