(+) Hvis vi vil beholde velferdsstaten, må vi regne med å bruke mer penger på den

Very happy to share my first publication! 🥳
It's published in @jpube.bsky.social (w/ Benny Geys & Rune Sørensen) and tackles a classic question:
Why do people vote in large elections, when the probability of casting a pivotal vote is virtually zero? 🗳️

Dette er fantastiske nyheter for det norske demokratiet! Det blir ikke avstemning over alternativ (forslaget fra AP og H) i statsbudsjettvoteringer likevel. Ville skjøvet mye makt fra storting til regjering om det gikk gjennom.
