Why did Putin invade Ukraine? A theory of degenerate autocracy

American Journal of Political Science, EarlyView.
Abstract Many dictatorships end up with a series of disastrous decisions such as Hitler's attack on the Soviet Union or Saddam Hussein's aggression against Kuwait. Even if a certain policy choice is not ultimately fatal for the regime, such as Mao's Big Leap Forward or the Pol Pot's collectivization drive, they typically involve both a miscalculation ...

Rulers on the road: Itinerant rule in the Holy Roman Empire, AD 919–1519

American Journal of Political Science, EarlyView.
Abstract Itinerant rule, rule exercised through traveling, was a common yet insufficiently researched, premodern form of governance. Studying the determinants of ruler itineraries in the Holy Roman Empire, AD 919–1519, we argue that rulers' visits targeted “marginal” elites.

Cost‐effectiveness of a transition from volatile anaesthesia to total intravenous anaesthesia to reduce carbon footprint: an economic modelling study

Anaesthesia, EarlyView.
Summary Introduction The UK NHS is committed to reaching net zero carbon emissions by 2040. Volatile anaesthetic agents are potent greenhouse gases and alternative intravenous methods exist. We aimed to predict the cost‐effectiveness of a transition from volatile anaesthesia to total intravenous anaesthesia to reduce carbon emissions. Methods A general

Heterogeneous Effect of Cost‐Of‐Living Crisis: Evidence From South Korea

Asian-Pacific Economic Literature, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The global economy faced a severe cost‐of‐living crisis due to the War in Ukraine and COVID‐19‐related supply chain damages. However, the official Consumer Price Index, which represents the average changes, has limitations in drawing a fuller picture of actual heterogeneity for policymakers.

Generative neural networks for experimental manipulation: Examining dominance‐trustworthiness face impressions with data‐efficient models

British Journal of Psychology, EarlyView.
Abstract An important development in the study of face impressions was the introduction of dominance and trustworthiness as the primary and potentially orthogonal traits judged from faces. We test competing predictions of recent accounts that address evidence against the independence of these judgements. To this end we develop a version of recent ‘deep
