How does inequality shape institutional trust in Europe? In our recent paper @EJPRjournal we find that changes in a state's regional inequality have similarly strong effects on trust as changes in the Gini coefficient of income inequality. https://t.co/Zqgm4lt4t9
Referendum votes on EU agreements create a situation of asymmetric ratitifaction standards. In my recent paper @jepp_journal, I provide empirical evidence that this can undermine the legitimacy of EU governance. https://t.co/67MbY8cvz3
The Covid-19 pandemic has led to a rally around the flag effect in political support. This is a short threat on recent work with @svenhegewald on this dynamic. We use high quality Dutch panel data @centerdata that covers the time before and during the first Covid-19 wave.
