Why do rustbelts vote radical right? Studying the German Ruhr area, @nilsblossey.bsky.social, @lstoetze.bsky.social and I show: it’s not just about deindustrialization, but also about the original industrialization. Where coal is buried deeper and mining started later, the AfD is stronger today 1/12

Can government policies moderate political backlash to structural change?

Yes, the effect operates through material benefits and social recognition.

6/6 🧵IN EJPR, @slstutzmann.bsky.social studies electoral effects of coal phase-outs in 🇩🇪 with admin data & DID design. Punishment of issue owners (left parties) and abstention increase. Not caused by real economic decline but perceived deprivation & loss of status. https://doi.org/n6sj

New article accepted at CPS. @denis-cohen.bsky.social @thmskrr.bsky.social and I analyze how rental market risk affects radical right support. Combining data on local rent increases with the SOEP, we find that individuals facing increasing local rents become more likely to support the AfD. 🧵
