Meritocracy or malfeasance: violations of meritocracy erode civic rule following by Reuben Kline, Fabio Galeotti, Raimondello Orsini

“…We argue that violations of meritocratic equity undermine the legitimacy of authority, leading to breaking rules, laws and civic norms—behaviors we refer to as justified malfeasance—in an effort to reduce perceived inequity. Using data from an incentivized laboratory experiment conducted in the United States and Italy and complemented by data from the World Values Survey, we investigate the effect of meritocratic violations on malfeasance. …”

We discuss the implications of this approach to causal inference from observational data, specifically in individual differences in language learning research, highlighting the need for explicit modeling of causal relationships and the risk of the atheoretical inclusion of variables, whether as controls, predictors, or covariates.…”

Modeling Campaign Optimization Strategies in Political Elections under Uncertainty by Christopher, Senfuka, Paul, Kizito Mubiru, Maureen, N. Ssempijja

“…In most political campaigns,the overall goal of every candidate is to maximize the number of voters during the election exercise.In such an effort,cost effective methods in choosing the optimal campaign strategy areparamount.In this paper, a mathematical model is proposed that optimize campaign strategies of a political candidate.Considering uncertainty in voter support and cost implications in holding political rallies,we formulate a finite state markov decision process model where states of a markov chain represent possible states of support among voters.Using daily equal intervals,thecandidates‟s decision of whether or not to campaign and hold a political rally at a given location were made using discrete time Markov chains and dynamic programming over a finite period planning horizon.Empirical data was collected from two locations on a daily basis during the campaign exercise.The data collected was analyzed and tested to establish the optimal campaign strategy and costs at the respective locations.Results from the study indicated the existence of an optimal state-dependent campaign strategy and costs at the respective political rally locations.…”
