New paper at EJPR on the societal effects of regional inequalities in Europe
New working paper: Who rallies around the flag during the pandemic?
Paper on Covid-19 and political trust accepted at EJPR
My recent paper on the effects of the Covid-19 pandemic on political trust has now been accepted at the European Journal of Political Research. I argue that anxiety in the face of rising Covid-19 has pushed standard cognitive evaluations of the political regime to the background, leading to a rally around the flag effect. Using Dutch survey data from March/April 2020, I show that rising trust is explained by increasing Covid-19 incidents. The specific lockdown measures, in contrast, have had no direct causal effect on political trust. These findings raise interesting questions for future research on the role of emotions for political trust formation in a crisis. The pre-print is available here.
Quasi-experimental paper on public opinion effects of differentiated integration out now at EUP
My recent paper with Frank Schimmelfennig investigates the effects of opt-out votes in single EU member states on perceptions of EU regime legitimacy. We find that differentiated integration has the potential to accommodate heterogeneous preferences on EU integration, narrowing the gap in legitimacy perceptions between Eurosceptic and Europhile voters.
Fritz Thyssen Prize for best article in the social sciences
I am grateful that my recent article in the Swiss Political Science Review receives the 2020 Fritz Thyssen prize for the best article published in the social sciences of the German-speaking world. Some research publishes more easily, most is difficult to publish, and some gets not published at all. This piece was one of the more difficult ones. So I am even more pleased to see it winning a price. Thanks to SPSR for nominating my contribution!
COVID-19 and Political Trust
I have written a short paper on the effect of the Covid-19 pandemic on institutional trust. You can download the draft here: Political trust during Covid Preprint.
