Makes you consider what political capital actually is.

Kommunalvalget nærmer sig, og på DR kan man læse, at 300 lokalpolitikere har skiftet parti siden valget i 2021. Har det egentlig konsekvenser for partihopperne? Det har Frederik Thygesen med mig som sidevogn undersøgt i en artikel, der snart udgives hos Politica. Lidt centrale fund 👇

Having more international students makes the pie bigger. That is why the Trump policy of a cap on international students will hurt domestic students

Paths to Power (PtP) is out in @bjpols.bsky.social! It is a database with data on cabinet members' social profile globally from 1966-2021. This is a great team effort with @chknutsen.bsky.social, @peterla.bsky.social, @inalkristiansen.bsky.social. But many more helped us along the way 🙏 A short 🧵

Weren't books pretty accessible after the 1440s, post-Gutenberg? Why go to university, when you can read the books yourself?

Next Saturday's anti-Trump 'No Kings' protest is expected to be the largest single demonstration in U.S. history.

I just want preferential treatments for Greater-Boston Residents for Boston games. But I'm sure they are just going to drive a couple of busses of loyalists to enjoy the games. Smh.

I personally benefited from this when I applied, and I highly recommend it with wonderful people!

“Most social scientists faced with the problem of authority are content to cite a few well-known passages from Weber-the acknowledged authority on the subject-then continue blithely with their analysis.” (Patterson, 1982, p. 36) Authority seems replaceable with any term.

Learn from the master. Also a reminder that sociologist have plenty to say about the economy. You might even say the economy is embedded in a network of social relations.

"Political Representation Gaps and Populism" has been making waves on twitter after being featured on Marginal Revolution Using data on local politicians (N=9000) + voters (N=28.000) from my article in Politica with @mvinaes.bsky.social in Denmark, this does not seem to be the case.

Sigh, the American view on Europe

"Political Representation Gaps and Populism" has been making waves on twitter after being featured on Marginal Revolution Using data on local politicians (N=9000) + voters (N=28.000) from my article in Politica with @mvinaes.bsky.social in Denmark, this does not seem to be the case.

The question is whether human participants will substitute themselves with LLMs - and whether we can detect this.

I vaguely recall seeing a paper some time ago here comparing the political effects of cities designed with a "middle/center" and "linear" cities, with one long road. What article was this? I believe it was in Germany.

Thank you so much for sharing, very much appreciated! Here's the link to the full article with @ankuepfer.bsky.social (@ejprjournal.bsky.social): ejpr.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

It has been the honor of my life to serve as Commissioner of BLS alongside the many dedicated civil servants tasked with measuring a vast and dynamic economy. It is vital and important work and I thank them for their service to this nation.

Update: I offered the amendment. Not to refuse acceptance of the Qatari jet; just to prohibit Trump from taking it with him when he leaves office - after the taxpayers spend $1 billion to retrofit it. Failed 14-15. Every single Republican voted to allow Trump to take the jet.

This is a simplistic but commonly-held view about how science actually works. Doing rigorous& impactful science often means ignoring (some) null results. Intermediate results, null and positive, arise on the way to a publishable contribution, and not all are perfectly rigorous.🧪#neuroscience 1/
