Habermas weist auf ein wichtiges Buch von @arminschaefer.bsky.social und Michael Zürn hin: Die demokratische Regression @suhrkamp.de
Es zeigt, wie das demokratische (Gerechtigkeits)Versprechen durch die von der Elefantenkurve beschriebene Einkommensentwicklung an Glaubwürdigkeit verloren hat. 5/5

In that case you should eat cake instead.

Thank you!

Thank you!

I am not a general skeptic, I use survey all the time. But it is a leap of faith that weights will remedy the underlying cause. It seems plausible to me, for example, that those who do not trust science are more hesitant to participate in a survey.

My sense is that countries that started with low rates (e.g. Switzerland) first saw an increase but then a drop, too. The average response rate of round 11 is 41 per cent. I am mostly concerned about the unequal response rates based on attitudes, though.

Perhaps even more dramatic...

The patterns are similar across countries. If willingness to participate is linked to the attitudes we research, such as populist attitudes, scepticism towards science or (lack of) political interest, socio-demographic survey weights are not the answer. Do we know what causes this trend?
