‘Mere Amateurs’? Elementary Teachers and the Making of Scientific Authority in the British Child Study Movement

open access: yesHistory, EarlyView.
Abstract This article offers new perspectives on the relationship between elementary teaching, scientific expertise and the professionalization of the human sciences. Previous scholarship has demonstrated the ready existence of ‘amateur’ science societies in the nineteenth century where cross‐class exchanges were common.

Hurricane‐induced risk contagion in commercial real estate: Evidence from Hurricane Sandy

open access: yesReal Estate Economics, EarlyView.
Abstract This study examines how hurricane‐induced destruction affects the prices of nearby undamaged commercial real estate properties, using Hurricane Sandy as a natural experiment. Using Real Capital Analytics transaction records spatially merged with Federal Emergency Management Agency building‐level damage data, we empirically employ a difference ...

The Development and Validation of Models of Risk for Behaviours That Challenge in Children With Developmental Disabilities: A Novel Machine Learning Approach

open access: yesJournal of Intellectual Disability Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Children with developmental disabilities show a high prevalence of behaviours that challenge (BtC). Thus, harnessing known risk markers to target early intervention to children at the greatest risk of BtC is essential. In this study, machine learning techniques were used to develop prediction models of risk (no, low and high ...
