A New Theory of Cultural Archetypes
2023
Advances a novel archetypal perspective that captures cultural unity, diversity, and dynamics within one framework. Identifies cultural trends over four decades, showing these to be more complex and varied than previously thought. Provides data on the archetypal compositions of culture for 117 countries, that can be used by other researchers.
CRAN - Package archetypalCulture as a Configuration of Values: An Archetypal Perspective
2018
The aim of this chapter is to: (1) model culture as a configuration of multiple values, (2) identify different culture archetypes across the globe, and (3) empirically demonstrate heterogeneity in culture archetypes within and across 52 countries. We use Schwartz values from the World Values Survey (WVS) and the archetypal analysis (AA) method to identify diverse culture archetypes within and across countries.
Emerald, Research in Experimental Economics, 2019 Outstanding Author ContributionOn the Efficient Identification of an Inflection Point
2016
Our task is to find time efficient and statistically consistent estimators for revealing the true inflection point of a planar curve when we have only a probably noisy set of points for it, thus we are introducing extremum surface (ESE) and distance estimator (EDE) methods.
