Economics & Human Biology, 2021 We ask whether mortality from historical pandemics has any predictive content for mortality in the Covid-19 pandemic.

Journal of Social Computing, 2021 This study leverages a high dimensional manifold learning design to explore the latent structure of the pandemic policymaking space only based on bill-level characteristics of pandemic-focused bills from 1973 to 2020. Results indicate the COVID-19 era of policymaking maps extremely closely onto prior periods of related policymaking.
