Utrolig spennende og å få 12 millioner kroner til å forske på partienes rolle i å etablere den norske velferdsstaten ved hjelp av omfattende historisk datamatrialet og naturlig eksperimenter. Les mer her: www.usn.no/forskning/fo...

Dette framstår som helt håpløst. Vi bruker masse tid hvert år på å finne eksterne sensorer til masterstudentene våre og så skal noen av dem som gjør en innsats for fellesskapet miste retten til opphold i landet? www.khrono.no/har-jobba-i-...

Zambian politics have been quite dramatic in the last 20 years (timeline below). With that kind of competition, you’d expect MPs to fight to gain an edge in every arena, especially MPs elected on a thin margin. However, I find the opposite in Zambia’s parliament: doi.org/10.1080/1357...

Thrilled that this book, with Driscoll and Krehbiel, is out this week. Its topic that become surprisingly relevant: under what conditions does the public punish presidents who ignore court decisions?

Thrilled that the first paper in my PhD thesis “State Action and Moral Attitudes toward Sexual Consent”, co-authored with Francesca R. Jensenius and @oskorge.bsky.social , has been accepted for publication in the @thejop.bsky.social! 1/

The ability to challenge flawed elections in independent courts can be crucial for democratization Spoiler: It can also be used by ruling parties to consolidate control of the legislature New article w/ @oyvindstiansen.bsky.social & @liserakner.bsky.social www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti... 1/

Proud of @annanhelgoy.bsky.social, who just won the King's Gold Medal at @unioslo-svfak.bsky.social. I highly recommend reading her wonderful research on the gendered division of (un)paid labor and its political consequences.

Contemplating (vertical) judicial power.

We show the @eucourtofjustice.bsky.social neither favors the "haves" nor has a pro-business bias: it consistently levels the odds for disempowered individuals & spotlights support for their rights.

Flere lotterier! Det vil gi mer og bedre kunnskap, som igjen kan gi bedre og mer effektiv politikk. Det skriver jeg sammen med @fiva.no, @torewig.bsky.social, @haakongjerlw.bsky.social, Aksel Braanen Sterri og Andreas K. Tveit i @aftenposten.no.

Også avslørende hvilke nyhetsmedier som verdsetter investeringer i kunnskap: Aftenposten: "Skattejoker Nord? Nei takk." DN: "Skatteeksperiment – ja, hvorfor ikke?" www.dn.no/leder/skatt/... www.aftenposten.no/meninger/led...

Et fantastisk bra initiativ fra regjeringen. En liten investering i kunnskap nå, og vi vet for alltid mye mer om virkningen av skattetrykk. Venstre bør tenke seg om en gang til før de konkluderer standpunktet sitt her. www.aftenposten.no/norge/politi...

I dag fikk jeg gleden av å debutere på Ekko på NRK P2 for å snakke om den nye regjeringen (ja vi snakket mye om Stoltenberg, da)! Det var veldig morsomt å være med og jeg fikk beskjed av min far at jeg "ikke skjemte meg ut", selv om jeg (kvalitativt) bomma litt på hvem fra Time som er på Stortinget.
