AI Users Earn Up to 41.8% More Than Non-Users
Research conducted by economists at HSE University has revealed a significant correlation between the regular use of GenAI in the workplace and higher pay among Russian employees. The study found that individuals who frequently use GenAI in their professional activities earn notably more than those who reject these new tools or resort to them occasionally. The salary premium for highly qualified specialists reaches 41.8%. The article was published in the Voprosy Ekonomiki journal.

Personal Interest in Doctoral Thesis Topic Most Important for Confidence in Successful Defence
A researcher at HSE University analysed data on 1,539 doctoral students from 161 Russian universities to identify which features of a thesis topic are associated with academic success and engagement. The most important factor was found to be personal interest in the research topic, which was associated with almost all key aspects of doctoral programme experience—from engaging with the academic supervisor to research activity and confidence about successfully defending the thesis. The findings have been published in Higher Education.

Estimating Dynamics of National Power: a Bayesian Principal Components Approach

P. 1–4.
Sedashov E., Vitaly Kabernik, Stukal D.

We offer a novel approach to the measurement of national power. The approach consists of two related parts: raw data processing and a measurement model. Suggested approach improves existing practices by allowing dynamic changes in the weights of national power components. It also returns credible intervals around point estimates, paving the way for statistical comparisons of national power values across time and space.

It is a common practice among social scientists to use “factor analysis” and “principal components analysis” interchangeably, even though PCA is not a factor extraction method, but a dimension reduction technique. Most of the recent studies with factor analysis rely solely on PCA or fail to specify which factor extraction method was used. Supposedly, it ...

Constraining governments: New indices of vertical, horizontal, and diagonal accountability
Lührmann A., Marquardt K., Mechkova V., American Political Science Review 2020 Vol. 114 No. 3 P. 811–820
Accountability—constraints on a government’s use of political power—is one of the cornerstones of good governance. However, conceptual stretching and a lack of reliable measures have limited cross-national research on this concept. To address this research gap, we use V-Dem data and innovative Bayesian methods to develop new indices of accountability and its subtypes: the extent ...
