Olen kyllä tavattoman ylpeä voidessani kertoa, että 75-vuotisjuhlaluentosarjassamme oli tänään vuorossa nobelisti Bengt Holmström 💪
Ravisteleva, inspiroiva puheenvuoro Euroopan tilasta ja tiestä eteenpäin. Muutenkin Bengt on aivan upea ja valloittava ihminen 👍

All of us—including myself—should publish fewer but better papers.
And we should spend more of our time on scrutinizing existing work, so we know which claims can be trusted. But that's hard work with little recognition.
Thanks @sophieehill.bsky.social for doing it. Impressive 🕵️‍♀️ work. Fun to read.

TL;DR: There are a LOT of errors/inconsistencies in the results reported in this paper (estimates outside CIs, sign errors, duplicates, asymmetric CIs). Even in the abstract itself!

This suggests manual editing of results tables.

Which is not good...

🧵
Summary
Unfortunately, this example is not an isolated issue.

Across 9 appendix tables with 256 regression coefficients, I find:

5 cases of estimates outside their reported confidence interval
46 duplicates (i.e. estimate/CI combinations with an identical match in the same table)
At least 20 cases of asymmetric confidence intervals, which cannot be explained as rounding errors
17 values rounded to 4 decimal places (all others to 3 decimal places), indicating manual editing of tables
Over 50% of all estimates and confidence intervals are multiples of 0.008
It is difficult to diagnose exactly what is going on without access to the underlying data and code.

However, two broad conclusions can be drawn:

There are many errors and inconsistencies in the results which appear to be the result of manual editing.
There are strange patterns in the results which, if genuine, should have been noted and explained by the authors.

For SD Parties this means that as long as their program is economically to the left, it does not matter much to working class voters what it includes culturally e.g. on immigration. In contrast, educated middle class voters will punish a program for being less culturally progressive.

Liberal democracy is facing global pressure. The RESLIDE project examines the state of liberal democracy in Finland and seeks to tackle backsliding.

The aim is to reinforce democratic values and bolster the institutions upholding them, says RESLIDE's Åsa von Schoultz.

Update: We submitted the comment to the Journal of Population Economics, and today we got a desk reject with this motivation. However, we do not know their conclusion about the main results and why the paper was not retracted. Clearly, they do not hold. 1/4

NYC’s congestion pricing is a policy miracle: Less traffic, less noise, faster transit, more business sales, more transit revenue. And it hasn’t produced the negative effects outside the cordon zone we were afraid of.

www.nytimes.com/interactive/...
Congestion pricing has improved life in New York City by: reducing cars on the street, speeding traffic (especially at peak hours), speeding buses and making them more reliable, expanding transit ridership, reducing car crashes, reducing noise complaints, and increasing the number of visitors. Fire response times fell in the NYC congestion zone, even as they increased in the rest of the city. Car crashes with injuries fell citywide, but they fell especially dramatically in the congestion pricing zone from 2024 to 2025 Local buses have sped up dramatically in the congestion pricing zone.

🗳️ Populism is a warning sign.

English local elections show it again: People feel abandoned & look scapegoats.

Drawing on own research & others, I argue 👇🏽

💡 To counter populism: We need to reinvest in citizens, e.g. housing, health & dignity.

To Counter Populism and Bolster Security, Europe Must Reinvest In Its Citizens
Facing security threats and rising populism, Europe needs state investment in citizens, not austerity that fuelled discontent.

Given the local election results in the UK, a short #thread - based on much of our own research - on the vicious cycle of radical right support that we have seen in many countries.

🧵 Why are young voters in Europe shifting to the populist right? Is TikTok playing a role?

A new study investigates Finnish voters and reveals an interesting paradox:

Young people have broadly liberal policy preferences—
Yet they are much more likely to vote for the populist right.
