An overview of modern machine learning methods for effect measure modification analyses in high-dimensional settings
A primary concern of public health researchers involves identifying and quantifying heterogeneous exposure effects across population subgroups. Understanding the magnitude and direction of these effects on a given scale provides researchers the ability to recommend policy prescriptions and assess the external validity of findings. Traditional methods for effect measure modification analyses require manual model specification that is often impract…
Impact of domestic violence legislation on reported intimate partner violence: A difference-in-differences analysis across 16 countries
Adoption of DV legislation may increase women's reported IPV victimization. Future research could explore effect heterogeneity across multiple socio-demographic subgroups and the potential mechanisms through which such policies may benefit women's health
Rewarding a friend: Does the World Bank direct non-commercial risk insurance to countries that support US foreign policy interests
Many scholars have investigated the politics of World Bank Group (WBG) lending, often finding that WBG loans are distributed in ways that advance US policy interests. However, the organisation’s other major activity, promoting foreign direct investment (FDI), has received little attention. This study fills this void in the literature, with attention to the Multilateral Investment Guarantee Agency (MIGA), the youngest of the five agencies that col…
The impact of state fragility on FDI inflows: The moderating role of natural resources and democratic governance in the Mena region
The main contribution of this study to international business research is to integrate state fragility as a multidimensional factor determining FDI inflows. After considering 17 countries in the MENA region for the period between 2002 and 2018, our results reveal that state fragility has a negative impact on inward FDI. However, this negative relationship turns out to be moderated by natural resource endowment and democratic governance. While low…
L’impact de la fragilité de l’État sur les IDE entrants: Le rôle modérateur des ressources naturelles et de la gouvernance démocratique dans la région Mena
The main contribution of this study to the research in international business is to integrate “state fragility” as a multidimensional factor determining FDI inflows. By examining 17 countries in the MENA region during the period from 2002 to 2018, our results reveal that state fragility has a negative impact on inward FDI. However, this negative relationship turns out to be moderated by the host‐country natural resource endowment and democratic g…
Saharan Dust and Childhood Respiratory Symptoms in Benin
Mineral dust is one of the largest natural constituents of coarse particulate matter (PM 10 ). Most of these dust emissions originate from northern Africa, and several hundred tera-grams of dust are emitted annually from this region. Previous evidence has linked dust PM 10 to adverse respiratory outcomes in children. However, most of these studies have been from high-income countries (HICs) or examined dust from other regions of the world, mainly…
Smoke and Covid-19 case fatality ratios during California wildfires
Recent evidence has shown an association between wildfire smoke and COVID-19 cases and deaths. The San Francisco Bay Area, in California (USA), experienced two major concurrent public health threats in 2020: the COVID-19 pandemic and dense smoke emitted by wildfires. This provides a unprecedented context to unravel the role of acute air pollution exposure on COVID-19 severity. A smoke product provided by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Assoc…
Seasonal droughts and the risk of childhood undernutrition in Ethiopia
Trump, trust and the transatlantic relationship
This article provides an original analysis of the crisis in transatlantic relations during the Trump presidency by drawing on two theories of trust: Hoffman's work on trusting interstate relationships, focused on decision-makers' policies, and Keating and Ruzicka's work on hedging strategies. Hoffman conceptualizes interstate trust as when the trustees are expected to “do what is right” because of shared norms and values; we compare this fiduciar…

After the floods: Differential impacts of rainfall anomalies on child stunting in India
Excessive rainfall increases the risk of child stunting in India. • Children from socially disadvantaged households display higher vulnerability to such shocks. • Investment in women’s education can significantly reduce the risk of child stunting
Balancing National Security and Data Protection: The Role of EU and US Policy‐Makers and Courts before and after the NSA Affair
Based on the unparalleled number of recent data protection reforms triggered by Snowden's revelations on both sides of the Atlantic, this article aims to examine the interplay between the two main transatlantic actors striking the balance between national security and privacy, namely EU and US policy‐makers and courts. We argue, on the one hand, that the NSA affair has opened a window to policy‐makers to pursue reforms in order to attain a level …

Le « jeu » entre le local et le global: Dualité Et Dialectique De La Globalisation
« Nous n’appartenons plus qu ́à un seul monde. Nous expérimentons des versions locales du monde et, en le faisant, nous devons nous localiser dans le contexte le plus large du global » Une petite nouvelle dans le domaine de la culture, annoncée au cours d’une émission du matin d’une des chaînes de télévision bulgares à la fin du mois de mars 2004, a attiré mon attention. Il s’agissait de la parution du premier numéro, traduit en bulgare, du fameu…
