Supplementary files for article Individualism and climate change policies: international evidence Purpose This paper aims to examine the extent to which the cultural dimension of individualism/collectivism matters for international differences in climate change policy performance. This study postulates that individualistic societies, relative to their collectivistic counterparts, are more likely to address global climate change. Design/methodology/approach The main hypothesis is tested using data for a world sample of up to 92 countries. To achieve causal inference, this study isolates exogenous sources of variation in individualistic cultures, based on blood distance to the UK and historical pathogen prevalence. Findings The core results suggest that individualistic countries are characterized by greater climate change policy performance. This study also finds evidence that individualism affects climate change policy adoption through enhancing governance and female political representation. Subnational analyses based on data from the World Values Survey indicate that survey participants with an orientation toward individualism tend to self-report positive attitudes to pro-environmental policies. Research limitations/implications The main findings help improve the understanding of the deep origins of climate change policy performance, which is relevant for formulating policies that help mitigate the consequences of changing climate conditions. Originality/value To the best of the author’s knowledge, this paper is the first study to link cultural traits of individualism and climate change policy performance across countries.

This is the first release of a database which aims to create a full list of administrative employees of the Office of Ordnance in the French Revolutionary and Napoleonic Wars. The database currently provides information such as: name, establishment where the employee was based, salary level, length of service, approximate year of birth. The source material is all available in the UK National Archives.As a first release this database has not yet been cleaned and so some of the information will likely be incorrect and/or inaccurate.The database will be updated over the course of 2019 to include source material covering additional years. The focus at this time is on the French Revolutionary and Napoleonic Wars period but this may be expanded over time (subject to resource and the source material).The attached readme file explains the column headings of each table and how the tables are related to each other.At this stage the database has focussed on administrative employees e.g. Storekeepers, Clerks etc. and has limited information on artificers, armourers, labourers etc.The database was created in Microsoft Access as part of the Office 365 suite.Please contact Gareth Cole if you have any questions about the database.

Supplementary information for article Redistribution and beliefs about the source of income inequality Previous literature demonstrates that beliefs about the determinants of income inequality play a major role in individual support for income redistribution. This study investigates how people form beliefs regarding the extent to which work versus luck determines income inequality. Specifically, I examine whether people form self-serving beliefs to justify supporting personally advantageous redistributive policies. I use a laboratory experiment where I directly measure beliefs and manipulate the incentives to engage in self-deception. I first replicate earlier results demonstrating that (1) people attribute income inequality to work when they receive a high income and to luck when they receive a low income and (2) their beliefs about the source of income inequality influence their preferences over redistributive policies. However, I do not find that people’s beliefs about the causes of income inequality are further influenced by self-serving motivations based on a desire to justify favorable redistributive policies. I conclude that, in my experiment, self-serving beliefs about the causes of income inequality are driven primarily by overconfidence and self-image concerns and not to justify favorable redistributive policies.

This is an audio recording of one of the interviews we conducted for our project "Women's Media and Memory". In this project, we aim to record and archive women's memories in Turkey by conducting oral history interviews. In the light of this research, we want to look at feminist understanding of Turkey's history through women's narratives.
