Replication data for: The Laws of War and Public Opinion: An Experimental Study

The development of treaties aimed at protecting civilians against violence resulted from war are paid with significant attention by international communities. To evaluate whether these treaties could reduce civilian casualties, Chilton (2015) examined one mechanism hypothesized to increase state compliance with the laws of war, that is, public opinions against state violation of the laws. This replication study is to test all of the four hypotheses in the original paper.

旨在保护平民免遭战争暴力侵害的条约制定工作，受到国际社会的广泛关注。为评估此类条约能否降低平民伤亡人数，奇尔顿（Chilton）于2015年针对一种被假设为可提升国家遵守战争法意愿的机制开展了研究，该机制即反对国家违反战争法的公众舆论。本复刻研究旨在对原论文中的全部四项假设进行验证。
