Whereas social scientists have devised various ways to measure representation gaps between the political elite and the masses across nations and time, few datasets can be used to measure this gap for particular social groups. Minding the gap between what parties social groups vote for and what parties actually attain seats in parliament can reveal the position of social groups in the political power structure. We help to fill this gap with a new publicly available dataset, Party Representation of Social Groups (PaReSoGo), consisting of 25 countries and 150 country-years, and a method for its construction. We used the European Social Survey 2002–2016 and ParlGov data for this time span to create a Dissimilarity Index. To demonstrate the utility and flexibility in the combination of cross-national surveys and administrative data, we chose social groups of gender, age, and education, as well as intersectional groups based on gender and age, and attitudinal groups. We conclude this research note with empirical illustrations of PaReSoGo’s use.

Abstract. This paper provides a method to predict magnetic storm events based on the time series of the Dst index over the period 1981-2002. This method is based on the multiple scaling of the measure representation of the Dst time series. This measure is modeled as a recurrent iterated function system, which leads to a method to predict storm patterns included in its attractor. Numerical results are provided to evaluate the performance of the method in outside-sample forecasts.

Abstract For qualitative probability spaces, monotone continuity and third-order atom-swarming are together sufficient for a unique countably additive probability measure representation that may have atoms (Mackenzie in Theor Econ 14:709–778, 2019). We provide a new proof by appealing to a theorem of Luce (Ann Math Stat 38:780–786, 1967), highlighting the usefulness of extensive measurement theory (Krantz et al. in Foundations of Measurement Volume I: Additive and Polynomial Representations. Academic Press, New York, 1971) for economists.

Abstract The Gabriel–Roiter measure is used to give an alternative proof of the finiteness of the representation dimension for Artin algebras, a result established by Iyama in 2002. The concept of Gabriel–Roiter measure can be extended to abelian length categories and every such category has multiple Gabriel–Roiter measures. Using this notion, we prove the following broader statement: given any object $X$ and any Gabriel–Roiter measure $\mu$ in an abelian length category $\mathcal{A}$, there exists an object $X^{\prime}$ that depends on $X$ and $\mu$, such that $\Gamma =\operatorname{End}_{\mathcal{A}}(X\oplus X^{\prime})$ has finite global dimension. Analogously to Iyama’s original results, our construction yields quasihereditary rings and fits into the theory of rejective chains.
