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! :)

Congratulations!

Can government policies moderate political backlash to structural change?

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

Asymmetric backlash against structural economic change: The electoral consequences of the coal phase‐out in Germany Past research has often attributed electoral backlash to structural economic change to a lack of compensation and interest group representation for affected groups. Is that backlash then mitigated in....

I find strong support for an association of coal closures with backlash: concretely, via a negative effect on vote shares for the SPD and a positive effect on abstention rates in affected municipalities. Moreover, I provide indicative evidence for the underlying mechanisms. 7/n

I estimate the effect of the first coal closure per municipality on voting behaviour using staggered difference-in-differences models. 6/n
