Diane Payne was Associate Professor in Sociology and director of the Dynamics Lab for Computational Social Science at University College Dublin. She obtained her PhD from the University of Groningen and held positions at University of Cambridge and Trinity College Dublin before. Diane passed away in April 2019. Johan A. Elkink is Associate Professor in Social Science Research Methods at University College Dublin. He specialises in quantitative methods in political science, in particular simulation-based research and spatial econometrics. Besides applications in voting behaviour in referendums and national elections, he wrote on the international diffusion of democracy and the evolution of personalist regimes. His work appeared, among other outlets, in the Journal of Politics, Comparative Political Studies, European Journal of Political Research and Electoral Studies.
