It’s the practice, not the pew: Religious attendance, denominational differences, and political participation in Taiwan
Does the robust Western finding that religious attendance predicts political participation hold in non-Christian democracies? We test this using pooled data from three waves of the Taiwan Election and Democratization Study. In Taiwan, the dominant religions—Buddhism, Taoism, and folk religion—lack the Protestant congregational structures that theoretically drive civic skill-building. We find that religious attendance robustly predicts political p…
Covid ‐19, Institutional Trust, and Citizens' Willingness to Trade Freedoms for Security in the Asia‐Pacific Region
When do citizens accept authoritarian measures in the name of public safety? Using Asian Barometer Survey Wave 6 data from eight Asia‐Pacific countries spanning democracies, electoral democracies, and hybrid regimes, this article examines acceptance of five pandemic‐era freedom restrictions: postponing elections, limiting speech and assembly, censoring media, tracking locations, and extending lockdowns. Personal COVID‐19 hardship weakly predicts …
Improving Estimation Efficiency via Regression-Adjustment in Covariate-Adaptive Randomizations with Imperfect Compliance
We investigate how to improve efficiency using regression adjustments with covariates in covariate-adaptive randomizations (CARs) with imperfect subject compliance. Our regression-adjusted estimators, which are based on the doubly robust moment for local average treatment effects, are consistent and asymptotically normal even with heterogeneous probabilities of assignment and misspecified regression adjustments. We propose an optimal but potentia…
Research on the Evaluation and Spatial Distribution Optimization of the Field Intensity Effect of Rural Basic Education Infrastructure in Wuhan’s New Urban District: A Case Study of Liji Township
Education infrastructure is a critical public service facility in rural areas. The evaluation of rural education infrastructure could have important implications for the spatial distribution optimization of public educational services in countryside regions. Based on the elementary education data and survey data of Liji Town in 2022, this paper built an index evaluation system for Liji Township to explore the optimized spatial distribution mode o…
The Asymmetric Effect of Market Uncertainty on Safe havens, Inverted Asymmetry and Contagion During Covid-19 Periods
This study examines the asymmetric effect of stock market uncertainty on the safe-haven status, asymmetric volatility, and contagion/flight characteristics of gold, bonds, exchange rates, crude oil, and Bitcoin during the COVID-19 pandemic in the US, Eurozone and Japan. Utilizing a quantile-based double-threshold GJR-GARCH model, we analyze how increased stock market uncertainty, indicated by high implied volatility, impacts the behavior of these…
Bootstrap Inference for Quantile Treatment Effects in Randomized Experiments with Matched Pairs
This paper examines methods of inference concerning quantile treatment effects (QTEs) in randomized experiments with matched-pairs designs (MPDs). Standard multiplier bootstrap inference fails to capture the negative dependence of observations within each pair and is therefore conservative. Analytical inference involves estimating multiple functional quantities that require several tuning parameters. Instead, this paper proposes two bootstrap met…
Elucidation of anti-pneumonia pharmacodynamic material basis and potential mechanisms of Xiebai San by combining spectrum–efficacy relationship and surface plasmon resonance
The Study of Regional Innovation Network Structure: Evidence from the Yangtze River Delta Urban Agglomeration
As a driving force for regional development, innovation holds an increasing position in regional competitiveness, and a reasonable and coordinated innovation network structure can promote high-quality regional development. Utilizing the modified gravity model and social network analysis method, an innovation network composed of 27 cities in the Yangtze River Delta urban agglomeration from 2010 to 2021 was studied. The following conclusions were f…
A predictive model for hyperuricemia among type 2 diabetes mellitus patients in Urumqi, China
Our study reveals that there were 8 variables that can be considered as independent risk factors for HUA among T2DM patients. In light of our findings, a predictive model was developed and clinical advice was given on its use
Spatial Pattern and Influencing Factors of Basic Education Resources in Rural Areas around Metropolises—A Case Study of Wuhan City’s New Urban Districts
Basic education resources are basic urban and rural social public security resources, and their spatial distribution is an important issue related to people’s livelihoods and social justice. Taking Wuhan as a case study, this paper analyzed the spatial distribution characteristics of rural basic education resources based on the methods of the average nearest neighbor index, imbalance index, kernel density analysis and two-step floating catchment …
Characteristics and Influencing Factors of Spatial Differentiation of Market Service Industries in Rural Areas around Metropolises—A Case Study of Wuhan City’s New Urban Districts
Market services industries are closely related to residents’ lives, and its spatial distribution has an important impact on satisfying residents’ consumption needs and promoting economic development. In recent years, with the rapid development of urban–rural integration and the gradual implementation of a rural revitalization strategy, rural areas around metropolises have become the “frontier” of urban geographic expansion, causing the rural mark…
Exposure to Campaign and Partisan Voting: The Moderating Roles of Voters' Political Predispositions
How do partisan citizens respond to campaign information and make voting decisions? We theorise that the association between exposure to campaign information and partisan voting is moderated by citizens' political predispositions — strength of partisanship, political sophistication, and election interest. To test our expectations, we used Australian Election Studies data from 2013, 2016, and 2019. We found that partisans who are exposed to campai…
