Confused about what's going on in German politics right now? 😕

Relationship status: It's complicated — and, to top it all off, some of the key players involved had to pose for this awkward photo...

On the occasion of the #EUelections2024, I was interviewed by @L1 about my research on the effects of air pollution on voting. The result is a really nice explainer video📽️. If you want to listen to me summarizing the paper in 🇳🇱, check it out here 👇🏻

Now (finally) out in @PNASNews: "The political fallout of air pollution"

We show that higher local air pollution on election day shifts votes away from incumbent to opposition parties, with (negative) emotions being a likely mechanism.🗳️🏭

Germany contributed nothing to its liberation.
The blood of others had to be shed so that our country could start anew.
Many people even deduce from Germany's historical guilt that they do not have to or cannot help others today.

You are in government and interested in re-election?

Then you may want to support policies curbing air pollution!

Why?

Because incumbent parties' electoral support is lower when air is more polluted on election day! 🗳️🏭
