Women on the ballot and women at the polls: how women's representation shapes voter turnout in local elections

open access: yesPolitical Science Research and Methods
We argue that more female candidates on the ballot will decrease the gender participation gap at the polls. We test this hypothesis with data from Italian local elections between 2008 and 2020, taking advantage of a 2012 law requiring at least a third of

Testing for the Unconfoundedness Assumption Using an Instrumental Assumption

open access: yesJournal of Causal Inference, 2014
The identification of average causal effects of a treatment in observational studies is typically based either on the unconfoundedness assumption (exogeneity of the treatment) or on the availability of an instrument.

Multisensory Causal Inference in the Brain [PDF]

open access: yesPLOS Biology, 2015
At any given moment, our brain processes multiple inputs from its different sensory modalities (vision, hearing, touch, etc.). In deciphering this array of sensory information, the brain has to solve two problems: (1) which of the inputs originate from the same object and should be integrated and (2) for the sensations originating from the same object,
