Had such a blast working with @vlad_surdea on this paper which asks when do historical legacies cease to persist, which has found its home at @JPIPE_journal. Check it out 👇🏻

[Vlad Surdea-Hernea @vlad_surdea]

The persistence literature treats historical legacies as something close to a stylized fact. My new paper with amazing @ItsLetitiaRoman challenges this view, theorising conditions under which legacies break and testing our framework on Ottoman corruption in Romanian healthcare.

🚨 Why do people protest against authoritarian regimes even when facing extreme danger? 🚨

In our new paper on Romania's 1989 Revolution, we find that communities exposed to the communist Gulag showed 5x higher dissent levels.

In @apsrjournal, @sabrinabarias and @Chris_W_Blair show that individuals affected by Hurricane Ian reported increased support for climate policy action and more positive attitudes towards climate migrants for up to six months after the hurricane.

[Sascha E. Ostanina @SaschaOstanina]

Today, the @EU_Commission has adopted the first EU defence industrial strategy (EDIS) that seeks to incentivise European defence cooperation

The strategy’s main aim is to stimulate market cooperation, but it can also have security implications. 1/7

[Vlad Surdea-Hernea @vlad_surdea]

Does political violence mobilise dissidents in an environment where the government is likely to further repress dissent?

🚨In a new paper🚨 , we look at the persistent effects of the Romanian Gulag on participation in the anti-communist Revolution of 1989.
