  • Actual Fictions

    Open AccessRoger Smeets, Roel SmeetsBOOKActual Fictions2022

    This Element sheds a new light on the ubiquitous yet complex notion of mimesis. By systematically comparing the social dynamics of the Dutch population at a given time with the social dynamics of characters in Dutch literary fiction published in the same period, it aims to pinpoint the ways in and the extent with which literary fiction either mirrors or shapes the societal context from which it emerged. While close-reading-based scholarship on th…

  • Exploring the summer slide in the Netherlands

    Open AccessFrancette Broekman, Roger Smeets et al.ARTICLEInternational Journal of…2021

    This study considers the existence of a decline of academic skills in the summer – the so-called “summer slide” – in the context of a relatively short, six-week summer holiday. It further proposes that the extent of this decline will be moderated by home-based practice, and that this practice itself is a function of student and context-level factors. To investigate these issues, a pre-post (summer) study on mental arithmetic was conducted in the …

  • Modeling Conflict

    Open AccessRoger Smeets, Roel Smeets et al.ARTICLEJournal of Cultural Analytics2021

    This essay responds to a lack of scholarly attention for conflict as a narrative mechanism since the formalist models of Vladimir Propp and Algirdas Julien Greimas. Building on recent developments within cultural analytics, the essay argues for a new understanding of narrative conflict by integrating classic narratological models with data-driven, statistical methods. It does so by (a) proposing two computational models of conflict based on theor…

  • Entrepreneurial Culture and Economic Growth

    Open AccessSjoerd Beugelsdijk, Roger SmeetsARTICLEAmerican Journal of Economics and…2008Cited by: 3References: 29

    We reestimate McClelland's (1961) thesis on entrepreneurial culture and economic development. McClelland found a strong positive correlation between measures of need for achievement (N achievement) imagery in school textbooks and the subsequent rate of economic growth. Benchmarking our findings against generally accepted empirical growth models, we find no support for his thesis. This leads us to rethink the relationship between entrepreneurial c…
