Comparative AI‐Based Framework for Name‐Based Demographic Inference in the Indian Subcontinent
Engineering Reports, Volume 8, Issue 6, June 2026.A multi‐task framework of five AI models (SVM, XGBoost, LightGBM, BiLSTM, and XLM‐RoBERTa) infers nationality, religion, and gender from personal names across seven Indian subcontinent countries. Character‐level TF‐IDF with SVM achieves the highest accuracy: 83.23% for nationality, 92.94% for religion, and 92.67% for gender across 7581 names.

Idiosyncratic Political Risk and Bad News Hoarding
Financial Review, Volume 61, Issue 2, Page 659-685, May 2026.ABSTRACT Managers may respond to greater political risk by suppressing unfavorable news from outsiders to manage investors’ perceptions about firm risk and protect their careers. However, they may also avoid engaging in bad news hoarding activities because exposure to political risk increases firm visibility and attracts greater scrutiny. Using a novel

Understanding Significance Tests From a Non-Mixing Markov Chain for Partisan Gerrymandering Claims
Statistics and Public Policy, 2019 Recently, Chikina, Frieze, and Pegden proposed a way to assess significance in a Markov chain without requiring that Markov chain to mix. They presented their theorem as a rigorous test for partisan gerrymandering. We clarify that their ε-outlier test is

Do Women Legislators Legislate Differently Than Men on Gun‐Related Policy? A Suggestive Yes
Legislative Studies Quarterly, Volume 51, Issue 2, May 2026.ABSTRACT Polls show that men are less likely to support gun restrictions than women, but do voter preferences translate into elite behavior? To answer this question, we use a novel dataset of hand‐coded state firearm legislation across six politically diverse states (California, Florida, Iowa, Illinois, Michigan, Texas) to construct an 11‐year panel ...

American Journal of Political Science, Volume 70, Issue 2, Page 453-470, April 2026.Abstract US state legislatures are critical policymaking institutions that are increasingly polarized, yet data and measurement limitations have prevented researchers from understanding how state legislative elections contribute to this polarization. To address this gap, we construct new measures of candidate ideology based on campaign contributions ...

School choice and residential commute times
Real Estate Economics, Volume 54, Issue 2, Page 424-468, March 2026.Abstract Using New York City Department of Education administrative data matched with transit information, we are able to better quantify commute time and path considerations as they relate to school choice programs. We find longer commutes from home markedly deter students from applying to even the most elite high schools. For the top public school, a
