Fantastic post by @vincentab.bsky.social on the power-money trade-off in sample sizes (with accompanying R code): "...'You need a bigger sample than you can afford.' ... it is crucial to tackle this problem head-on, and integrate cost explicitly in sample size calculations and power analyses."

Lots of discussion here and elsewhere about the weight that (would-be) autocrats place on loyalty vs. competence. So, yeah, but there’s so much more to say. @szakonyi.bsky.social has a nice discussion in this Oxford Handbook chapter on authoritarian bureaucracy, just coming online.
