My new article in @ejprjournal.bsky.social finds: Yes, sometimes, but this is not the norm.

Incredibly happy to share that I received funding through the FWO Odysseus program for the SOCIOVOTE project! Over the next five years, I’ll be examining how social groups think politically, and study the processes through which groups and group identities become politicized.

Give researchers an observational dataset with no exo variation: you get more than one answer to a causal research question... and the answer is correlated with ideological priors 👇. Do results extend to an observational data with a plausibly exo variation (aka natural experiment)? Thoughts?
