标题： A Critique of Dyadic Design

摘要： 二元研究设计关注由行为者之间的互动构成的数据。二元方法无疑是在国际政治经验研究中使用最频繁的设计，但这些设计在理论主张和统计问题方面带来了什么？这两个问题紧密交织在一起。当实证检验假设时，统计模型必须是对被检验理论的仔细操作化。鉴于理论和统计无法分开，我们从这两个角度讨论二元研究设计；强调理论方面的模型误设、对事件独立性的错误假设、人为的分析层次以及对多边/多方事件的不一致处理，以及统计方面的难以避免的有效推理挑战。 显示英文摘要

摘要： Dyadic research designs concern data that comprises interactions among actors. Dyadic approaches unambiguously constitute the most frequent designs employed in the empirical study of international politics, but what do such designs cary with them in terms of theoretical claims and statistical problems? These two issues are closely intertwined. When testing hypotheses empirically, the statistical model must be a careful operationalization of the theory being tested. Given that the theoretical and statistical cannot be separated, we discuss dyadic research designs from these two perspectives; highlighting model misspecification, erroneous assumptions about independence of events, artificial levels of analysis, and the incoherent treatment of multilateral/multiparty events on the theoretical side and difficult-to-escape challenges to valid inference on the statistical side.
