This erratum corrects errors in the published version of our article “The Economic Consequences of Partisanship in a Polarized Era” (McConnell et al. 2018). One of the authors was reviewing the replication materials as he prepared to file his thesis. After discovering a coding error, we decided to conduct a full audit from the original source files to search for further issues and subsequently identified a few additional errors. Resolving these errors did not substantively change either the statistical results or our substantive conclusions (in Tables 1 and 2, we present a comparison of the original and corrected estimates). No changes were required for Table 3. In some cases, reducing measurement error strengthened the original findings. The overall conclusion of Studies 1 and 2 was that workers and buyers had more positive assessments of copartisan firms and did not have more negative assessments of counter-partisan firms. None of the corrections contradicts those findings. Nonetheless, we deeply regret these errors. More detail on these corrections can be found in McConnell et al. (2020).
