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.👇

#danslesmédias Analyse de la crise de confiance politique par @damienbol.bsky.social, enseignant-chercheur @cevipof.bsky.social @sciencespo.bsky.social sur le plateau du 19/20 Paris IDF @francetv.bsky.social www.france.tv/france-3/par... cc @scpo-research.bsky.social

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

📣 We are hiring! 👇 This PhD position is part of a research project that examines how growing income inequality can reshape the way democracy functions by influencing both political discourse and public opinion. More info here: www.academictransfer.com/en/jobs/3542...

Honored to have been invited to my former work place to participate in stimulating discussions about democratic innovations. The basis of my intervention was our OA paper on public opinion about deliberative democracy (with @jbpilet.bsky.social). ejpr.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

Filip is a gem. A rare combination of intellectual sharpness and personal sweetness. Political science is lucky to have him

Today, I defended my habilitation in Paris. This is one for these peculiar national survivances that exist in many countries, but that we hardly talk about in globalized academia. Going through these hoops is nonetheless an important part of any academic career for many of us

Another paper on similar topic with similar results: LLMs are good at positioning parties on major issues (here: left-right scale). Paper worth reading by great scholars ! doi.org/10.1017/pan....

I have been waiting for such a paper. Excellent work!

My book Democracy Under Strain is finally out, and I couldn’t be happier. 🥳 It’s been a long, challenging journey—but one that’s shaped me deeply as an academic. Here’s what it’s about 🧵 #DemocracyUnderStrain (1/11)

Our paper (w\ the wickedly talented @elizabethsim0n.bsky.social) is now out in @thejop.bsky.social Are more educated candidates systematically preferred? Yes. Is this systematic preference substantively large? Yes Is there an in-group bias among educated class? Also Yes. doi.org/10.1086/730745

Lots of talk about ‘left behind’ places & far-right’s rise. How do industrial decline, economic hardship, & resentment actually fuel far-right support? In new @apsrjournal.bsky.social paper exploring Xylella epidemic that devastated centuries-old 🫒 groves in 🇮🇹, we find out shorturl.at/xgeho

I enjoyed my interview with Sujata Gupta for @scinews.bsky.social about the need for chaos (the desire to burn it all down) and our current political comment. www.sciencenews.org/article/why-...

I get that booing the national anthem feels liberating for Canadians, but it also feels like a missed opportunity. They hate him. We do too. So why not turn that moment into something bold? Imagine an entire crowd chanting “Impeach him!” for the duration of the anthem. Now that would be a statement.

Les Français semblent prêts pour des gouvernements de coalition et de compromis. Moi aussi, mais c’est sans surprise. Mettez un Belge en France, il continuera à écrire sur les coalitions 😂 www.lemonde.fr/politique/ar...
