In unserer Studie zeigen wir, dass Nebeneinkünfte von Politikern unterschiedlich nach Parteipräferenz wahrgenommen werden. Mehr hier: www.econtribute.de/RePEc/ajk/aj...

We show in a survey among German voters that perceptions of outside income vary by political preference: right-leaning voters perceive it as a sign of competence while left-leaning voters associate it with reduced voter representation. 7/n

Using a proxy in the tax data, we find suggestive evidence that right-leaning MPs were the primary contributors to this effect. 6/n

Using administrative tax data and a difference-in-differences design with state MPs, we demonstrate that MPs increased their outside income following the public disclosure reform in 2007. 5/n
