🚨 New paper in @thejop.bsky.social

Why do politicians often misperceive what citizens' policy positions are?

@simonotjes.bsky.social and I study ~10,000 estimates of public opinion by politicians in Denmark & the Netherlands to uncover the sources of these (mis)perceptions

🚨 new paper out w/ @simonchauchard.bsky.social in BJPS @bjpols.bsky.social on the link between misinformation and religiosity- does religious belief cause people to endorse more misinformation? And if so, what can we do about it?

New WP thread! 🤓 Vietnam's solar panel exports boomed between 2018 and 2022. With my PhD student Meng Yu Ngov, Trang Thu Tran, and Gaurav Nayyar we look at how this industry success can be attributed to attracting FDI and importing parts and components, as well to Chinese subsidy spillovers.👇

Thanks for the SO. We tried estimate the effect of having a 4th candidate (as a separate RDD), but there were too few treated districts. That said, as France is becoming increasingly fragmented, there will be more and more data points

A recent paper by @damienbol.bsky.social and @riaivandic.bsky.social provides some inspiration: in France's two-round system, the top two parties go through to the second round, but so do any others that pass a given threshold (currently receiving votes from 12.5% of registered voters)

Et ça s’insère dans le débat général sur : est-ce que chaque recherche (entendu chaque papier) doit proposer une nouvelle théorie et la tester? C’est intenable compte tenu des attentes en termes de publications et pas souhaitable car les theories doivent être testées et restées pour être validées

Il y aurait probablement moins de vote utile avec le jugement majoritaire ou le vote par approbation. Mais il faudrait les voir à l’œuvre dans le temps.

Dans les pays utilisant du ranked-choice par exemple, les partis finissent souvent par donner des consignes de vote stratégique à leur supporters.

A noter qu'aucun mode de scrutin n'est immunisé face au vote stratégique, même la proportionnelle. Voir par exemple ici : journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/...

Le vote stratégique existe donc bel et bien en 🇫🇷, même au 1er tour. Cela soulève la question démocratique des inégalités de représentation.

Le cas des élections législatives de 2024

Sans surprise, les électeurs stratégiques restent proche de leur parti préféré (exemple : Reconquête ➡️ RN)

Fait marquant : au 1er tour, le vote stratégique est surtout pratiqué par les électeurs plus âgés et politisés. Cela contribue donc à un déficit de représentation pour les autres.

Avec les enquêtes CEVIPOF, nous quantifions le vote stratégique aux législatives 2024.

👉 Il y en a plus au 2nd tour, quand le choix est restreint.
👉 Mais même au 1er tour, 7-8% ont voté utile plutôt que pour leur parti préféré.

C’est comparable aux scrutins à un tour britanniques ou canadiens.

On entend souvent que le scrutin à deux tours rend le vote stratégique anodin en 🇫🇷 : on vote avec son cœur au 1er tour, avec sa tête au 2nd. Mais cela suppose seulement 2 grands blocs. Ce n’est plus le cas. Résultat : même au 1er tour, voter utile est crucial (cf. élimination de Jospin en 2002).

Très heureux de voir notre article publié dans la Revue Française de Science Politique, en collaboration avec @jfdaoust.bsky.social, toujours aussi brillant ✨

Après avoir beaucoup travaillé sur le vote utile, aussi appelé vote stratégique, nous testons nos méthodes sur le cas français.
