Democracy and Markets in a Partially Globalized World: Local and Global Financial Market Responses to Elections in Developing Countries
No full textGlobal market responses to elections are at the core of debates about financial globalization in developing countries. While existing research focuses on the ability of global markets to reward and punish national governments, much less is known about the role of domestic finance. I argue that domestic financial markets (1) react more strongly to elections than global markets due to excessive exposure to political risk at home and (2) lead global market responses to elections where domestic investors have an information advantage. I find support for these hypotheses using data on country fund pricing for major emerging markets between 1988–2015. The results show swifter and more dramatic reactions by domestic investors, which are transmitted to international markets. The findings underscore the underappreciated role of domestic investors in state-market relations under limited globalization
Compensatory Experience-based Discrimination: Behavioral Evidence from Danish School Registries
No full textAre school teachers biased when grading students from certain groups? And if so, what is the direction of bias, and how can variation across teachers be explained? We develop an account of compensatory experience-based biases driven by a desire for grade equality and beliefs about the academic abilities of students from certain groups stemming from concrete classroom experiences. Based on large-scale longitudinal administrative data on Danish lower secondary teachers and their students, we find strong evidence for a robust and substantively large compensatory experienced-based bias. Teachers who experienced a visible demographic group (defined by gender or migration background) academically under-performing relative to a reference group show more positive bias towards that group than teachers where the same group did not under-perform. We find little evidence for alternative explanations of grading bias
The Math and the Path: Enhanced Advising and Postsecondary Progress
No full textThis project explores the effects of an enhanced advising intervention at a large, public, 4-year institution on measures of students’ postsecondary progress, performance, and completion. The intervention privileges face-to-face* interaction with advisors and augments advising appointments with pieces of information often absent from discussions of academic planning and progress, such as up-to-date financial aid information. We partnered with a large, public institution in North Carolina. We provided feedback to staff at that institution as they crafted the intervention to address students’ needs and reflect the institutional context. The intervention targets students who are at least halfway through college and remain at some risk of dropout. A team at the institution developed the holistic enhanced advising research trial (HEART) over the course of a year and will implement it during the 2020-21 academic year. Randomization will occur over the summer of 2020 so that treatment-group students can be contacted leading into fall 2020. Implementation will occur throughout the 2020-21 academic year. We will evaluate the effect of the treatment on 5-year graduation rates, as well as a number of intermediate outcomes along the path to completion, such as credits attempted and earned, year-to-year persistence, course performance (i.e., GPA by term), and declared academic major by term.
[* Due to COVID-19, all meetings with advisors will take place via videoconferencing technology.
The Role of Art Knowledge Training on Aesthetic Judgements and Executive Functions
No full textThe study of how we develop art knowledge can provide valuable insight into the structure of underlying cognitive systems that support art expertise and knowledge transfer to new contexts. An important question that is left largely unanswered is the extent to which art knowledge training impacts subsequent judgements of artworks and executive functions. Across three pre-registered experiments (N > 630 in total), which used a training intervention paradigm and multi-level Bayesian modelling approaches, we explore the ways in which art knowledge training impacts subsequent judgements of artworks and executive functions. Experiments 1 and 2 revealed an effect of art knowledge training on a range of aesthetic judgements for trained but not untrained artworks. These effects of training generalised to unseen artworks produced by the same artist (Exp. 1) or another artist with a similar style (Exp. 2), but not to different styles of visual art. Experiment 2 also showed that with larger training “doses” (>16 minutes of training), the effects of art training are larger, and the generalisation effects are stronger. Experiment 3 showed invariance of the attentional network to art training vs. non-art training, suggesting similar sensitivity of executive functions of attention to different kinds of training. These findings highlight that art knowledge shapes judgements of artworks and that art and non-art knowledge development have a similar impact on executive functions. This work shines new light on the cognitive systems that support learning and generalisation of learning to new contexts. Likewise, from an applied perspective, our research emphasises that learning and generalisation effects can occur rapidly with a freely available and relatively short (~16 minutes) training video
Early modern France and Austria as baroque states
No full textI believe that the description of “baroque” applies not only to France, but to many other early modern European states. One which I have been studying was Austria and the Habsburg lands. Like France, the Habsburg empire was composed of many territories which possessed their own traditions, customs, and institutions. This paper is an examination of France and the Habsburg monarchy in the early modern period, primarily the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, and their respective systems of government, to explain why both were baroque states

visualisations during interrogations
No full textThis simulated theft and interrogation experiment was part of a larger project about the use of visualizations during investigative interviews, commissioned by the Dutch Police and Science Funding Organization [Politie en Wetenschap]. We declare that there were no conflicts of interest. Co-author Gabry Vanderveen has sadly passed away in 2023 before finishing this study. Gabry has made significant contributions to funding acquisition, the experimental design, data collection, and reviewing/writing
More green, less depressed: Residential greenspace is associated with lower antidepressant redemptions in a nationwide population-based study
No full textThe objective of the current study was to investigate, for the first time, the association between individual-level residential greenspace and redemption of antidepressant drugs in a longitudinal nationwide population-based sample in Sweden. A nationwide population-based sample of adults residing in Sweden was studied during 2013–2016 (N individuals = 108716; N observations = 324378). Residential greenspace land cover was assessed via high resolution geographic information systems, at 50, 100, 300, and 500 m buffers around individual residences. Antidepressant redemptions were assessed through the Swedish National Prescribed Drug Register. Greenspace-antidepressant associations were analyzed using generalized estimating equations (GEE), adjusting for demographic, socioeconomic and urban factors. Higher greenspace within 50–500 m residential buffer zones was associated with lower levels of prevalent antidepressant redemptions (50 m, odds ratio [OR] 0.878; 100 m, OR 0.891; 300 m, OR 0.873; 500 m, OR 0.899), while only greenspace in the 50 m buffer was associated with incident antidepressant redemptions (OR 0.853), in covariate-adjusted models. In conclusion, residential greenspace is associated with statistically significantly lower prevalent and incident antidepressant medication redemptions. The association is particularly salient for greenspace in the closest buffer zone around the residence. The results underscore the importance of green infrastructure and greenspace in the immediate residential-surrounding environment for mental health, and further point towards the need for an environmental psychiatry framework, and the importance of integrating health and environmental policies, urban planning and greening
