ABSTRACT Land use policies, though seemingly race‐neutral, can inadvertently contribute to racial segregation. Our study focuses on examining the impact of minimum lot size regulations on the likelihood of ethnic minorities integrating into a community, which reveals compelling evidence suggesting that black households exhibit a preference for smaller ...

Chromatic PAC-Bayes Bounds for Non-IID Data.
Pac-Bayes bounds are among the most accurate generalization bounds for classifiers learned with \iid data, and it is particularly so for margin classifiers. However, there are many practical cases where the training data show some dependencies and where the traditional \iid assumption does not apply.

Fiscal Policy Regimes in Resource‐Rich Economies
ABSTRACT We analyse fiscal policy in resource‐rich economies using a novel Bayesian regime‐switching panel model. The identified regimes capture pro‐ or countercyclical fiscal behaviour by allowing regime‐specific shifts in the average fiscal stance, while the switches between the regimes have the interpretation of changes in fiscal policy.

Gender, Stereotypes, and Competitive Performance Gap: An Experimental Investigation
ABSTRACT This study investigates how participants in competition react to gender stereotypes in performance. We propose two novel gender‐oriented tasks: clicking as a male‐oriented task and face recall as a female‐oriented task with two treatment conditions, which can strengthen shared gender stereotypes and foster gender competition.
