Do policy preferences of voters and non-voters differ in European democracies?

My new article in @ejprjournal.bsky.social finds: Yes, sometimes, but this is not the norm.

New publication alert🔓🚨
Toxic speech is widespread on social media – but do users mirror the toxic behavior of their ingroup or react defensively to outgroup toxicity?
Our new paper in JCMC examines how ingroup and outgroup behavior shape the spread of toxicity on social media.

Sexism and the Gender Gap in Support for the Radical Right Using survey data from Spain we show that the gender gap in the probability of voting for the radical-right party Vox is mainly due to men having higher levels of modern sexism than women. We find ...

We have a new paper out with @gricoc.bsky.social in @jwpp.bsky.social (this time I swear I am going to post the right link): www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

The gender gap in radical right support isn’t about women versus men, it’s about sexism. Do not miss this great piece of @evaanduiza.bsky.social @gricoc.bsky.social. The insights go well beyond Spain.

From the research group @dec-gr.bsky.social, we are glad to share our new Scientific Data article presenting the release of the first 12 waves of the Spanish Political Attitudes Panel (POLAT).

Is unequal representation the consequence of different voting behavior across income groups? Extant literature documents the unequal representation of the interests of low- and high-income groups in democracies. One potential explanation for t…

Our study thus speaks against the "electoral explanation" of unequal opinion-policy congruence. @annakurella.bsky.social @nathaliegiger.bsky.social and @janrosset.bsky.social found evidence pointing in a similar direction in an interesting study last year: www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Happy to see our study out! Our main takeaway is that while poor voters vote less often, are less ideologically aligned with their preferred party, and see their preferred party less often in government - voting still does not seem to explain unequal representation.

🚨 New paper in @thejop.bsky.social

Why do politicians often misperceive what citizens' policy positions are?

@simonotjes.bsky.social and I study ~10,000 estimates of public opinion by politicians in Denmark & the Netherlands to uncover the sources of these (mis)perceptions

Thread 🧵1/10

Just out at JOP (www.journals.uchicago.edu/doi/epdf/10....) : Why do so few working-class people hold office? It's not lack of interest. Noam Lupu and I ran 10 surveys in 8 countries and found no evidence of a social class gap in how often qualified people consider running.

Ideological bias in policy implementation: public opinion and policy outcomes in 43 democracies Previous research has documented a conservative bias in politicians’ perceptions of public opinion. Do similar biases also exist in policy implementation, relative to public opinion? In this articl...

The link is to a different article! :-) Ours is: www.cambridge.org/core/journal...

🚨 New in Journal of Politics! 🚨
Do radical right parties need to cut ties with old dictatorships to succeed?
👉 @sergipardos.bsky.social and my study of Spain’s VOX says: ❌ Not necessarily.

🚨 New publication alert! 🚨
Why do some people keep voting throughout their lives while others drop out? And how do authoritarian elections - even uncompetitive ones- shape citizens’ habits?
Ksenia Northmore-Ball and I tackle these questions in my new paper, now out in @electoralstudies.bsky.social.

Protest and the rise of left-nationalist challengers: evidence from Germany
📔 Social Movement Studies
🔗 doi.org/10.1080/1474...
In 2022, Germany faced a cost-of-living crisis.
Many expected a “Hot Autumn” of mass protest—but it never happened. Why?

I’m very excited to share that my paper “Cleavage theory meets civil society: A framework and research agenda” with @eborbath.bsky.social & Swen Hutter has now been published online in ‪@wepsocial.bsky.social‬ (w/ open access funding thanks to @wzb.bsky.social‬!)

www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

🔔 Very happy to see our paper published open access on cleavage theory and civil society! 📖

We have tried to sketch a new research agenda, that I think has a lot of potential.

I very much enjoyed working on this!

Check Alex's thread below 👇 & read the paper: www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

Highly recommend giving it a read! What a fun and insightful writing journey. Also, I’m new here on Bluesky, excited to connect!
