"Political Representation Gaps and Populism" has been making waves on twitter after being featured on Marginal Revolution

Using data on local politicians (N=9000) + voters (N=28.000) from my article in Politica with @mvinaes.bsky.social in Denmark, this does not seem to be the case.

How do challenger parties—those without prior governing experience—gain access to executive power? In our paper out now in @thejop.bsky.social, @mvinaes.bsky.social, @jacobnyrup.bsky.social, and I explore whether simply holding legislative office helps them join government. Brief 🧵👇

We use a RDD to show that legislative incumbency makes - often extreme - challenger parties more likely to gain power.

Ford, Bush og Trump benådede politisk allierede der havde begået kriminalitet for at hjælpe det Republikanske parti.

Altså mere cute at benåde sin søn!

Trump, som jo skal være præsident, har jo gjort og vil gøre langt værre ting end at benåde Hunter Biden. Måske skal vi fokusere på det?

it’s fascinating that left-NIMBYs will just nonchalantly say “the private sector will never release enough homes to allow prices to fall” as if it’s some universally known truth…

when in reality, that’s exactly what happened in Austin and Minneapolis

It looks the House popular vote margin will be ~3%, almost exactly the same as 2022. The seat count will also be very close to unchanged. House Republicans also again outperformed Trump (& Senate Republicans).

⏰HOUSING AND LOCAL CONTROL⏰

Less local ctrl should translate into more housing, as the power of NIMBY activists wane.

But in a new paper, Laura Kettel and I show that a reform that diluted local control over land use in Denmark lead to less housing???

What role did the Catholic Church play in European state formation? In our book, Jørgen Møller and I argue that the Church was the main engine behind external and internal political fragmentation in pre-modern Europe. 1/N
