Social networks and voter turnout
Royal Society Open Science, 2023 This paper develops a model of voter turnout that embeds Riker and Ordeshook’s (1968 Am. Pol. Sci. Rev. 62, 25–42 (doi:10.2307/1953324)) calculus of voting into the context of a social network.

Turnout Across Democracies [PDF]
American Journal of Political Science, 2015 World democracies widely differ in legislative, executive, and legal institutions. Different institutional environments induce different mappings from electoral outcomes to the distribution of power. We explore how these mappings affect voters' participation in an election. We show that the effect of such institutional differences on turnout depends on

Decentralization and Voter Turnout [PDF]
Environment and Planning C: Government and Policy, 2011 With this paper we study the impact of decentralization on turnout. We test the hypotheses that decentralization increases turnout in subnational elections, lowers participation in national elections, and reduces the gap between regional and national arenas. A comparative cross-national analysis does not show any significant effect of decentralization

Simulation of Train-Turnout Coupled Dynamics Using a Multibody Simulation Software
Modelling and Simulation in Engineering, 2018 With the advancements of computing power, multibody simulation (MBS) tool is used to study not only train dynamics but also more realistic phenomena such as train-track coupled dynamics. However, train-turnout coupled dynamics within MBS is still hard to
