Rulers of the Game: Central Bank Independence During the Interwar Years
TL;DR: The authors showed that central banks in general were more restrictive under left-wing governments than they were under more conservative regimes and often became more restrictive than required for external equilibration, which suggests that policies of independent central banks designed to enhance domestic price stability may force deflationary pressures onto other states in the system and potentially destabilize a fixed exchange-rate regime.

Did sunspot forces cause the Great Depression
TL;DR: The authors apply a dynamic general equilibrium model to the period of the U.S. Great Depression and find that the model, driven only by these measured sunspot shocks, can explain well the entire Depression era.

Strange Bedfellows: The Strategic Dynamics of Major Power Military Interventions
TL;DR: In this paper, a statistical model derived from the theoretical model was used to estimate the factors that affect the decisions of major powers to intervene in civil conflicts, and the model showed that major powers are more likely to join an intervention as their preferences with the initial intervener diverge.

Concentration, Polarity, and the Distribution of Power
TL;DR: The authors argued that using polarity to measure the distribution of power also requires analysts to assume (often implicitly) that inequalities among major powers are unimportant features of the global distribution, and nonpolar major powers should be ignored in structural analyses of international relations.
