Spørgsmålet om indførelse af en formueskat på de 22.000 rigeste danskere har været helt centralt i den første uge af valgkampen. Men hvad ved vi egentlig fra forskningen om, hvad der former danskernes holdning til at beskatte de rigeste? En kort tråd 🧵 (1/8)

🚨New @BJPolS article🚨
Why does the ethnic majority expect that ethnic minorities "free ride" and contribute less to the collective? I show that negative expectations are driven by the correlates of ethnicity rather than ethnicity itself🧵👇

Local citizen opposition have made it hard for cities to permit new housing.
The focus of this #NIMBY-opposition tends to be apartment buildings.
In a new article, @NNyholt and I explore why there is so much opposition to this type of housing.

Interested in the effect of cross-class exposure on attitudes toward redistribution?
In a new paper in @BJPolS, Kim Sønderskov, @ThistedPeter, and I find that local exposure to poor individuals reduces support for redistribution among the well-off.

Our findings are robust to a host of various specifications, such as limiting the sample to people staying put in the neighborhood, adding the local Gini coefficient to our main models, and using alternative measures of exposure to poor people.

In sum, our results thus support the negative effect of exposure to poor individuals on the better-off's support for redistribution and point to self-selection as being one plausible explanation for why some studies have found the opposite.
