An Agent‐Based Simulation of Politicized Topics Using Large Language Models
Digital platforms now act as the primary environments for public discourse, where recommender systems shape visibility, emotion, and interpretation. This study introduces the Recommender Systems LLMs Playground (RecSysLLMsP), a simulation framework designed to examine how algorithmic personalization interacts with language generation to influence engagement and polarization. The research provides a reproducible and transparent environment for tes…
Elite Networks
Elite Networks presents a novel explanatory factor behind the rise and persistence of income inequality: extractive political power. It shows how the collusion between political and corporate power affects the distribution of incomes. Its most important goal is to offer a different perspective on the long-run origins of inequality by introducing the concept of elite networks and examining their effects on the distribution of power and incomes. El…
Encounters in Video Art in Latin America
The comprehensive edited volume Encounters in Video Art in Latin America, edited by Elena Shtromberg and Glenn Phillips, unravels a complex history of making, exhibiting, storing, archiving, and preserving video art in Latin America. This decade-long undertaking dates back to a research project, Video Art in Latin America, initiated by the Getty Research Institute and led by the editors of this volume in 2012. Following the completion of their st…
The politics of bailouts
In 2008, as the financial crisis unfolded in the United States, the banking industry elevated its lobbying and campaign spending activities. By the end of 2008, and during 2009, the biggest political spenders, on average, received the largest bailout packages. Is that relationship causal? In this paper, I examine the effect of political connections on the allocation of funds from the Troubled Asset Relief Program (TARP) to the US financial servic…

Granting votes
Proxy Politics, Economic Protest, or Traditionalist Backlash
This article sheds light on the popular sources of opposition to the extension of gay rights in Eastern Europe by analysing the results of the 2013 Croatian referendum on the constitutional definition of marriage—the first referendum of this kind in Europe. Contrary to popular interpretations, our aggregate-level analysis reveals that the referendum results primarily reflected the pattern of support for the two principal electoral blocs, rather t…
Voting after war
Prosperity and peace
Studies of popular attitudes toward European integration have paid limited attention to the historical roots of voters’ security preferences. Using an original municipality-level data set, we test whether the pattern of voting in Croatia’s 2012 referendum on European Union accession was affected by the legacy of the country’s 1991–1995 war for independence or rather by economic factors. While finding evidence for the impact of the communities’ le…
