The choice argument for proportional representation

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Political Science, EarlyView.
Abstract What electoral system should a democracy choose? I argue for proportional representation (PR). My main empirical premise is Duverger's law: Under PR there are more viable candidates in district‐level elections than there are under single‐member plurality (SMP) systems.

Seeing like a citizen: Experimental evidence on how empowerment affects engagement with the state

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Political Science, EarlyView.
Abstract Building a strong and effective state requires revenue. Yet, in many low‐income countries, citizens do not make formal payments to the state or forego engaging with the state altogether due to vulnerability to opportunistic demands by state agents. We study two randomized interventions in Kinshasa, Democratic Republic of the Congo, designed to

Modification of a breast pump suction pattern increases milk yield during the first 4 days postpartum

open access: yesActa Obstetricia et Gynecologica Scandinavica, EarlyView.
Adding 5 min of nutritive suction to a standard pumping protocol significantly increases early milk removal in the first 4 days postpartum. This simple adjustment is particularly effective in the first 2 days, when colostrum volumes are low. Optimizing early pumping strategies may improve access to colostrum and support lactation initiation in mothers ...

Interpreting the structure–function relationship in high myopia‐associated glaucoma: A review

open access: yesActa Ophthalmologica, EarlyView.
Abstract Visual field (VF) interpretation in high myopia‐associated glaucoma (HMG) is challenging due to frequent structure–function discordance and coexisting myopia‐related changes. These changes may reduce the reliability of conventional structure–function mapping and increase the risk of misclassifying non‐glaucomatous VF abnormalities as ...

Co‐operatives and public policy: A scoping review

open access: yesAnnals of Public and Cooperative Economics, EarlyView.
Abstract We sketch a first‐ever map of the scholarly literature on co‐operatives and public policy from a selection of English‐language studies published since 2000 using a scoping review methodology. We find that while co‐operatives are often framed as solutions to societal problems, few scholars draw on formal public policy theories.
