Inheritance taxation is unpopular, even amongst people who are unlikely to ever have to pay it. Why?

In four different studies - experiment! panels! behaviour! - @cvalebeek.bsky.social and I show political trust is a strong predictor for support for the tax.

This article is genuinely one of my favorite projects I've worked on so far, and I'm very thankful for all the valuable input I've received along the way – including the thoughtful and constructive feedback from three highly engaged reviewers.

2️⃣ Engaged rejecters still score relatively high on political interest and democratic support. Conventional indicators of engaged and critical citizenship may therefore obscure consequential differences in citizens’ attitudes toward political authority.

@cvalebeek.bsky.socialSep 23, 2026, 7:51 AM

The main findings: 1️⃣ Support is strongest among engaged rejecters: citizens who combine rejection of political authority with continued attention to trust-relevant political information.

πŸ“’ New publication out in @jeppjournal.bsky.social: Who endorses disruptive and intimidatory political protest?

I show that endorsement is not driven by political distrust per se, but by the fundamental rejection of political authority. 🧡

Hardop gelachen, dank.

πŸ“’ New publication out: Does low political trust uniformly keep citizens away from the ballot box? Not quite.

Among citizens who do not see voting as a civic duty, lower β€” rather than higher β€” political trust is associated with stronger turnout intentions.
