Risk Assessment in Peacekeeping: Are Visual Sparse Models Transparent?

open access: yesRisk Analysis, Volume 46, Issue 9, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Decision and risk analysis tools must be accurate and transparent. Classification trees, especially sparse ones, and other visual models, such as scorecards or risk tables, have been claimed to strike this balance. There is, however, little empirical evidence for the transparency of such models. We derive relevant hypotheses and test them in a

Promoting Women to Managerial Roles in the Bangladeshi Garment Sector

open access: yesEconometrica, Volume 94, Issue 5, Page 1685-1716, September 2026.
Women remain disadvantaged in promotion to managerial positions. We conduct a field experiment with 24 large garment factories in Bangladesh to test for inefficient representation of women among line supervisors. We identify the marginal female and male candidates for supervisory positions and randomly assign them to manage production lines.

Early literacy and early numeracy: The value of including early literacy skills in the prediction of numeracy development
