Coalition formation as a popularity contest?
In a new study, @wmjunk.bsky.social and I examine which groups are preferred partners in agenda setting. We find NGOs are favoured, and trusted allies trump capable newcomers—shaping how networks form and why NGOs hold an edge.

Det er simpelthen noget helt igennem suverænt ved at KOLDSKÅL er blandt danskernes fem foretrukne VEGETAR-retter
Vi spiser lige så lidt vegetarisk som for ti år siden: Her er de vegetarretter, vi alligevel spiser mest
Danskernes foretrukne vegetariske retter viser sig at være mere beige end grønne.

New OECD data, just out today:
For the third year running, the average global corporate tax rate *increased* - and more countries now *raise* than lower their corporate taxes.
This follows the adoption of the global minimum tax and essentially reverses four decades of racing to the bottom.

Tax multilateralism is alive and well, despite reports to the contrary. US pressure hasn't (yet) undermined the integrity of the global minimum tax, and negotiations are proceeding at the OECD.

Lots of Danish Social Democrats action on the timeline today and, sure, fine, but more people should read this:
This is good and more people need to recognize how important the particularities of the Danish parliamentary system are to explaining the Danish Social Democrats' "success" on immigration when comparing it to other national political contexts.
'drawing lessons should be done with caution and involves pitfalls for British politicians'. We hear a lot about how the Social Democrats succeeded on immigration in Denmark?
But is it a model we should emulate? @kristinabsimonsen.bsky.social explains. ukandeu.ac.uk/denmarks-mig...

How do national carbon pricing policies compare?
The OECD's work on mapping net effective carbon rates (i.e. including fossil fuel subsidies and all other relevant schemes) was recently updated for 2023. Still very uneven progress, even among "climate-progressive" states.
