Figure 2.
A line graph showing expected posterior versus number of phrases for 1950, 1975, and 2018.The graph shows expected posterior on the Y-axis from 0.5 to 1.0 and number of phrases on the X-axis from 0 to 100. Three lines are shown. The 1950 line increases gradually from about 0.5 to about 0.73. The 1975 line rises more steeply from about 0.5 to about 0.85. The 2018 line increases steadily from about 0.5 to about 0.69, remaining below the other two lines across the full range of phrases.

Magnitude of polarization when more than 1 phrase is heard

Note(s): Figure shows the expected posterior of guessing the group identity right after hearing up to 100 words. The analysis is conducted similarly as in Gentzkow et al. (2019)
