Causal Inference With Spatial Econometric Models: Challenges and Applications for Epidemiologic Research

open access: yesGeographical Analysis, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Spatial econometric models have become very popular in recent years and have started to make their appearance in geospatial studies of health outcomes. Although explicit or implicit causal claims are widely made using these models, this article demonstrates with the use of causal graphs why causal vocabulary should be avoided.

Strategic Flip‐Flopping in Political Competition

open access: yesInternational Economic Review, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We study candidates' position adjustments in response to information about voters' preferences. Repositioning allows candidates to move closer to the median voter, but it incurs financial and electoral costs. In a subgame‐perfect equilibrium, candidates diverge from the center ex ante if the costs of adjustment are sufficiently large.

Medical Knowledge Integration Into Reinforcement Learning Algorithms for Dynamic Treatment Regimes

open access: yesInternational Statistical Review, EarlyView.
Summary The goal of precision medicine is to provide individualised treatment at each stage of chronic diseases, a concept formalised by dynamic treatment regimes (DTR). These regimes adapt treatment strategies based on decision rules learned from clinical data to enhance therapeutic effectiveness.

Sensemaking of Process Data from Evaluation Studies of Educational Games: An Application of Cross‐Classified Item Response Theory Modeling

open access: yesJournal of Educational Measurement, EarlyView.
Abstract Process information collected from educational games can illuminate how students approach interactive tasks, complementing assessment outcomes routinely examined in evaluation studies. However, the two sources of information are historically analyzed and interpreted separately, and diagnostic process information is often underused.

Best Before? Expiring Central Bank Digital Currency and Loss Recovery

open access: yesJournal of Money, Credit and Banking, EarlyView.
Abstract Physical cash enables payments in the absence of electricity or network coverage. Such offline payment functionality promotes the operational resilience and, particularly in developing countries, the accessibility of payments. Central banks are exploring issuing digital cash substitutes with similar offline payment functionality.
