Delighted to see this out! Are individuals equally willing to trade off different public goods for partisanship? Would they prefer in-group loyalty to election integrity and to national security in a real context of threat? Take a look!

Downward Mobility and Far-Right Party Support: Broad Evidence - Alan M. Jacobs, Mark A. Kayser, 2025 Much debate has centered on the relative effects of economic and cultural factors on support for far-right parties. Recent work, however, has proposed a synthes...

Intergenerational occupational mobility influences far-right support across both countries and time but only downward mobility matters in a correctly estimated model. Happy to see this work with @alanjacobs.bsky.social appearing in @cpsjournal.bsky.social. journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10....

Screenshot of the linked Quarto website, with input checkboxes to change different conditions for a regression model that predicts economic performance based on US political party, with a reported p-value

I’ve long used FiveThirtyEight’s interactive “Hack Your Way To Scientific Glory” to illustrate the idea of p-hacking when I teach statistics. But ABC/Disney killed the site earlier this month :(

So I made my own with #rstats and Observable and #QuartoPub ! stats.andrewheiss.com/hack-your-way/

What is interesting here is how little influence media coverage of the econ has when it does deviate from actual econ. This is likely a floor rather than a ceiling but nevertheless likely smaller than most would have expected. Unemployment effects, for example, are not mediated by news tone at all.

Pretty much exactly 80 years after the liberation of Auschwitz, the richest man in the world uses the Nazi salute at the inauguration of his close ally as US president. What should rationally not be surprising is still so deeply shocking and simply difficult to comprehend.
