Criminology, EarlyView.Abstract Three‐quarters of US prisons offer vocational training programs, which aim to place trainees in middle‐skills jobs in specific occupational sectors post‐release. These middle‐skills jobs may more effectively reduce recidivism than the jobs that normally characterize the labor market experience of the formerly incarcerated, yet whether ...

Bound by blood and bloodshed: Sibling ties and participation in genocidal violence
Criminology, EarlyView.Abstract Focusing on the 1994 genocide in Rwanda, we examine how sibling relationships—one of the most salient familial bonds—influence individual engagement in violence during mass atrocity. Drawing on an adaptation of differential association and social learning theories for contexts of mass atrocity, we analyze a novel dataset linking over 300,000 ...

The RAND Journal of Economics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT We propose a tractable model of asymmetric platform oligopoly with logit demand in which users from two distinct groups are subject to within‐group and cross‐group network effects and decide which platform to join. We characterize the equilibrium when platforms manage user access by setting participation fees for each user group.

Individualised niches in a variable environment—Consequences for environmental change responses
Methods in Ecology and Evolution, EarlyView.Abstract Intraspecific trait variation (ITV) can be important for population performance in a variable and changing environment because individuals with different traits have different fitness responses. Furthermore, there are three mechanisms via which individuals can interact with their environment to potentially improve fitness: niche conformance ...

A High-dimensional Multinomial Logit Model
Journal of Applied EconometricsThe number of parameters in a standard multinomial logit model increases linearly with the number of choice alternatives and number of explanatory variables. Since many modern applications involve large choice sets with categorical explanatory variables, which enter the model as large sets of binary dummies, the number of parameters in a multinomial ...

Annals of Applied Biology, EarlyView.Disease severity in crop protection field trials is commonly assessed as a proportion represented as a percentage. Traditional statistical analysis uses transformation to logit or angle. This study compares analyses based on the beta distribution and the quasi‐likelihood method with the logit transform using a large global data set of field trials ...
