New working paper w/ @denis-cohen.bsky.social @rantuna.bsky.social & @turnbulldugarte.com! *Does publicly refusing to cooperate with the far right only strengthen it?* A widespread belief says yes. In this paper, we test it based on a natural experiment from Spain. tinyurl.com/5azkfnas [1/6]

Genuinely interested in your views: What is the future of teaching statistical programming language for data science in the age of AI? Will we even still teach programming R or Python?

Packing my bags (and raincoat) for #EPSS2026! I'm always super happy to meet new people, so please reach out 🌟 Also, I am hoping to connect with people who work on government consultation processes, lobbying, influence of interest groups. Sounds like you or someone you know? Drop a comment 😃👇

I will be at EPSS this week, with the following projects: "Reindustrialization and Political Change" (with @hannohilbig.bsky.social @vheddesheimer.bsky.social) at PE03: Politics of Artificial Intelligence and Labour "The Lifecycle of the Class Vote" (with @noahdasanaike.bsky.social) at

Was Umfragen nur schlecht aufzeigen können und auch Wählerstromanalysen nur selten schätzen, ist die Anzahl Wählender, die seit der letzten Wahl verstorben sind. 2021 wurde das in BaWü und 2018 in Bayern erhoben. In BaWü sehen wir, dass 11x mehr SPD-Wählende verstorben sind als zur AfD wechselten.

Tarik Abou-Chadi@tabouchadi.bsky.social · 2mo ago

Die Idee, die SPD hätte massiv Wähler:innen an die AfD verloren dominiert weiter den politischen Diskurs. Sie ist schlicht falsch. Mit dem Panel der GLES sieht man bspw. dass nur 11% der 2013 SPD-Wähler:innen 2025 AfD gewählt haben. Diese Tatsache muss doch mal in Politik und Medien ankommen.

let's get a hashtag going! #EPSS2026 ?

I am really happy to share that on 12 June, I successfully defended my PhD dissertation in political science. The defence was a lot of fun. This was in large part because of my great opponent, @henrikseeberg.bsky.social , who initiated a challenging and intellectually engaging discussion.

Heading to the #EPSSBelfast conference next week? The EPSS Diversity Committee has organized several events to make this a welcoming space for everyone. Quick thread on what's happening and when 👇

Excited to share our new paper in @thejop.bsky.social with @krausewe.bsky.social! Parties polling just below an electoral threshold are far less likely to clear it: a self-fulfilling prophecy that diminishes when polls communicate uncertainty. 🗳️📊 www.journals.uchicago.edu/doi/10.1086/...

New paper out in the @thejop.bsky.social (w/ @christinagahn.bsky.social) Do opinion polls shape election results? Using both cross-national data and a survey experiment, the answer we find is yes - though it depends on how we communicate polling results. www.journals.uchicago.edu/doi/10.1086/...
