Modeling Markedness with a Split-and-Merger Model of Sound Change
The concept of {}markedness{'} has been influential in phonology for almost a century. Theoretical phonology has found it useful to describe some segments as more {}marked{'} than others, referring to a cluster of language-internal and -external properties (Jakobson 1968, Haspelmath 2006). We argue, using a simple mathematical model based on Evolutionary Phonology (Blevins 2004), that markedness is an epiphenomenon of phonetically grounded sound change.

Bridging Retrospective and Prospective Merger Analyses: The Case of US Airline Mergers
We propose an ensemble approach to evaluate mergers that combines retrospective and prospective modeling for a more reliable analysis. We begin with a retrospective analysis based on an event study of three major U.S. ai…
More Clustering Quality Metrics for ABCDE
ABCDE is a technique for evaluating clusterings of very large populations of items. Given two clusterings, namely a Baseline clustering and an Experiment clustering, ABCDE can characterize their differences with impact a…
ClusteringConcentration-Based Inference for Evaluating Horizontal Mergers
Antitrust authorities routinely rely on concentration measures to evaluate the potential negative impacts of mergers on consumer welfare. Using a first-order approximation argument with logit and CES demand, I characteri…
Merger Analysis with Latent Price
Standard empirical tools for merger analysis assume price data, which are often unavailable. I characterize sufficient conditions for identifying the unilateral effects of mergers without price data using the first-order…
A Halo Merger Tree Generation and Evaluation Framework
Semi-analytic models are best suited to compare galaxy formation and evolution theories with observations. These models rely heavily on halo merger trees, and their realistic features (i.e., no drastic changes on halo ma…
