Flоridа Internаtiоnаl University PH.D. IN PUBLIC AFFAIRS PROGRAM Cоmprehensive Examination Fall 2024 Method Day (10 AM – 2 PM) Answer the questions below. You need to address all parts of each question to which you are responding. Give equal attention to both sections. You are expected to provide coherent and thoughtful responses. Favero, N. (2024). Bureaucratic Beliefs and Representation: Linking Social Identities, Attitudes, and Client Outcomes. American Review of Public Administration, 54(4), 337-353. Favero 2024-1.pdf Quantitative Section Question 1: Define measurement validity and external validity and critique the article based on the two concepts. Outline how the limitations discussed by you could impact the findings. Question 2: How is mediation different from moderation? Explain one example of moderation (that may or may not be related to the article), write an equation that portrays the interaction effect featured in your example, and explain how to interpret the coefficients for the interaction term and the variables that make up the interaction. Question 3: Suppose that you had access to multi-year datasets for the relevant variables used by Favero (2024). Drawing on a quasi-experimental approach, explain a specific identification strategy to explore the causal effects of a bureaucrat’s racial and ethnic identity on bureaucratic inputs and outputs. Provide details on the assumptions of the model of your choice, discuss how potential sources of bias would be addressed, and identify the remaining threats that could affect your model results. Additionally, explain how you would interpret the coefficients of interest estimated by your model Qualitative Section Question 4: You are asked to conduct a qualitative study that complements Favero’s (2024) study on local school administrators in Texas. Propose a related research question that you will answer through qualitative research. Provide details on how you would select your case study sites if you were to utilize a holistic, multiple cases design to answer this research question. Now explain your research design in detail if your data collection methods in these case study sites were to include interviews, focus groups, and observation. How would triangulation of data collection methods in your case study sites enhance the quality of your qualitative research design? Please elaborate.
