🚨New paper out at Journal of European Public Policy: Do Europeans want tariffs? No! Our conjoint experiments show that the mass public does not support tariffs, no matter how they are framed. Full paper below ⬇️ It was great to work on such a timely piece with a stellar team of co-authors ✨

Tariffs might be the word of 2025. Given the state of *looks around* we asked: is there demand for tariffs in Europe? @grahn.bsky.social @katharinalawall.bsky.social @sophiemainz.bsky.social Maria Nordbrandt & I show the answer is a resolute no @jeppjournal.bsky.social doi.org/10.1080/1350...

Could you help us out? We're looking for German post election surveys including state elections - any pointers very welcome! See full details below - thank you

Hey everyone, I am looking for homogenized data on *post-electoral* surveys in Germany. We would need them for federal, EU, and ideally also state elections—but anything you can help with is very much welcome! Anyone know of a single dataset including them for several elections? Thanks so much!

Does copying the radical right's "tough" anti-immigration rhetoric pay off? No! Our new pre print provides evidence that Starmer's anti-immigration speech did not benefit Labour - with important implications for mainstream parties across Europe. Thread below ⬇️

🚨New pre-print with @versteegenluca.bsky.social and @mtsakiris.bsky.social on emotions and polarization ⬇️ We often intuitively think that affective polarization (AP) is about strong negative emotions, e.g. fear & loathing. But how do citizens actually feel? Spoiler: not as negative as assumed!

🚨Pre-print alert🚨 Research shows citizens in many Western democracies are increasingly affectively polarized––they feel warm toward their own party but quite cold toward opposing parties. But how does it feel to “feel warmly”? @katharinalawall.bsky.social, @mtsakiris.bsky.social & I asked. 🧵1/8

With Trump's victory, the need for a fresh UK-EU strategy has never been more urgent. Check out my latest piece in the Conversation on "Bresignation" and how the UK can re-configure the UK-EU relationship: shorturl.at/VyDYw #polisky #UKEUReset

Bresignation: British people are ready to turn a page on the EU referendum vote

The British public has moved beyond wanting to relitigate the Brexit referendum, making now a good time to reset relations with Brussels.

Very excited that one of my first-authored PhD papers is now conditionally accepted at the JOP! 🥳Through a digital field experiment in collab. with a political party, we test what identity primes mobilise supporters. 👉Going negative is mobilising but has drawbacks! #identity #campaigns #experiment

If you like pre-registered field experiments that manipulate identity primes & rely on validated behavioural outcome measures (💰), then you will likely enjoy this new (conditionally accepted at JOP) paper with the fantastic @katharinalawall.bsky.social & @florianfoos.bsky.social osf.io/p93kq
