Abstract Standardized mean differences (SMDs) are widely used to quantify treatment effects in cluster‐randomized trials. However, covariate adjustment in hierarchical linear models reduces the residual variance components used for standardization, which artificially inflates effect size estimates and undermines comparability across studies. We propose

Abstract Two classes of probabilistic models are compared: the true and error (TE) type models and models in the family of the basic local independence model (BLIM). The former finds applications in the study of human preference, whereas the latter has been developed within the theory of knowledge structures with the aim of producing knowledge ...

Universalism: an 11‐year longitudinal study
Abstract How individuals make trade‐offs between socially proximate or distant groups impacts upon a wide range of social, political and economic behaviours. This paper exploits Norwegian administrative register data over the 2012–2022 period to assess whether, and if so how, such ‘(moral) universalism’ develops as individuals age and go through major ...

Creative‐class dynamics, technological evolution and growth
Abstract This paper investigates the impact of creativity on technological advancement, long‐term economic development, and social welfare, where creativity is determined endogenously through interactions within social networks. The analysis shows that an economy remains stagnant, exhibiting neither networking nor long‐term growth, when the size of the

Ethnic Groups' Access to State Power and Group Size
ABSTRACT Ethnic‐based political inequality is widespread, yet its underlying drivers remain poorly understood. This paper shows that an ethnic group's relative size is a key correlate of its access to central executive power. Using data on 575 groups across 181 countries from 1946 to 2021, and restricting attention to non‐dominant groups, I document a ...

Kant's Solution to the Trilemma of Concept Formation
Abstract According to a widespread assumption, Kant's logical account of concept formation starts with comparison, where the latter involves concepts. On this assumption, the formation of a concept presupposes other concepts, so that the argument is threatened either by circularity, regress, or break‐off.
