Summary:In recent years Brady's scholarly agenda has continued to expand without apparent limit, including new and forthcoming work on political identity, voting technology, the logic of causal inference, the structure of political cleavages, and the impact of welfare policies, among other topics. Interpersonally Incomparable Responses, Brady (1985a) provided a patient, intuitive analysis of the problem of interpersonal incomparability, specifying the (quite precarious) conditions under which observed correlations are unaffected by individual differences in the interpretation of response options and providing a simple example of how statistical models can go wrong when those conditions do not hold.\n Brady and Kaplan's joint work powerfully merges his data-analytic skills and longstanding interest in the pivotal role of the mass public in social change with Kaplan's expertise in comparative politics and longstanding interest in the role of ethnicity and social identity.
