The EU's regional funds are one of the biggest spending items of the EU and a key sticking point in the next budget negotiations.

In a new paper, @valentin_lang, @DanBischof and I use new data to see who benefits from them. And we show they need fundamental reforms. Here's why:

New in @SPSR_RSSP: Youth perspectives on welfare deservingness and welfare attitudes. Young people in Switzerland provide valuable and interesting insights. Surprising: EU unemployed are NOT seen as less deserving than Swiss unemployed!

🚨Pre-print alert: Is the urban-rural divide affectively polarised? 🏙️🏞️

In a new working paper, @DominikSchraff and I explore this question using comparative survey data from 9 European countries.

New article on place-based identities and cleavage formation in the knowledge society, out in @ElectoralStdies.

If you study spatial inequalities, rural resentment, and/or generally cleavage politics, this might be of interest!

We've all heard about "immigration backlash." But what happens to immigration attitudes when populists win?

Reverse backlash! Our new study finds that public opinion is usually more pro-immigration *after* the electoral success of anti-immigration parties https://t.co/7KhiARC2Kx

@Julius_Ktxt I have coded (with the help of an RA) welfare chauvinism positions for 40 parties across 7 West European countries based on manifestos / MARPOR for my PhD. I am happy to share this data. The drawback is that I only have a snapshot at one time point (around 2018).

@julianachueri @VUamsterdam Huge congrats and very well-deserved!

[Matthias Enggist @MatthiasEnggist]

@ZackG_Politics @robfordmancs @lawrencemckay94 @PME_Politics Of course, just controlling for these crude socio-demographic factors does still not rule out that this is due to composition. The goal of the paper is primarily description. Happy to send over the working paper in case you are interested.

[Matthias Enggist @MatthiasEnggist]

@ZackG_Politics @robfordmancs @lawrencemckay94 @PME_Politics It is indeed just a 5-point answer scale that is not combined with others. We recode to the 0-100 scale for comparability with other measures/countries. Controlling for age/gender/educ/ethnicity does change the emerging gap only slightly.
