  • Resident Unions

    Open AccessDavid P Sklar, David Sklar et al.ARTICLEAcademic Medicine2025

    During the COVID-19 pandemic, resident unions proliferated. While unionization resulted in increased compensation and benefits, the process of union negotiations may have created adversarial relationships between residents and their institutions’ leadership, whom residents depend on for supervision and the development of clinical expertise. Such adversarial relationships could affect the learning environment, which is critical to the delivery of …

  • Classical and team reasoning in the Centipede Game

    Open AccessDavid SklarARTICLETheoria2024

    This study analyses behaviour in non‐zero‐sum finite multi‐stage games, particularly the Centipede Game. The classical Nash Equilibrium fails to explain empirical behaviour and intuitive logic and has therefore been challenged.

  • A Troika of Fellows

    Open AccessHarun Đogo, David P Sklar et al.ARTICLEPS Political Science & Politics2012

    This year was an unusual one for the APSA Congressional Fellowship Program—three fellows were placed with the same congressional office. The fact that three fellows, each with very different backgrounds, were drawn to the Senate Finance Committee, says something about the unique role that the committee plays in congressional policymaking. As one of the “A”s of the four “Super-A” committees, along with Appropriations, Armed Services, and Foreign R…
