Local Search and the Evolution of World Models
Topics in Cognitive Science, EarlyView., 2023 Abstract An open question regarding how people develop their models of the world is how new candidates are generated for consideration out of infinitely many possibilities. We discuss the role that evolutionary mechanisms play in this process. Specifically, we argue that when it comes to developing a global world model, innovation is necessarily ...

Mitigating policy uncertainty: What financial markets reveal about firm‐level lobbying
American Journal of Political Science, EarlyView.Abstract Elections can lead to substantial policy changes and, thus, are a significant source of risk. Firms can respond to such policy uncertainty by lobbying, but it is hard to quantify whether they do so and, if so, how much lobbying benefits them. We construct a new dataset and leverage investors’ expectations of variability in stock returns in the

Denialist beliefs, typically endorsed on the political right, claim that climate change is exaggerated, whereas warmist beliefs, more ...

ReMoDe – Recursive modality detection in distributions of ordinal data
British Journal of Mathematical and Statistical Psychology, EarlyView.Abstract The detection of the number of modes in distributions of ordinal data is relevant for applied researchers across disciplines, from uncovering polarization to detecting incidence groups in clinical symptom scales. Yet, established modality detection methods are either purely descriptive or not developed for ordinal data.

Multivariate extensions of Spearman's rho and related statistics
Multivariate measures of association are considered which, in the bivariate case, coincide with the population version of Spearman's rho. For these measures, nonparametric estimators are introduced via the empirical copula.

Asymptotic standard errors for reliability coefficients in item response theory
British Journal of Mathematical and Statistical Psychology, EarlyView.Abstract In a recent review, Liu et al. (Psychological Methods, 2025b) classified reliability coefficients into two types: classical test theory (CTT) reliability and proportional reduction in mean squared error (PRMSE). This article focuses on quantifying the sampling variability of these coefficients under item response theory (IRT) models.
