Donald Green
Donald Philip Green is a political scientist and quantitative methodologist at Columbia University. Green's primary research interests lie in the development of statistical methods for field experiments and their application to American voting behavior.[1]
Biography
In 1983, Green graduated summa cum laude with a B.A. in Political Science and History from UCLA. In 1984 he earned an M.A. and in 1988 a Ph.D. in Political Science at the University of California, Berkeley.[2]
Green's career in academia began in 1989, when he became an Assistant Professor in the Department of Political Science at Yale University. He was there until 2011, when he moved to Columbia University.[3] At Yale, he also served as the Director of the Institution for Social and Policy Studies, Yale's center for interdisciplinary research in the social sciences and public policy, from 1996 to 2011.[4]
To date, Green has authored or coauthored four books and over 100 journal articles and book chapters. He was elected to the American Academy of Arts and Sciences in 2003 and was awarded the Heinz I. Eulau Award for best article published in the American Political Science Review during 2009.[5]
In 2014, Green and a UCLA graduate student Michael LaCoeur published a highly-publicized study on attitudes towards same-sex marriage in Science; a year later, however, Green requested that the article be withdrawn after anomalies were found in its data.[6]
Green was named a 2015 Andrew Carnegie Fellow, for which he will receive a $200,000 award to support his research.[7]
