A fragmented environmental state? Analysing spatial compliance patterns for the case of transparency legislation in China

Do Chinese cities compete for investments with lax environmental law enforcement? This article by Stefan Brehm and Jesper Svensson offers a tentative answer by analysing political and economic factors shaping spatial patterns of compliance with environmental transparency legislation. Do Chinese cities compete for investments with lax environmental law enforcement? The here presented study suggests

Book chapter on Cambodian civil society

Dr Astrid Norén-Nilsson has written a country review on Cambodia in a new book titled "Routledge Handbook of Civil Society in Asia". The chapter examines competing understandings of Cambodian civil society through the prisms of civil society and the state; the role of the international donor community; and the re-emergence of historical civil society. In conclusion, it is argued that shifting atte

Article on Chinese social credit in The Conversation

Stefan Brehm and Nicholas Loubere have co-authored an article on the Chinese social credit system for The Conversation. The Chinese government’s ongoing attempts to create a social credit system aimed at rating the trustworthiness of people and companies is often depicted as something uniquely Chinese. In this article Stefan Brehm and Nicholas Loubere argue that Chinese social credit is a phenomen

Perspectives on pain registries

Registries are one way to provide longitudinal, observational data, giving rise to a range of possibilities in terms of audit and research. They allow examining approaches to management, which would not be feasible by a trial or where there was no trial data (currently or likely ever) available. In this Perspective, we will discuss aspects of their design, analysis, and use in the field of pain. R

“Translating” All-Cause Mortality Rate Ratios or Hazard Ratios to Age-, Longevity-, and Probability-Based Measures

Epidemiologists commonly use an adjusted hazard ratio or incidence density ratio, or a standardized mortality ratio, to measure a difference in all-cause mortality rates. They seldom translate it into an age-, time-, or probability-based measure that would be easier to communicate and to relate to. Several articles have shown how to translate from a standardized mortality ratio or hazard ratio to

TWISTER PLOTS FOR TIME-TO-EVENT STUDIES

Results of randomized trials and observational studies can be difficult to communicate. Results are often presented as risk or survival functions stratified by the treatment or exposure (1, 2). However, a contrast between the stratified risk functions is often of primary interest. Here we propose a “twister” plot to visualize contrasts in risk over the duration of a study. The twister plot is a −9

Constructed Measures and Causal Inference: Towards a New Model of Measurement for Psychosocial Constructs

Psychosocial constructs can only be assessed indirectly, and measures are typically formed by a combination of indicators that are thought to relate to the construct. Reflective and formative measurement models offer different conceptualizations of the relation between the indicators and what is sometimes conceived of as a univariate latent variable supposed to correspond in some way to the constr

Mendelian Randomization With Repeated Measures of a Time-varying Exposure

Mendelian randomization (MR) is often used to estimate effects of time-varying exposures on health outcomes using observational data. However, MR studies typically use a single measurement of exposure and apply conventional instrumental variable (IV) methods designed to handle time-fixed exposures. As such, MR effect estimates for time-varying exposures are often biased, and interpretations are un

A comparison of statistical methods to predict the residual lifetime risk

Lifetime risk measures the cumulative risk for developing a disease over one’s lifespan. Modeling the lifetime risk must account for left truncation, the competing risk of death, and inference at a fixed age. In addition, statistical methods to predict the lifetime risk should account for covariate-outcome associations that change with age. In this paper, we review and compare statistical methods
