Intergenerational occupational mobility influences far-right support across both countries and time but only downward mobility matters in a correctly estimated model. Happy to see this work with @alanjacobs.bsky.social appearing in @cpsjournal.bsky.social. journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10....

Gratifying to see the @civica.bsky.social Political Behavior and Institutions meetings doing so well! Thanks to @zsolt.bsky.social and CEU for their great job hosting our third annual meeting and to @chriswratil.bsky.social for his keynote! www.ceu.edu/news/2025-06...

I think Emily is going to Rome. You will miss her!

I think research needs more Emily! ;)

The Romanian School of Government (SNSPA) has just nominated Trump for the Nobel Peace Prize! How does @civica.bsky.social, and its members, feel about this (SNSPA is a member of CIVICA, which includes LSE, @sciencespo.bsky.social, Bocconi, @eui-eu.bsky.social etc)?

I’ve long used FiveThirtyEight’s interactive “Hack Your Way To Scientific Glory” to illustrate the idea of p-hacking when I teach statistics. But ABC/Disney killed the site earlier this month :(

So I made my own with #rstats and Observable and #QuartoPub ! stats.andrewheiss.com/hack-your-way/

Congrats, Kasia!

Super cool paper!

Come work with us in Berlin!

Thanks for your interest. Sorry that I didn't realize that it was gated. Here's the link to the version on Michael Peress' website: www.michaelperess.com/research/Eco...

What is interesting here is how little influence media coverage of the econ has when it does deviate from actual econ. This is likely a floor rather than a ceiling but nevertheless likely smaller than most would have expected. Unemployment effects, for example, are not mediated by news tone at all.

Delighted to see this coming out in @thejop.bsky.social. Some basic science that for data reasons was never done before. www.journals.uchicago.edu/doi/abs/10.1...

Pretty much exactly 80 years after the liberation of Auschwitz, the richest man in the world uses the Nazi salute at the inauguration of his close ally as US president. What should rationally not be surprising is still so deeply shocking and simply difficult to comprehend.
