In the paper ”If they don’t do the job, we’ll do it! Regional Economic Deprivation and Public Support for Democratic Innovations in Europe”, we study how regional economic deprivation affects support for democratic innovations and how this relates to individual level explanations of public support

Truly honored and pleasantly surprised that our paper was awarded Best Paper by the Democratic Innovations Standing Group at last @ecpr.bsky.social conference. Huge thanks to my excellent co-authors Emilien Paulis and David Talukder. ecpr.eu/news/news/de...
