Happy to see our findings on the 'migration bias' — the fact that migrants face stronger social norms than society at large — on Sociale Vraagstukken, with some thoughts on the Dutch integrationist discourse. @lutzphilipp.bsky.social

🚨 New paper in @thejop.bsky.social

Why do politicians often misperceive what citizens' policy positions are?

@simonotjes.bsky.social and I study ~10,000 estimates of public opinion by politicians in Denmark & the Netherlands to uncover the sources of these (mis)perceptions

For the Guardian, @turnbulldugarte.com and I discuss our research that clearly shows one thing: Labour's anti-immigration strategy will only strengthen Reform and weaken its own electoral prospects. It won't win voters back but ultimately normalizes the far right

www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Our research makes it clear: by capitulating to the right, Labour is driving voters to Reform UK | Tarik Abou-Chadi and Stuart Turnbull-Dugarte

Mimicking Farage on immigration is senseless. Labour voters feel betrayed; anti-immigration voters see through the ruse, say academics Tarik Abou-Chadi and Stuart Turnbull-Dugarte

Nicola Rennie @nrennie.bsky.social · Sep 9

There was lots of data to play with for #TidyTuesday this week where we're looking at the power of different passports! ✈️

I decided to try out the idea of using small multiples and highlighting to untangle a spaghetti chart with lots of lines 📊

#RStats #DataViz #ggplot2

Chart showing how rankings of passports have changed over time, split by region with top one in each highlighted. European are ranked high, and UAE has had a dramatic rise.

Is there a pro-refugee policy skeptics can support?

The idea of private sponsorship seems to work exactly because it taps into people's widespread conservative intuitions about responsibility and local control, while channeling their faith networks and addressing cost concerns.

How do states balance open markets with pressure to control migration? Studying Switzerland, S. Lavenex, P. Hoffmeyer-Zlotnik, M. Alvarado, and P. Lutz show how business migration as a high-skilled market model offers an escape from the liberal paradox.

A milestone today: my first PhD publication, co-authored with Fabio Wasserfallen, is out in the @spsr.bsky.social. The article compares Swiss Euroscepticism—just as the title promises. The article is open access: doi.org/10.1111/spsr...

Bar chart comparing public perceptions of the EU across European countries. Switzerland stands out with one of the highest shares of negative views (very negative or fairly negative) and the lowest positive evaluations, similar only to the UK and Czech Republic. Most other countries, including Norway and Iceland, show more positive or neutral attitudes.

The twin article also just dropped: After having introduced 'business migration', we demonstrate how this admission channels allows Switzerland to navigate the 'liberal paradox' of competing pressures for economic openness and political closure. academic.oup.com/migration/ar...
