🎁 Just got pre-Christmas academic gift from @electoralstudies.bsky.social. In our research note, Chloé de Grauwe and I document income-based differences in #economic voting. In a nutshell: the rich punish governments (somewhat) more for perceived economic downturns.

In his dissertation, Nadjim studies (1) what Canadians’ views are on issues and policies affecting Black Canadians and (2) what influences voting behaviour of Black Canadians. 



The dissertation uses of a wealth of novel data and makes a *huge* contribution to the literature!
