Exploring the perspectives of urban allotment gardens in Czechia
Revisiting Group Differences in High‐Dimensional Choices
Gentzkow, Shapiro, and Taddy, Econometrica 87, no. 4, 2019 (henceforth GST), use a supervised text‐based regression model to assess changes in partisanship in US congressional speech over time. Their estimates imply that partisanship is far greater in recent years than in the past and that it increased sharply in the early 1990s. The paper at hand provides a replication in the wide sense of GST by complementing their analysis in three ways. First…
The relationship between food security, fruit and vegetable consumption, and health-related factors in the late Covid-19 pandemic in Czechia
In Czechia food insecurity and the limited FV intake relate to younger adults, socioeconomically disadvantaged individuals, and those with limited mobility.

In addition to the traditional reading of FSP as a passive, defensive and cr…
