#Brextinction

Considering support decline for #Brexit since 2016, @fresejoris.bsky.social
@juhoharkonen.bsky.social & @simonhix.bsky.social look at #CohortReplacement to argue that generational shifts will keep pressuring Brexit support to 2030

Good to see a piece about the EUI in The Economist. But this is a hatched job, with little resemblance to reality. Charlemagne is usually excellent, so this is odd. Can only think that @spignal.bsky.social talked to people who don't really know what's going on.

Day 1 of the Age-Period-Cohort Workshop - organised by our @rafgrotti.bsky.social - is a wrap! ✨

Key takeaway: the APC identification problem may be an unsolvable puzzle, but there are some tricks to get around it.

Thanks to @juhoharkonen.bsky.social & J. van Leeuwen for sharing their expertise!

Today was my last day as Director of the @eui-eu.bsky.social Max Weber Programme. In September I told the fellows that they will look back at the postdoc years as the best ones of their careers. My years at the MWP matched those. I’ll miss them, the fantastic fellows, and the view from the office

Can support for Brexit survive? 🤔 in this paper with @fresejoris.bsky.social @simonhix.bsky.social we estimate that the declining support for Brexit has to an important extent related to older Brexit supporters passing away (and younger Bremainers joinig the electorate). 1/2
🇬🇧🇪🇺 Published Today in EJPR 🇬🇧🇪🇺

@simonhix.bsky.social @juhoharkonen.bsky.social and I find that 1/3 of the anti-Brexit shift in the UK can be attributed to the impact of cohort replacement (old voters dying, young people becoming eligible to vote)! 1/12

EUI ranked #6 globally in political science.

Now the day came that I had to reject a paper because we couldn’t find a single reviewer for it (after 20+ tries).

And yes, it was on an LMIC country. And that’s a pattern. How’s that for social scientists’ open-mindedness?
