1/ How does migration affect political attitudes? Using 380k obs from 104 sending & 28 receiving countries, @filipkostelka.bsky.social, Nicolas Sauger & I find some migrants’ attitudes align with locals, while others exceed origin-host context, reshaping ideological space. 👉 doi.org/10.1111/ajps...

Partisans often seem unwavering in their support for a politician/policy, even when faced with opposing evidence. But recent studies show that partisans can be persuaded. So how can both be true? My new @bjpols.bsky.social ky.social paper explores this Q: doi.org/10.1017/S000...

New paper on misperceptions out in PNAS @pnas.org www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/... Why do people overestimate the size of politically relevant groups (immigrant, LGBTQ, Jewish) and quantities (% of budget spent on foreign aid, % of refugees that are criminals)?🧵👇

Does Mainstream Populism Work❓ I answer this question in a new paper officially out at @psrm.bsky.social❗ Check out the paper here: doi.org/10.1017/psrm... Key take-aways in the thread below 🧵⬇️:

🚨Publication Alert 🚨 Just in time for the next #BTW25, in my latest article doi.org/10.1111/pops... I show that far-right parties benefit strongly from heightened migration debates, but that left-wing parties can also benefit to some extent by offering pro-immigrant, inclusive positions. #polpsy

📢 We are hiring: 4-year PhD position at the Department of Government @univie.ac.at 👇

Can facts ever change minds on immigration? I was skeptical—until working w. @landgravephd.bsky.social changed my own mind. Our new paper shows most Americans underestimate how difficult the US legal immigration process is. Sharing facts on policy makes people more positive: doi.org/10.1017/XPS....

Spring's Causal course is looming and I'm looking for a Berlin-based TA. It's 2h of me & 4h of explaining what I was trying to say, for 12 weeks Note: Ceci n'est pas un cours d'économétrie. We get everywhere: sociology to policy, epidemiology to economics. DAG-heavy, R-centric, with a pinch of ML.

My book is here! Such a wonderful feeling to see it in print. While the book covers a group of parties that is very successful in the volatile party systems of Centr.&Eastern Europe, I learned a lot from studying these parties for party system change in general. A thread 1/10
