Excited to announce that the first paper @HeikeKluever and I started during my PhD is now available at @WEPsocial! We find that exposure to radical right parties in parliament leads coalitions to adopt tougher immigration policies in their joint agreements.

Der Terrorangriff der Hamas auf #Israel ist jetzt bald vier Wochen her. Vieles ist seitdem passiert, die öffentliche Debatte aufgeheizt und verworren. Im Video deshalb einige Gedanken von Vizekanzler und Minister Robert #Habeck zur Einordnung und Differenzierung.

I have been at a loss for words since the weekend; I am deeply worried for the safety of my friends, family & people suffering from brutality. When I got this email today, I burst into tears. If you can help Aaron, please let me know, and I will connect you to him. Please help!

Has #Hamas invasion affected public opinion toward the conflict? By pure coincidence, @miguelmaria and I currently have a survey in the field, measuring who Germans blame for conflict in the ME. The attack has significantly shifted opinion: A majority now blames Palestinians.

Important work on how biased perceptions on tax contributions shape policy preferences!
Do you feel taxed fairly? @fabian_kalf & I find: the rich overestimate their tax contributions relative to the poor & vice versa; once the rich learn that the poor pay more tax than they thought, they increase their willingness to pay tax. @DelorsBerlin doi.org/10.1093/esr/jcad060

Just over a year after my thesis defense, I'm thrilled to see my doctoral JMP published in @cps_journal. Grateful to my supervisor, committee, and colleagues whose contributions shaped this paper: doi.org/10.1177/001041402311…
New from @FabioEllger (WZB). Polarization tends to increase turnout, but what's the mechanism? B/c it brings new actors into the party system? or b/c negative affect is increasing? Exploring 22 Euro countries, results find negative affect more important journals.sagepub.com/doi/ful…

Examining European parliamentary democracies, I show that polarized party systems are associated with higher voter turnout. Exploring the mechanism, I show that negative affect plays a more robust role in predicting participation than positive affect or spatial considerations.
