What are your favorite papers that make descriptive claims (as opposed to causal claims)? I'm thinking of papers in the spirit of Gerring's "Mere Description." www.cambridge.org/core/journal... I put a couple of examples below. What else do you like?

New paper with @halling.bsky.social ✔️ Policymakers more tolerant of administrative burden when provided with justification. ✔️ Justifications more effectual amongst right-wing politicians. ✔️ More tolerated when justified to protect budgets. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

Do Justifications Affect Tolerance for Administrative Burdens? Evidence From a Survey Experiment Among Policymakers

It is important to study what drives policymakers' tolerance for burdens because they adopt the policies and processes that organise citizens' encounters with the state. Relying on theories on accoun...

Two new pieces of open access research on administrative burden in Public Administration Review. First, with @martinbaekgaard.bsky.social & @halling.bsky.social: we develop a measure to capture why some people tolerate administrative burdens. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

Our research on Need for Chaos was focused on how some voters wanted to watch the world burn: www.cambridge.org/core/journal... With DOGE it now seems to be official government strategy from Trump & Musk But the goal seems the same: Burning down existing structures for selfish status gain

Grad methods should teach: -Gelman & Stern 2006 (below) -Heinmueller et al. on interactions -Data Colada on power -Gelman on interaction power -Jacob/me on post-treatment bias -Franco et al. on dropping conditions/outcomes (still common in "preregistered" work) So many of my reviews are about these

Den hovedløse universitetsreform er blevet justeret en anelse i dag. Men det er grundlæggende den samme aftale, hvor det ene hjørne er blevet forbedret en smule, mens et andet er blevet forværret inden for den samme økonomi. Det grundlæggende spørgsmål er stadig: Hvad skal det nytte? #dkpol #uddpol

Der kommer IKKE til at blive plantet en milliard træer i Grøn Træpark. Det er nemlig et inderligt meningsløst mål. #dkpol #dkgreen #dknatur klimamonitor.dk/debat/art101...

Træplantning som klimaredskab ender ofte med meningsløse påstande om antal plantede træer. Det gælder også for ambitionen om en milliard træer i Grøn Trepart, skriver dagens debattør.
