📣 New EJPR publication!

@stefaniebailer.bsky.social, @nathaliegiger.bsky.social and I study citizens’ attitudes toward MPs’ side income disclosure in 7 European countries.

MPs who conceal income are trusted least, even less than those with very high side incomes.

Wahlkampf in den sozialen Medien: Lokale Posts wirken nicht - @ohuwyler.bsky.social, @nathaliegiger.bsky.social, @stefaniebailer.bsky.social

Parlamentsmitglieder sprechen ihren Wahlkreis mittels lokalen Posts direkt an, obwohl diese Strategie nicht belohnt wird.

📣 New research in EJPR together with the wonderful @nathaliegiger.bsky.social, @stefaniebailer.bsky.social, T. Turner-Zwinkels & S. Heller:

We find:
1) MPs use more constituency signals while campaigning,
2) voters notice the signals,
3) but don't reward that behaviour.

Social media platforms offer MPs the opportunity to directly signal attention to their local voters in the constituency. And while previous research has linked the strategic use of such local cues in...

Gender, ethnicity, or incumbency: While they affect how many votes candidates get in open list PR, they don't necessarily determine who wins a seat.

📣 My new research note in @electoralstudies.bsky.social tackles this discrepancy by studying counterfactual scenarios.

📣 When do citizens accept politicians with a day job? My new study in @lgstudies.bsky.social shows how it depends on public office professionalisation.

When offices with greater time demands and higher pay are combined with day jobs, citizens trust politicians less.
