@adambonica.bsky.social showed ideology predicts which agencies experience DOGE layoffs. But what other factors could be driving this?

Apply to present at Virtual IPES! We ask accepted authors to name their discussant “dream team” and we’ll try to make that happen, with the support of the wonderful IPE community (thank you). We particularly encourage submissions from graduate students and early-career scholars.
