Proattitudinal versus counterattitudinal messages: Message discrepancy, react...
A boomerang effect involves the movement of a message recipient's belief, attitude, or behavior in a direction contrary to the advocated position in the message. There has been... -
Multiple regression model averaging and the focused information criterion wit...
We consider multiple regression (MR) model averaging using the Focused Informati on Criterion (FIC). Our approach is motivated by the problem of implementing a mean-variance... -
Measuring subnational democracy: toward improved regime typologies and theori...
ABSTRACTSocial scientists have been limited in their work by the paucity of global time series data about subnational institutions and practices. Such data could help scholars... -
A minimalistic approach for evapotranspiration estimation using the Prophet m...

Cross-tier personal gains in mixed electoral systems
We extend the research on contamination effects in mixed-member electoral systems by considering the impact of “dual candidacies” in systems that combine SMD and open-list PR... -
Evaluation of Model Fit in Structural Equation Models with Ordinal Missing Da...
In many applied situations, the questionnaire items in measurement instruments do not approximate continuous, normally distributed variables but instead are ordinal. Properties... -
Designing a data-driven leagile sustainable closed-loop supply chain network
Nowadays, there is a great deal of interest in applying sustainability concepts for logistics and supply chain management. This paper proposes a new multi objective model in the... -