Political Performance and Political Trust in Australia
While political trust has declined in Australia, reaching its lowest level ever recorded in 2019, there remain very few studies on what explains the variation in political trust and therefore what leads to such change in political trust is less certain in Australia. This paper examines the role of political performance, grounded in the valence model of electoral support, in shaping the political trust of citizens in Australia, using Australian El…
Does religion remain an influence on political participation in an increasingly secular society? An empirical investigation of the Australian case
A substantial body of literature has found that religion is related to an individual’s political participation. However, rates of religious affiliation and religious attendance have dropped considerably over the last three decades in some countries. This article explores this development by investigating the following question: does religion still remain an important factor in influencing the rate of political participation in societies that have…
A Social Sensing Model for Event Detection and User Influence Discovering in Social Media Data Streams
Online social networks (OSNs) have emerged as a major platform for sharing information through social relationships and are one of the major sources of big data. Social networks can even accommodate sharing of live streaming data among the connected users. However, social information on social networks is often locally exploited rather than capturing the changes in the entire network over time. Obtaining user's influence statistics is limited onl…
Study on the Level and Type Identification of Rural Development in Wuhan City’s New Urban Districts
A quantitative analysis of rural development is required to comprehend the spatial differentiation of a rural area and promote rural sustainable development under the pressure of urbanization and industrialization, especially areas with dramatic changes in rural socioeconomic development of China and other developing countries. Taking Wuhan as the case study, this paper developed an index system including rural settlement, land, industry and huma…
Explaining high rates of political participation among Chinese migrants to Australia
Studies of political participation regularly observe the underrepresentation of immigrant citizens and ethnic minorities. In contrast, evidence from Australia suggests that immigrant Australians are overrepresented in certain forms of participation, including donating money and working for a party or candidate. Drawing on major theories of ethnic political participation (including socialisation, recruitment and clientelism), this study uses 2013 …
Political distrust and right-wing populist party voting in Australia
While declining political trust has been given much attention, the behavioural implications of declining political trust have not yet been investigated extensively and the literature also shows the varying effects of political trust on support for extreme and populist parties across contexts. This article focuses on the decline of political trust in Australia from 1998 to 2016 and its effect on Australian voting behaviour. Multinomial logit estim…
Why context matters: The Role of Campaign Context in the Relationship Between Digital Media Use and Political Participation
Many questions remain about the effects of digital media use on citizens’ political engagement. This article argues that this is because such effects depend on the context in which digital media are used. Its findings are based on two cross-sectional sets from the 2010 and 2013 Australian Election Study and show that (1) political resources played different moderating roles in the association between digital media and offline participation, and (…
Does Religious Attendance Increase Immigrant Political Participation: A Case Study in Australia
The relationship between religion and immigrant political participation has not been rigorously investigated in the literature set in Australia. In this study, I test whether religious attendance influences electoral and non-electoral participation among immigrants. Drawing on data from the 2013 Australian Election Study, I demonstrate that the impact of religious attendance on political participation may be overstated. I find that religious atte…
Valence politics and immigrant voting in the 2013 Australian election
Using data from the 2013 Australian Election Study, this article investigates voting patterns among Australian voters from non-English-speaking backgrounds (NESB). It reveals that a valence politics model – comparing images of the two major parties and their leaders, partisan attachments, and judgements about party performance on economic issues – outperforms rival models. That is, it provides a powerful explanation of the decisions NESB voters m…

It’s the practice, not the pew: Religious attendance, denominational differences, and political participation in Taiwan
Does the robust Western finding that religious attendance predicts political participation hold in non-Christian democracies? We test this using pooled data from three waves of the Taiwan Election and Democratization Study. In Taiwan, the dominant religions—Buddhism, Taoism, and folk religion—lack the Protestant congregational structures that theoretically drive civic skill-building. We find that religious attendance robustly predicts political p…
Covid ‐19, Institutional Trust, and Citizens' Willingness to Trade Freedoms for Security in the Asia‐Pacific Region
When do citizens accept authoritarian measures in the name of public safety? Using Asian Barometer Survey Wave 6 data from eight Asia‐Pacific countries spanning democracies, electoral democracies, and hybrid regimes, this article examines acceptance of five pandemic‐era freedom restrictions: postponing elections, limiting speech and assembly, censoring media, tracking locations, and extending lockdowns. Personal COVID‐19 hardship weakly predicts …
