Here's what caught my eye in research over the past week:
- Isaksson (open access) finds that, in Sweden, a reduction in alcohol licences in a precinct is associated with a 3.7% increase in support for the populist Sweden Democrats political party
- Bonney et al. find that AI use is having a much greater impact on worker tasks than on employment levels at the firm level, with about 27% of firms using AI reporting replacing worker tasks, but only about 5% experiencing employment change due to AI use
New from the Waikato working papers series:
- Zhang and Gibson use China's census data for 2000, 2010, and 2020 to test predictive accuracy of four popular gridded population data products, and find that gridded population data are accurate cross-sectional predictors at all three spatial levels (county/district, prefectural city, and province), with less than five percent of variation unexplained, but that predictive performance of gridded data for population changes has fallen substantially in the last decade
