Measuring racism with Google search
Using racially charged google searches as a proxy for racism, this paper by Seth Stephens-Davidowitz shows that Barak Obama lost 3-5 percentage points of the popular vote in 2008 because he is black. I found it very interesting and the emprical strategy invites imitation and application to other areas. Worth a look.
