New publication (in French): shorturl.at/CW7R3 Analyzing 1,423 elite marriages in Geneva between 1890 and 1957, I show the persistence of endogamy among patrician elites, particularly those with significant economic power.
My colleagues and I have been sharing blogs and news about a survey we did on how researchers use generative AI - that study is now published and openly available here: doi.org/10.1016/j.te...

The very first paper from our large comparative project - the World Elite Database - is out. Lots of coordination and important discussion on comparing elites allow us to - for the first time really - compare elites across very different national contexts. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...
