Nonparametric Identification of Latent Competing Risks and Roy Duration Models
No full textThis paper considers nonparametric identification of ``latent'' competing risks and Roy duration models in which one does not know which process has been observed. It is shown that these models are identifiable without the usual conditional independence and exclusion restrictions
United They Fall: Why the International Community Should Not Promote Military Integration after Civil War
No full textThe single strongest predictor of civil war is a nation having had one in the past, and preventing the recurrence of civil war has thus become the critical problem for both scholarship and policy. The conventional wisdom urges the creation of capable, legitimate, and inclusive postwar states to reduce the risk of relapse into civil war, and international peacebuilders have often encouraged the formation of a new national army including members of the war’s opposing sides. However, military integration has received little theoretical or empirical attention. Filling that gap, we argue that both the theoretical logics and the empirical record identifying military integration as a significant contributor to durable post-civil war peace are weak. Our analysis of eleven cases finds little evidence that military integration played a substantial causal role in preventing the return to civil war and little support for the likely causal mechanisms. Military integration does not usually send a costly signal of the parties’ commitment to peace, provide communal security, employ many possible spoilers, or act as a powerful symbol of a unified nation. We conclude that it is both unwise and unethical for the international community to press military integration on reluctant local forces.Based in part on a larger collective project: Roy Licklider (Ed.).

Rad51 paralog complex Rad55–Rad57 acts as a molecular chaperone during homologous recombination. Roy et al.
No full textWe investigated the role of Rad51 paralog complex Rad55–Rad57 in homologous recombination. We visualized Rad55–Rad57 dynamics at the single–molecule level, in real–time using total internal reflection fluorescence microscopy (TIRFM). Our data shows Rad55–Rad57 binds Rad51–ssDNA only transiently during early stages of Rad51 filament assembly, and strongly stimulates the rate of Rad51–ssDNA filament formation. Release of the paralog complex from the Rad51–ssDNA filament is dependent upon ATP hydrolysis by Rad55–Rad57. We also show that Rad55–Rad57 does not physically block translocation of the anti-recombinase Srs2, but rather counteracts it by promoting rapid Rad51 re-assembly
