In a new paper, we provide fresh evidence on the macroeconomic effects of public investment in 27 EU member states. We find that public investment has favorable effects on output and unemployment; doesn't crowd out private investment; and doesn't jeopardise debt sustainability.

I wrote a longer essay on how social status matters for far-right support. Many still wrongly associate the far right with the economically left behind. Taking social status seriously also cautions against the idea that deliverism will win back far-right voters.

Peer opinion matters—even in the face of elite cues.

🌐 International Organizations increasingly use social media.

📡 We used Twitter/X data to show when how their problem framings about #climate linkages spread. We show how technical and emotional framings affect how climate-development and climate-disaster linkages travel. #polisky #Academicsky

📍Why a non-profit organization? 📍

EPSA has played a vital role in building a strong network for European political scientists.

We all benefitted, but its structure, controlled by a for-profit company, distributed profits as dividends, rather to its members.

That’s changing. Now.👇
