However, there is less consensus on the impact of economic globalization on the distribution of those gains across society. There are several possible explanations for the conflicting findings in the existing literature, perhaps most notably endogeneity issues that plague the cross-country studies. To alleviate this, we utilize matching methods. Instead of using Gini coefficients, as much of the previous literature, we examine large increases in economic globalization’s impact on 5-year income growth in each quintile of the income distribution as well as top 1 and 5 percent. We find no evidence that income growth for the middle classes in OECD countries is hurt by economic globalization; if anything, some results indicate statistically positive effects. Most estimates, however, are positive but statistically and economically insignificant.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48183,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Comparative Economics","volume":"54 3","pages":"Pages 925-935"},"PeriodicalIF":4.1,"publicationDate":"2026-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148940379","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Doing so requires distilling dispersed qualitative information into numerical data. An annual index of print censorship is constructed by eliciting the historical knowledge encoded in a large language model (LLM) primed with evidence from secondary sources. Application of a machine-learning (ML) algorithm to a major corpus provides document-level measures of cultural innovativeness (quality) and volume (quantity). Pre-existing topic-model estimates apportion each document among distinct cultural themes—three affected by censorship and five unaffected. This yields a yearly theme-level panel for 1525–1700. Local projections estimate censorship's dynamic effects. Counterintuitively, censorship increases innovativeness in censorship-affected themes relative to non-affected themes. Censorship has a temporary chilling effect on the quantity of cultural production though output recovers within a decade. Results are robust to an instrumental-variable approach addressing the endogeneity of censorship. Findings are unchanged when the censorship index is constructed using three alternative LLMs. Leveraging LLMs and ML to measure hard-to-quantify phenomena, such as censorship and cultural production, illuminates the drivers of cultural evolution.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48183,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Comparative Economics","volume":"54 3","pages":"Pages 904-924"},"PeriodicalIF":4.1,"publicationDate":"2026-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148940377","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Employing a dynamic regression discontinuity framework, I establish that the financial benefits accruing to politicians are due to the first two periods of political tenure, but no substantial returns emerge during the more advanced career stages.

This study utilizes large-scale survey data from Chinese middle schools and exploits institutional random assignment of students to classes to explore how peer environments shape students’ mental well-being, cognitive ability, and academic performance. We measure peer exposure using leave-one-out classroom prevalence of adverse home environments, which proxies peers’ latent mental-health risk. Our results demonstrate that greater exposure to peers facing elevated mental-health risk significantly impedes adolescents’ human capital development, including worsened mental well-being, as well as reduced cognitive ability and academic performance. These adverse effects are particularly pronounced among disadvantaged students and those with worse baseline well-being or academic performance, implying that adverse peer environments can amplify existing inequalities in human capital accumulation. Mechanism analysis reveals that deteriorated friendship quality and class environment, reduced study efforts and motivation, and perceived worsening teacher-student relationships are key mechanisms, whereas teachers’ self-reported instructional practices show limited adjustment. Overall, the findings suggest that school-based psychosocial supports may yield social returns beyond treated students by improving classroom emotional climate and reducing peer spillovers.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48183,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Comparative Economics","volume":"54 3","pages":"Pages 689-708"},"PeriodicalIF":4.1,"publicationDate":"2026-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148961688","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
