Ever wondered what attributes are relevant in your conjoint experiment? And what assumptions you need to estimate it? Asya and I got you covered. In a new working paper we propose the APNS: the probability that an attribute's level change is necessary and sufficient for the selection of a profile.

Why do green parties struggle electorally despite widespread support for climate action? My new (first 😱) paper explores why green parties remain uniquely challenged in economic crisis & that the mechanism is not only about sociotropic concerns, but also voters’ pocketbooks 🧵

Don't forget that almost 40% of citizens above 16 in Vienna can't vote there 😓 Interesting that nationally the left is at 35 percent, in Vienna at 60, and Vienna is almost 1/4 of the population. So the left is even weaker elsewhere...

How do we stereotype our political opponents? @eelcoharteveld.bsky.social, @jnareal.bsky.social, @markuswagner.bsky.social & @piotrmarczynski.bsky.social argue political stereotypes are a blend of issues, traits & social groups rather than distinct categories. Read OPEN ACCESS:

💬 Do intra-party procedures affect how voters evaluate policy repositioning?

With Leen Lingier, @jasmienluypaert.bsky.social & @markuswagner.bsky.social, we show experimental evidence that more inclusive decision-making processes can increase approval of the repositioning and ptv for the party

New paper with Yanna Krupnikov out in Political Communication! 🎉 We know moral-emotional content ("moral outrage") spreads fast on social media. But does that mean people actually want to see it? We tested whether people select this content when given the choice - turns out, not really.
