Polarization over the priority of political problems

American Journal of Political Science, EarlyView.
Abstract What drives ideological division about political problems? When prioritizing which problems are most in need of redress, voters might disagree about the severity of individual outcomes that constitute such problems; the prevalence of those problems; or whether such problems are amenable to solution by government action. We field a large survey

Assessing the link between social capital and health outcomes in the Italian regions: An empirical analysis

Annals of Public and Cooperative Economics, EarlyView.
Abstract An extensive literature demonstrates a positive relationship between social capital and health. However, empirical analyses within the Italian context remain limited. This study contributes to the existing literature by expanding the empirical evidence on this topic for Italy, employing an ecological approach.

From tetrachoric to kappa: How to assess reliability on binary scales

British Journal of Mathematical and Statistical Psychology, EarlyView.
Abstract Reliability is crucial in psychometrics, reflecting the extent to which a measurement instrument can discriminate between individuals or items. While classical test theory and intraclass correlation coefficients are well‐established for quantitative scales, estimating reliability for binary outcomes presents unique challenges due to their ...

Bayesian analysis of a multivariate spatial ordered probit model

Communications in Statistics - Simulation and Computation, 2021
Many phenomena are correlated and spatially dependent. In addition, some of them are ordinal discrete responses. Thus, a model is needed to capture the interactions of multivariate ordinal outcomes and spatial dependences. Following Smith and LeSage (2004) and Jeliazkov et al.
