Mens observasjonsstudier finner en effekt, er det liten effekt når man studerer det skikkelig med eksperimenter, se f.eks. metastudien fra Munzert & Ramirez-Ruiz (2021)

Aps dramatiske opptur skjedde nesten utelukkende i et kort 1-2 måneders intervall akkurat der Sp forlot regjeringen, Stoltenberg returnerte, Ap lanserte Norgespris og Trump skapte masse uro internasjonalt. 2/3

Norwegian Conservatives down from around 25 to 16pp over the last year. Now promising massive tax cuts in bid to bring back support. Will be interesting to see whether it works. Elections coming up early September.

The Norwegian Labour party (Ap) has kept their newfound popularity for 3 months now, while the pop. right Progress Party (Frp) is down ~5pp. Elections coming up early September.

Very happy to share our new article in JoP @thejop.bsky.social, where we explore how parties forge links with social groups (here: social classes) through different appeals and how citizens respond to such appeals.

Prognosene antyder at radikale venstre og radikale høyre styrker seg kraftig i Tyskland. Den upopulære regjeringen ser ut til å straffes hardt, spesielt sosialdemokratene i SPD, men også øk. liberale FDP som gikk ut før jul.

Norwegian politics has been thrown upside-down in a couple of weeks. After 3,5 years, the unpopular Labour and rural party government broke down. The social democrats continued alone and now enjoy a massive and sudden boost of 6-10 percentage points. [1/4]

Norge er blant landene med flest arbeiderministre i verden! Vi er ikke helt ferdig med å fikse klassevariabelen og har funnet noen feilkodinger, så denne er ikke endelig og overdriver antallet noe (ta den med en klype salt), men foreløpig figur:

But one indication that this is not just about changing class structure in society is that the decline mirrors ideological or political developments. E.g. see this figure from the Sovet Union/Russia.

Workers were never well-represented among cabinet ministers globally, but things have deteriorated over time. From our Paths to Power project where we have collected biographical data on almost 45,000 ministers from 137 countries in the period 1966-2021.

Ad debatten om midlertidig ansettelser/innleie i #dax18 i går, her er det forskningen sier om helseeffektene av jobbusikkerhet. Noe akademia også bør reflektere over, som i alt for stor grad hviler på midlertidighet, med alle de negative konsekvensene det har for både den enkelte og systemet.

In line with conclusions of @linerenn.bsky.social, but unlike many claims elsewhere, there is no evidence that SD support has become a middle-class phenomenon anywhere but perhaps in Italy.

In most countries, the highly educated and those without higher education support SD parties at similar rates. But unlike Piketty's brahmanisation thesis, the highly educated are not overrepresented in a single SD electorate. In several countries, the opposite is the case.

Despite some variation, this generally holds for attitudes to economic left-right, immigration, moral traditionalism, environmentalism, and gender equality. The clearest exception to the pattern is Italian women who are, on average, more skeptical of immigration than Italian men.
