In a simple multivariate normal prediction setting, derivation of a predictive distribution can flow from formal Bayes arguments as well as pivoting arguments. We look at two special cases and show that the classical invariant predictive distribution is based on a pivot whose sampling distribution depends on the parameter – that is, the pivot is not an ancillary statistic. In contrast, a predictive distribution derived by a structural argument is based on a pivot with a parameter free distribution (an ancillary statistic). The classical procedure is formal Bayes for the Jeffreys prior. Our results show that this procedure does not have a structural or fiducial interpretation.

Following Brexit, European Union citizens now find their rights to live and work in the UK have changed and they had to make an application under the European Union Settlement Scheme, established under the terms of the Withdrawal Agreement, by 30 June 2021 to enable them to continue to live in the UK lawfully. This article examines the experience and perceptions of those navigating the European Union Settlement Scheme and how they feel about life in the UK post-Brexit. It raises questions about identity and belonging. We also examine the other routes European Union nationals, and their family members, are choosing to use to secure their status in the UK. Our research highlights how the impacts of Brexit and European Union Settlement Scheme are unevenly felt and experienced by different European Union national groups. The article concludes that it is likely that we will only be able to measure the true extent of the 'success' of the European Union Settlement Scheme after the application gateway has closed on 30 June 2021, by learning what happens to those who fall between the gap, especially those more vulnerable. ; Economic and Social Research Council (grant number ES/T000716/1 ESRC)

This article identifies notable trends in environmental policy surrounding oil and gas development in Canada's leading producing provinces (Alberta, British Columbia, Newfoundland and Labrador, and Saskatchewan) in the period from 2009 to 2014: environmental policy streamlining in particular via the consolidation of environmental policymaking in development-oriented agencies, the continuation and raising of barriers to public involvement in decisions on oil and gas activity, and the avoidance of cumulative impact assessment. These trends signal policy convergence facilitating oil and gas development during a period of accelerating extraction and weakening federal environmental policy. More broadly, this confirms a pattern of conventional politics in energy-dependent subnational governments.
