Abstract:
... Electoral systems struggle to combine proportionality (fair representation) and direct accountability (local representation). Economic optimization tools can be used to devise an improvement to conventional forms of proportional representation. Single or dual optimal assignment of constituencies can provide better local representation by maximizing the number of voters who are represented directly ...

Abstract:
... Pro-environmental behavior has social signaling value. Previous research suggests that enacting pro-environmental behaviors can signal certain personal characteristics, such as social status and trustworthiness, to others. Using an incentivized experiment, we show that people known to behave pro-environmentally are expected to be more cooperative, are preferred as cooperation partners, and elicit ...

Abstract:
... This essay explores the food discourse elaborated by Chinese intellectuals in the Song period (960–1279) and puts forward a hypothesis concerning its social function. Starting from the Bourdieusian idea that different consumption styles support different visions of the social order, I first define luxurious eating and describe its social diffusion in Song. I then document and analyze the food ideo ...

Abstract:
... Extensive research has demonstrated that urbanization strongly alters ecological processes, often perniciously. However, quantifying the magnitude of urban effects and determining how generalized they can be across systems depends on the ways in which urbanization is measured and modelled. We coupled a formal literature survey with a novel conceptual framework to document and synthesize the myriad ...

Abstract:
... Major improvements in air quality since 1990, observed through reductions in fine particulate matter (PM₂.₅), have been associated with reduced cardiovascular mortality rates (CMR). However, it is not well understood whether the health benefit attributed to PM₂.₅ reductions has been similar across strata of socioeconomic deprivation (SED). Using mixed effect regression models, we estimated the PM₂ ...
