Han ble kraftig imøtegått av fagøkonomer, som blant annet fant feil i tall­grunnlaget hans. Uten at det tok bort kraften i den store fortellingen han skisserte om hvordan olje­formuen hadde gjort oss late og ute av stand til å foreta tøffe og nødvendige valg.

Brannfakkel: Hvis du synes "kraften i fortellingen" i en fagprosabok ikke svekkes av at fagfolk slakter forfatterens kildebruk, så bør du ikke settes til anmelde fagprosabøker i allmennkringkasteren.

Vi gir alt, alt for Norge.
Unntatt skatt. Den gir vi til Sveits.

Last day to submit a paper or panel for the EPSS conference in Belfast 2026. It's where you will meet the best and nicest people in European political science next year.

Svingdøra spinner som en karusell i norsk politikk for tida. Dette er ikke tegn på et sunt demokrati.

Enig i det! Samtidig er utdannelsens verdi knyttet til innholdet og innsatsen (fra både student og institusjon) og dermed de ferdighetene og kompetansen som kommer ut av det, ikke til papiret man får til slutt.

Det kan tenkes at det er en del studenter som heller bør ut i arbeidslivet enn å ta en eller annen vag bindestreks-"mastergrad". Men det er en litt annen diskusjon.

Det er ikke så mye poeng at folk får en mastergrad på papiret uten at de har lært de tingene en master skal gi. Det er allerede slik at mange av mastergradene rundt forbi ikke egentlig gir valuta for pengene. Problemet er heller at mange studenter studerer for lite enn at de jobber for lite.

Similar to what we find when comparing the old EGP class schema with the new Oesch schema. EGP does almost as good a job (and ocassionally better) at explaining political preferences, despite having fewer categories and being decades older.

Look at the distribution of z-values from medical research!

The rich are responsible for an outsized share of carbon emissions — the top 10% account for 48%.

And the gap is growing.

Since 1990, the richest 1% have increased their share of emissions by 13%, while the poorest 50% have seen theirs fall by 3%.

Super excited to finally see this project out in the wild! What a journey it's been! Looking forward to see how people will use this awesome data. See thread below for more details from @jacobnyrup.bsky.social.

Why we should rethink how we categorise party families in western Europe It is common to refer to party families such as “social democrats” and the “radical right” when discussing European politics. Drawing on a new book, Peter Egge Langsæther writes that while th...

Excited to share a glimpse of my book on party families via LSE European Politics and Policy! The book delves into the heart of what constitutes a party family, offer updated categorisations, contemporary descriptions, and an insight into their supporters. #polisky

Forskning er beredskap, så hvorfor trygger ikke regjeringen landet? KOMMENTAR: Nok en gang må alle andre fortelle politikerne at forskning er viktig. Hvorfor kan de ikke forstå det selv?

Hvis vi mener alvor med at vi trenger å trygge landet, er investering i kunnskap grunnplanken. Nå er planken for tynn til å bære ambisjonene.

Gratulerer igjen Magnus!

Takk for meg! Om underfinansieringen av universitetene og om det å holde fanen høyt for grunnforskning.

Mye klokt her, både om underfinansiering og ny pensjonsalder i akademia.

Fordi folka ved Valganalyse-prosjektet ved Kristiania spurte om jeg ville skrive dette som en del av det prosjektet. Det er ikke en forskningsartikkel, men noen umiddelbare tanker ført i pennen dagen etter valget.

Her er min tidlige analyse av stortingsvalget (del av Kristianias Valganalyse-prosjekt). Mye var avgjort lenge før valgkampen begynte denne gangen.

Slapp fengsel og skulle sone med fotlenke hjemme Den har aldri vært i bruk.

forskjellsbehandlingen Eirik Jensen nyter godt av i møte med fengselsvesenet er altså helt sinnsykt og dyp fornærmelse mot alle de folka som er alvorlig psykisk syke og ikke får slippe fri eller behandle fotlenke som om det er valgfritt

dette er pill råttent

Solar-Powered Cars and Trucks Are Almost Here New, power-sipping EVs due next year are efficient enough to gain 10 to 40 miles of daily charge from the sun alone.

The world is on fire and the future in question but, small ray of sunshine:

Solar-powered cars are coming next year. Yeah, you read that right.

Imagine getting 10-40 miles a day of range from just parking your car someplace sunny. It's coming.

The gendered long-term consequences of automation risk on electoral behaviour: Evidence from Norway BERNT BRATSBERG, HENNING FINSERAAS, PETER EGGE LANGSÆTHER, OLE ROGEBERG

📘 64.4

Our authors find automation risk lowers political turnout for men but not women, while strong populist right mobilization can offset the decline. Job impacts but not awareness, drive these effects.

Q: My condolences on the loss of your friend Charlie Kirk. How are you holding up?

TRUMP: I think very good. And by the way, right there you see all the trucks. They just started construction of the new ballroom for the White House, which is something they've been trying to get for about 150 years.

The right to speak our minds and to disagree with each other - to disturb, even - is at the very heart of what it means to be a free people. It is not to be denied. Not by violence, not by the abuse of governmental power, nor by acts of corporate cowardice. As a Guild, we stand united in opposition to anyone who uses their power and influence to silence the voices of writers, or anyone who speaks in dissent. If free speech applied only to ideas we like, we needn't have bothered to write it into the Constitution. What we have signed on to - painful as it may be at times - is the freeing agreement to disagree. Shame on those in government who forget this founding truth. As for our employers, our words have made you rich. Silencing us impoverishes the whole world. The WA stands with Jimmy Kimmel and his writers.

WGA Statement on ABC’s Decision to Pull Jimmy Kimmel Live!

The three most damning paras in the UN Report alleging that Israel is perpetrating genocide in Gaza: Siege starvation, attacks on health care, direct targeting of children as patterns that cannot be explained except if group destruction is one animating purpose.

The involvement of the Downing Street press operation in this is genuinely shameful. Someone present should use their question to grill the PM on this, on camera.
