Geometric standardized mean difference and its application to meta‐analysis
British Journal of Mathematical and Statistical Psychology, EarlyView.Abstract The standardized mean difference (SMD) is a widely used measure of effect size, particularly common in psychology, clinical trials and meta‐analysis involving continuous outcomes.

Contemporary Economic Policy, EarlyView.Abstract We examine how minimum wage regulation affects firm profit when labor‐market power interacts with product‐market competition. A binding wage floor reduces the regulated firm's marginal labor cost, inducing it to expand production. This expansion can induce rivals to contract production when relevant strategic variables are strategic ...

When in Doubt, Tax More Progressively? Uncertainty and Progressive Income Taxation
International Economic Review, EarlyView.ABSTRACT We study the optimal income tax problem under parameter uncertainty about household preferences and wage dynamics. We derive conditions characterizing how such uncertainty affects optimal tax policy. To quantify the effect, we estimate a life‐cycle model using US data and a Bayesian approach.
