2/6 🧵In @cpsjournal.bsky.social, @alicexu.bsky.social & Iversen ask if economic, rather than cultural factors, drive support for right-wing populists. Staggered DiD in the US & covid lockdowns. In states with less educated people (cannot work from home) lockdowns increase Trump support doi.org/pft7

3/6 🧵 In EJPR, @alexanderhorn.bsky.social @klueserthan.bsky.social & Martin Haselmayer study the priorities of left parties in 12 OECD countries. While they find no evidence for a crowding out of redistribution generally, they show that some Social Democrats abandoned economic equality.doi.org/pft9

4/6 🧵 In @thejop.bsky.social‬ @elizabethsim0n.bsky.social & @turnbulldugarte.com do a meta-analysis of role of candidate education in conjoint experiments. More educated candidates preferred by all, but more so by more educated respondents, suggesting a possible in-group bias https://doi.org/pft8

5/6 🧵 In @cpsjournal.bsky.social Heilbrun studies tax preferences in the Latinobarometro. High perceived inequality associated with a preference towards a narrower tax base. Suggests a reason why revenue from direct taxes in LA is low https://doi.org/pfvd

6/6 🧵In @thejop.bsky.social @bigcitypolitics.bsky.social & Armstrong study elite conflict using councilors' roll-call votes. Original dataset over many terms in Chicago & Toronto. Against a pluralist expectation, councilors’ conflict is low-dimensional but durable across terms doi.org/pfvb

2/6 🧵In @jeppjournal.bsky.social, @annerasmussen.bsky.social & @simonotjes.bsky.social ask: are politicians more responsive to interest groups or public opinion? Vignette experiments in 🇩🇰 & 🇳🇱 with politicians. Effect of public opinion positive, stronger, and more general doi.org/n6sf

3/6 🧵 In @electoralstudies.bsky.social, Zhirnov, @drphilphil.bsky.social, and co-authors study congruence b/w populist parties & their voters. VAA data from 🇩🇪🇳🇱🇮🇹🇸🇪. Show populist parties are best choice for their voters, but congruence is not higher compared to other parties. doi.org/n6sd

4/6 🧵 In @bjpols.bsky.social, Geys & Sørensen compare current & former lottery winners in the whole 🇳🇴 to estimate the effect of income on turnout. They find a small effect when gains are close to election date https://doi.org/n6sh

5/6 🧵 In @psrm.bsky.social, Dahlgaard, @fkjoeller.bsky.social and Kristensen research whether political careers are economically attractive. Using administrative data they find that based on total income all 🇩🇰 MPs experience short-term economic gains during their first term. https://doi.org/n6sg

6/6 🧵IN EJPR, @slstutzmann.bsky.social studies electoral effects of coal phase-outs in 🇩🇪 with admin data & DID design. Punishment of issue owners (left parties) and abstention increase. Not caused by real economic decline but perceived deprivation & loss of status. https://doi.org/n6sj
