Populism and the skill-content of globalization

Right-wing populism rises with low-skill globalization but falls with high-skill trends, showing that skill divides—not globalization alone—drive political shifts

Do students respond differently to feedback depending on the evaluator’s perceived gender? We find that they push back more when the randomly assigned name of the evaluator is female-sounding --implications for women’s authority and credibility in educational and professional contexts!

3️⃣Their voting aligns with their pro-redistribution views, and they tend to be more politically engaged.

4️⃣Their immigrant father's labor market experience is a stronger predictor of their political stance than perceived discrimination.

Riccardo Turati @turatiric.bsky.social · Feb 12

We analyze the political preferences of second-generation immigrants in Europe and find that:

1️⃣they tend to vote for more left wing parties compared to alike natives.

2️⃣This political stance isn't just due to urban residency, or country of origin background.
