Wine critic and winemaker gender alignment in sensory wine evaluation
Purpose This exploratory study offers the first cross-national analysis of gender alignment (i.e. situation where the wine evaluator and the winemaker share the same gender) effects in professional wine evaluation, using blind tasting data from Wine Enthusiast (Austria n = 3,307; Germany n = 1,779). Design/methodology/approach Using statistical analysis, including OLS regressions with heteroskedasticity-robust standard errors, we test whether eva…
Internal Legitimacy in a De Facto State
De facto states, which by definition lack international recognition, rely on internal legitimacy for their survival. Based on original survey data (N = 1663), this paper investigates internal legitimacy in the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus (TRNC), a de facto state, using a theoretical model which disaggregates internal legitimacy into three components – state, regime and institutions. Our regression analysis shows that the absence of collec…
A long‐term archival analysis of social influence on online wine evaluations
When forming opinions, people often rely on the behaviours and beliefs of others; this phenomenon has been understood by social psychologists as ‘social influence’. Online evaluations of goods provide a naturalistic context in which to investigate social influence. We collected information from 20,397 notes about 209 wines posted on a wine social networking site over the course of 10 years to examine the social influence on wine evaluations. Our …
Political Participation among Natives and Immigrants
Based on an original survey (n = 1,017), this paper examines citizens’ participation patterns in the ‘Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus’ (‘TRNC’), a de facto state recognised only by Turkey. Since 1974 the ‘TRNC’ has been receiving a constant flow of immigrants from its patron state (Turkey). While Turkish immigrants make up a sizeable proportion of the electorate, they seem to be underrepresented in the political arena. Our findings show that,…
Religion, Religiosity, and Corruption
High levels of corruption in a country could be detrimental to the overall well-being of the economy. Although legal enforcement mechanisms are in place for most countries, corruption still exists, even in the most developed countries. Researchers have tried to identify the correlates of corruption across different countries in the world. One major finding is that religious affiliation in a country tends to matter for the corruption level of that…

Impediments to trade across the Green Line in Cyprus
Cyprus is a divided island. Despite the lack of a comprehensive peace agreement reunifying the country, in 2004 trade commenced across the Green Line that separates the Greek and Turkish Cypriot communities. The volume of trade has grown steadily since, but has it reached its full potential? First, a gravity equation is estimated by using an 'out-of-sample' estimation strategy to predict potential trade for the period from 2004 to 2009. We observ…
