𧡠Prior work studied the effect of (refugee) migration on far-right voting, but local inflows can only explain a sliver of the increase in FR voting around refugee waves. In my new WP, find that increased EXPECTATIONS about future migration causally increased FR voting in the Netherlands!

I really recommend this podcast episode on the story of this paper and the strange non-responses from the journal. A depressing case of how science fails to be self-correcting even in the face of extremely obvious errors.

Update #2, RETRACTED: 15 months after we (w @ollefolke.bsky.social and @johannarickne.bsky.social ) submitted the initial comment to the Journal, we've noticed the paper was ultimately retracted. Retraction note here: link.springer.com/article/10.1...

If it was a mea culpa, already the abstract should state that the main result of the paper was due to a coding error and that there is no evidence of an effect when correcting it. This is not clearly stated anywhere in the comment. The title is of course also misleading.

In his published comment, the editor writes the following about the replication files" This substantial additional material was published with replication files and access to the data for further analysis and debate." At the same time, the matter seems to be closed. 4/4

This is the journal's policy for retractions. Does the editor still have confidence in the findings of the main analysis? 3/4

In the comment "Ciacci (2025)" the author himself acknowledges that the main results do not hold up. Since the journal has published the comment, we can assume they agree with this conclusion. 2/4

Update: We submitted the comment to the Journal of Population Economics, and today we got a desk reject with this motivation. However, we do not know their conclusion about the main results and why the paper was not retracted. Clearly, they do not hold. 1/4

This is a complete misrepresentation by the journal of what happened. We first sent the comment to the author. Then, we submitted it to the journal. Finally, we posted it on social media.

The journal did not answer and the author said it took to much time, that there was maybe data restrictions and that we were ideologically biased.
