Competitive diplomacy in bargaining and war

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Political Science, EarlyView.
Abstract War is often viewed as a bargaining problem. However, prior to bargaining, countries can vie for leverage by expending effort on diplomacy. This article presents a dynamic model of conflict where agenda‐setting power is endogenous to pre‐bargaining diplomatic competition.

Cost–benefit analysis and ‘next best’ methods to evaluate the efficiency of social policies: As in pitching horseshoes, closeness matters

open access: yesAnnals of Public and Cooperative Economics, EarlyView.
Abstract Many policymakers are unwilling, or think that it is infeasible, to perform comprehensive cost–benefit analysis (CBA) of programmes in social policy arenas. What principles actually underlie CBA? An understanding is necessary to assess whether other evaluation methods are close enough to CBA to provide useful information on social efficiency ...

Enhancing generalizability theory with mixed‐effects models for heteroscedasticity in psychological measurement: A theoretical introduction with an application from EEG data

open access: yesBritish Journal of Mathematical and Statistical Psychology, EarlyView.
Abstract Generalizability theory (G‐theory) defines a statistical framework for assessing measurement reliability by decomposing observed variance into meaningful components attributable to persons, facets, and error. Classic G‐theory assumes homoscedastic residual variances across measurement conditions, an assumption that is often violated in ...

Latent Poisson count models for action count data from technology‐enhanced assessments

open access: yesBritish Journal of Mathematical and Statistical Psychology, EarlyView.
Abstract Recent advances in computerized assessments have enabled the use of innovative item formats (e.g., drag‐and‐drop, scenario‐based), necessitating a flexible model that can capture systematic influence of item types on action counts. In this study, we present a refinement scheme that can explicitly model common features of items and allows ...
