Time to reshare this piece on the pitfalls of following the road Denmark has taken on immigration: ukandeu.ac.uk/denmarks-mig...

Important addition: Respondents change their preference for reference countries when exposed to real performance information.

Multi country data will soon be collected. Stay tuned!

The results are derived from pairwise comparison tasks measuring relative favorability.

750 respondents (nationally representative on age, ethnicity, and gender) from Prolific.

Data collected in late August, 2025.

Reposted by Thomas Saalfeld

In an ongoing project, we ask which countries citizens prefer as benchmarks for policy decisions.

Pilot data from the UK show that Denmark is ranked as one of the most preferred reference countries, particularly in relation to migration policy.

🆕 Campaigns do matter

Research on Denmark’s 🇩🇰 2022 EU defence opt-out vote by @rsenninger.bsky.social, Derek Beach & Jannik Fenger shows campaigns can reduce framing effects. Loss-based arguments swayed voters early but faded as they became informed.

Excited to share my first single-authored dissertation paper!

I study how voters react to party differentiation in coalitions. Voters like clear partisan signals, but the gains are short-lived and limited to aligned supporters.

A recent ReStud article:

In this article, we study key features of the innovation and diffusion of policies (...). Our study builds on the efforts of political scientists who have studied this topic since at least Walker (1969)(...).

You have work on politics in Europe, European integration or the EU?
