Important and constructive contribution on an often misdefined and underdeveloped issue by @tabouchadi.bsky.social & @bjoernbremer.bsky.social & @siljahausermann.bsky.social

Based on our new PPRNet research briefs @tabouchadi.bsky.social, @siljahausermann.bsky.social, and I argue in The Guardian that building alone won't solve the housing crisis. Housing is fundamentally redistributive, and progressive policy must treat it as such. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

With housing affordability becoming one of the most pressing challenges today, our new PPRNet research briefs couldn't be more timely. 8 expert analyses on what progressive housing policy should look like—and how to make it politically viable. politicscentre.nuffield.ox.ac.uk/progressive-...

After more than 10 years of “the Danish Model”, nativism is hegemonic in the country, the far right polls near level highs again, and the Social Democrats lost Copenhagen and poll at historic low. European Social Democrats should look at the facts, not the myths! Me in @theguardian.com

In a new paper, we provide fresh evidence on the macroeconomic effects of public investment in 27 EU member states. We find that public investment has favorable effects on output and unemployment; doesn't crowd out private investment; and doesn't jeopardise debt sustainability.

For the Guardian, @turnbulldugarte.com and I discuss our research that clearly shows one thing: Labour's anti-immigration strategy will only strengthen Reform and weaken its own electoral prospects. It won't win voters back but ultimately normalizes the far right www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Very excited for our 4th Progressive Politics Research Network workshop today and tomorrow at Humboldt University in Berlin. With a fabulous group of participants we will not only discuss our research but also how we can use it to inform public debate.

Even in times of sociocultural conflict, a progressive left electorate is more averse to sociocultural *and* socioeconomic inequalities than (far) right voters. New paper with @siljahausermann.bsky.social Palmtag @tabouchadi.bsky.social @stefwalter.bsky.social Berkinshaw tinyurl.com/d42wyb79 1/n

New article out in World Politcs. We analyze how different groups react to varying programs of social democratic parties. We find less trade-offs than often assumed. Generally, more left-progressive programs increase support among social democratic potentials muse.jhu.edu/pub/1/articl...

This is an excellent chart, most notably because it shows that the collapse of mainstream parties in Europe & the rise of the far right started with the GFC/Lost Decade/needless austerity from 2008-18. Yes, the refugee crisis, Covid, & inflation mattered, but it was all well under way by then.

I am looking to hire a post-doctoral researcher to work with me in a project on social cleavages and political party competition in Europe: lu.varbi.com/en/what:job/... Happy to answer any questions, and thanks in advance for circulating the call!

Zahlt es sich für sozialdemokratische Parteien aus, aus „ökonomischer Verantwortlichkeit“ auf konservative Finanzpolitik zu setzen? Nein, argumentiert @bjoernbremer.bsky.social in Teil 4 der #PPRNet & zeigt, dass Austerität von links sozialdemokratischen Parteien schadet #Bundestagswahl2025 #polisky

Tell them, Mario.

Interested in austerity politics and public opinion? I greatly enjoyed this conversation with @vikburgi.bsky.social and @juliusk.bsky.social, drawing on my work with @retobuergisser.bsky.social and other ongoing research.

Welche verteilungspolitische Wirkung hat der Aufstieg grüner Parteien? Sind sie eine Gefahr für den Wohlfahrtsstaat? In Teil 2 unserer #PPRNet-Serie zeigen @hannaschwander.bsky.social und @bjoernbremer.bsky.social, dass das Gegenteil zutrifft. #Bundestagswahl #BTW2025 #Politikwissenschaft

Rechtzeitig zur Bundestagswahl veröffentlicht @pw-portal.bsky.social unsere PPRNet Research Briefs auf deutsch. Wahlen und die darauffolgenden Analysen sind voll von unbelegten Mythen. In den Research Briefs entkräften wir einige dieser Mythen vor allem zu linken und progressiven Parteien.

Unsere Studie mit @meretstephan.bsky.social zeigt, dass anti-rassistische Proteste die AfD schwächen können ✊ Jetzt hat @volksverpetzer.de die Ergebnisse nochmal zusammenfassend aufgearbeitet! Das vollständige @wzb.bsky.social WZB Discussion Paper gibt es hier:👇

Until recently, policymakers still pretended to care abt climate (in EU, still?😱🫠). Looking at public investment, I ask: Do they really? Why may they prioritize other objectives? With what effects? W/ other great contributions, food for thought here: politicscentre.nuffield.ox.ac.uk/progressive-...

Spot-on by @jonhenley.bsky.social (with great comments by @tabouchadi.bsky.social and @sldelange.bsky.social) - and an interesting question is *why* centre-right politicians refuse to acknowledge this and act on it. Just how long will they go on doing two plus two and making five?
