New paper w/ @lstoetze.bsky.social "Estimating Treatment Effects on Proportions with Synthetic Controls" out in @polanalysis.bsky.social 👀 When your outcomes are compositional (such as vote shares), applying synthetic controls separately to each part can break the math. We show how to fix it: 🧵

Asking for a little help with one of the articles of my thesis. Does anyone know a guide or paper discussing the use of survey weights in multilevel models with panel data? I’m struggling a bit with understanding which is the best way to include them in my model. Or if not include them altogether.

I really, really do not want Britain's first (openly) LGBTQ+ prime minister to be Wes - just throw trans folks under the bus- Streeting.

Homophobia alive and well in adoption decision-making 😱

❗My first publication is out! Using a conjoint experiment with adoption solicitations, @bertous.bsky.social and I demonstrate that modern societies still exhibit prejudice against non-traditional relationships, including same-sex, open and age-gap couples More below and in @poqjournal.bsky.social

Yet to surpass the (professional) fun we had in writing this piece now out in latest issue of @psrm.bsky.social We know political identities share the valence we assign to others. Here we asked, do valence signals also shape the partisanship we assign to others? doi.org/10.1017/psrm...

Thrilled to share our new paper with amazing Agus. We show that non-traditional families, especially open and age-gap couples, face substantial prejudice. Even LGB couples encounter bias, highlighting persistent inequalities in societies often seen as tolerant.

Do homophobia and sexual prejudice still exist in tolerant societies? In POQ, Ortega & Bosco's new study reveals how non-traditional relationships continue to be stigmatised in parenting contexts, even in seemingly liberal societies. Read now: doi.org/10.1093/poq/...

Within the next decade the radical right is going to be the main force on the right in Europe (national and EU level). This includes far-right parties and formerly centre-right parties shifting their position. Moderate conservatism and Christian democracy will largely disappear on the right. 1/

The EU’s centrist powers need to move to the right to reflect the new political reality, the leader of the European People’s Party Manfred Weber has told in an exclusive interview with POLITICO.

X is the megaphone of 21st century fascism and authoritariansim. It has poisoned public debate. It is a tool for bullying, abuse, and assault. X needs to disappear from our discourse. When people and institutions post there, it gives X credibility. It keeps it relevant. It's time to stop.

I think Transactual put it best (in reference to the girl guides) and now Labour too: "There is no problem being solved here, only harm being done." All to appease the right, who hate them anyway - shame on them.
