It always surprises me how many PhD and master students never attend seminars. How are they supposed to learn? When I was one, I forced myself to attend at least one session a week. One of the most critical academic decisions I ever made.

Integrating this calendar has been a game-changer for staying up to date. 🫶Everything in one place! 🎓📅

🔍These effects are not driven by social capital or privacy concerns: almost everyone prefers high social capital and low social surveillance.

What do we find?

🎆Neighbourhood and mayor ideology significantly affect residential preferences.
🤝Left-leaning contexts are more tolerated than any other ideology.
🌇Sorting is more common on the extremes.

➡️What drives where we choose to live? Beyond prices, services, or commute times, does ideology also matter? We study whether political ideology shapes residential preferences.

📊Using a conjoint design, we move beyond US-centric studies.

🌇We also vary multiple neighbourhood characteristics.
