1/ Does growing up poor always lead to political apathy?

Very happy to share my first paper published (open access) in @electoralstudies.bsky.social, where I show that parents' influence mitigates the poverty gap in participation, while economic mobility does not.

Why do rustbelts vote radical right? Studying the German Ruhr area, @nilsblossey.bsky.social, @lstoetze.bsky.social and I show: it’s not just about deindustrialization, but also about the original industrialization. Where coal is buried deeper and mining started later, the AfD is stronger today 1/12

Thank you! :)

Yes, the effect operates through material benefits and social recognition.

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
