New paper in @ajpseditor.bsky.social. Is descriptive representation good for substantive representation? Why do voters stay loyal to corrupt and poorly governing ethnic parties? I argue that we ought to focus less on patronage and more on dignity concerns. Defiant pride can come at a price. 1/🧵

Congrats to @daniel-a-n-goldstein.com and @drewstommes.bsky.social for showing how an information treatment that US wars are fought predominantly by the poor increases preferences for recruiting from the rich.

I have a new paper with Daniel Goldstein evaluating whether and how citizens want to address the differential burdens of public goods provision, focusing on the physical costs of US military conflict disproportionately borne by less affluent Americans.
