"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.

NOW OUT ON FIRSTVIEW!! "Reassessing the Impact of Local Control: When Smaller #Local #Governments Permit More #Housing" By @mvinaes.bsky.social‬ & @laurakettel.bsky.social‬ doi.org/10.1017/S153...

How do challenger parties—those without prior governing experience—gain access to executive power? In our paper out now in @thejop.bsky.social, @mvinaes.bsky.social, @jacobnyrup.bsky.social, and I explore whether simply holding legislative office helps them join government. Brief 🧵👇 1/10

‪Very happy to see 𝙍𝙚𝙞𝙣𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙞𝙣 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙍𝙖𝙨𝙘𝙖𝙡𝙨 out in the @thejop.bsky.social co-authored with @fghjorth.bsky.social & @mvinaes.bsky.social: www.journals.uchicago.edu/doi/10.1086/... We use a RDD to show that legislative incumbency makes - often extreme - challenger parties more likely to gain power.

Ford, Bush og Trump benådede politisk allierede der havde begået kriminalitet for at hjælpe det Republikanske parti. Altså mere cute at benåde sin søn!

Trump, som jo skal være præsident, har jo gjort og vil gøre langt værre ting end at benåde Hunter Biden. Måske skal vi fokusere på det?

it’s fascinating that left-NIMBYs will just nonchalantly say “the private sector will never release enough homes to allow prices to fall” as if it’s some universally known truth… when in reality, that’s exactly what happened in Austin and Minneapolis

Starter packs seem bad. Whats the incentive for posting well?

Ofc this is the much worse categorization.

Nej, hvor har jeg savnet det her.

It looks the House popular vote margin will be ~3%, almost exactly the same as 2022. The seat count will also be very close to unchanged. House Republicans also again outperformed Trump (& Senate Republicans). www.cookpolitical.com/vote-tracker...

Inspired by @dtoshkov.bsky.social and the upcoming conference abstract season, types of EPSA papers

Sker der noget her?

Tillykke @mvinaes.bsky.social med prisen! ps.au.dk/aktuelt/nyhe... Det er godt gået - og så er der bare swung over det foto. 😀

⏰HOUSING AND LOCAL CONTROL⏰ Less local ctrl should translate into more housing, as the power of NIMBY activists wane. But in a new paper, Laura Kettel and I show that a reform that diluted local control over land use in Denmark lead to less housing??? osf.io/5adyg/

What role did the Catholic Church play in European state formation? In our book, Jørgen Møller and I argue that the Church was the main engine behind external and internal political fragmentation in pre-modern Europe. 1/N
