Keeping Pace or Falling Behind? The Depth of Latin American Trade Agreements

Applied Economic Perspectives and Policy, Volume 48, Issue 5, Page 1383-1402, December 2026.
ABSTRACT This article examines whether Latin American countries are keeping pace with global trends in trade agreement depth or falling behind. Using 681 agreements (1970–2019), we develop the Depth Index of Trade Agreements (DITA) to weight provisions endogenously through factor analysis based on co‐occurrence patterns.

Evidence‐based design guidelines for holistic scoring of student tasks: A systematic literature review

Review of Education, Volume 14, Issue 3, December 2026.
Abstract Since holistic scoring leaves room for multiple solutions and creativity, it seems an efficient and effective way to evaluate student performance. However, in practice, there are different views of what holistic scoring entails, what matching instruments look like, and how they should be designed to reap the benefits and avoid the drawbacks ...

Supramolecular Mechanophore Additives Enable Mechanochromic Hydrogels

Angewandte Chemie, Volume 138, Issue 44, 26 October 2026.
A supramolecular loop‐forming mechanophore featuring a quencher and an emitter is incorporated as a water‐soluble macromolecular additive into hydrogels. In the stress‐free state, intramolecular charge‐transfer interactions fold the loop and quench fluorescence.

Devising a Principled Rapid Guessing Workflow: Identification, Impact, and Treatment of Rapid Guessing in Cognitive Assessment

Educational Measurement: Issues and Practice, Volume 45, Issue 4, Winter 2026.
Abstract Low‐stakes assessments are particularly vulnerable to rapid guessing behavior, where responses may reflect minimal cognitive engagement, potentially biasing scores and weakening inferences. Drawing on a scoping review of more than 70 studies, we summarize how rapid guessing is identified, its impact on key parameters, and how it is treated ...

Analyzing experimental data using the Rasch model [PDF]

, 1998
We present a method for studying experimental data based on a psychometric model, the "Rasch model" (Rasch, 1966; Thissen & Steinberg, 1986). We illustrate the method with the use of a data set in the field of concept research.
