Importing set-theoretic tools into quantitative research: The case of necessary and sufficient conditions
The Fracking Boom, Labor Structure, and Adolescent Fertility
Commute mode share and access to jobs across US metropolitan areas
How much of the variation in transit mode share is attributable to accessibility is not well understood, despite its significant policy implications. It is hypothesized that better transit accessibility leads to higher transit mode share. This paper explains block group level transit mode share using transit accessibility in a logistic model for 48 major US metropolitan areas. Transit accessibility alone explains much of the variation in transit …
Back to the Future: Democratic Responsiveness and the Estimation of Future Public Opinion
Research on the responsiveness of policy to public opinion has infrequently confronted the possibility that re-election seeking politicians’ policy choices may reflect their expectations about future public opinion. This article reports observational and experimental findings from a survey of senior Canadian policy-makers. Results from vignette-based experiments that manipulate the characteristics of current and estimates of future opinion show t…
The Effects of Revenue and Social Capital on Collective Governance: Implications for Political Complexity
We evaluate two models that may explain variation in the inclusiveness of governments and their ability to provision public goods. The revenue model predicts that a government’s source of revenue determines whether elites invest in effective bureaucracy and the provision of public goods that benefit wide swaths of society or the extraction of resources from society to benefit a limited network. In this model, a cooperative society with high socia…
The City is flatter: Changing patterns of job and labor access
Modeling the commute mode share of transit using continuous accessibility to jobs
Urban Scale Shifts since the Bronze Age: Upsweeps, Collapses, and Semiperipheral Development
This is a study of the growth and decline of cities for the purpose of identifying those events in which they significantly increased in size. Significant changes in the scale of cities are important for understanding the long-term trend toward more complex and hierarchical human societies. We report the results of an inventory of cycles, upsweeps, and collapses of settlements in five separate interpolity systems. Upsweeps are instances in which …
