Impact of Geography on Institutions in Agricultural and Nomadic Societies

open access: yesInternational Studies of Economics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT How geography affects the choice of institutions is studied in a theoretical model. In this model, nations are located around a circle. Rulers compete through choosing tax rates, the level of military spending, and the degree of formality of institutions. Geographic condition is captured by population density.

Robust Tests of Forecast Accuracy for Factor‐Augmented Regressions With an Application to the Novel EA‐MD‐QD Dataset

open access: yesJournal of Applied Econometrics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We present four novel tests of equal predictive accuracy and encompassing á Pitarakis (2023, 2025) for factor‐augmented regressions. Factors are estimated using cross‐section averages (CAs) of grouped series and our theoretical findings are empirically relevant: asymptotic normality, robustness to an overspecification of the number of factors,

Intersection Numbers of the Natural Embedding of the Twisted Triality Hexagon T ( q 3 , q ) ${\mathsf{T}}({q}^{3},q)$ in PG ( 7 , q 3 ) ${\mathsf{PG}}(7,{q}^{3})$

open access: yesJournal of Combinatorial Designs, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In this paper, we study and characterise the natural embedding of the twisted triality hexagon T ( q 3 , q ) ${\mathsf{T}}({q}^{3},q)$ in PG ( 7 , q 3 ) ${\mathsf{PG}}(7,{q}^{3})$. We begin by describing the possible intersections of subspaces of PG ( 7 , q 3 ) ${\mathsf{PG}}(7,{q}^{3})$ with T ( q 3 , q ) ${\mathsf{T}}({q}^{3},q)$.

Transforming Solutions for the Oberwolfach Problem into Solutions for the Spouse‐Loving Variant

open access: yesJournal of Combinatorial Designs, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The Oberwolfach problem OP ( F ) $\mathrm{OP}(F)$, for a 2‐factor F $F$ of K n ${K}_{n}$, asks whether there exists a 2‐factorization of K n ${K}_{n}$ (if n $n$ is odd) or K n − I ${K}_{n}-I$ (if n $n$ is even) where each 2‐factor is isomorphic to F $F$. Here, I $I$ denotes any 1‐factor of K n ${K}_{n}$. For even n $n$, the problem OP( F ) $(F)
