New paper with @mhamjediers.bsky.social

German judges have discretion to apply rehabilitative juvenile criminal law (Jugendstrafrecht) or punitive adult criminal law to 18–20-year-old offenders. We show that immigrant youths are ~10 percentage points less likely to be sentenced under juvenile law

The Atlantic detailedly covered our study (w. @hannohilbig.bsky.social & @anselmhager.bsky.social) about the effects of rent control on NIMBYism together with @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social ideas about rent control.

Überraschend, dass das ZDF-Politbarometer diese Umfrage so verzerrt darstellt: Statt nach der Originalaussage von Merz zu fragen, die tagelang diskutiert wurde, wird in der Umfrage seine späte Rechtfertigung ergänzt. In der Grafik wird das aber gar nicht erwähnt. So geht Framing.

very interesting article!

"[...] economic segregation appears as roughly three times bigger when considering wealth instead of income. When disaggregating for percentiles, higher values of wealth segregation appear to be mostly driven by the segregation of the most affluent segments of society."

Was mich am #Stadtbild stört:
Überall die gleichen Geschäfte
Zubetonierte Plätze
Viel zu viele Autos
Zu wenig Sitzgelegenheiten
Zu wenig Mülleimer
Zu viele Reklametafeln

Was mich nicht am Stadtbild stört:
Menschen

Vor ziemlich genau 8 Jahren hat Jörg Meuthen, ehem. Vorsitzender der AfD, gesagt, er sehe in den Innenstädten "noch vereinzelt Deutsche". Die Vorsitzende der CDU, Angela Merkel, hat ihm umgehend widersprochen. Friedrich Merz hat heute die Sprache und Position der AfD übernommen.

Ohne Witz, die Regios und S-Bahnen zwischen Frankfurt und Mainz/Wiesbaden sind so ziemlich das Unzuverlässigste, was ich im Nahverkehr bisher erlebt habe.
Dagegen ist der Berliner S-Bahn-Betrieb ein Traum.

Bei der nächsten Konferenz in Mainz dann doch lieber vor Ort ins Hotel... #AkadSoz25

Danke! Nur als Mini-Korrektur: Einführung des Mietendeckels, nicht der Mietpreisbremse, das sind ja doch zwei Policies mit sehr unterschiedlichem Umfang im Sinne der Mietenregulierung

Hier gibt es auch einen kurzen Thread mit einer Kurz-Zusammenfassung der Ergebnisse:

Now out in @cpsjournal.bsky.social. In our new article, @denis-cohen.bsky.social @thmskrr.bsky.social and I show that where local rent prices increase more, residents with lower incomes become more likely to support the radical right AfD.

Striking visualisation of the global mobility divide! Also chance to highlight some relevant research... 🧵
There was lots of data to play with for #TidyTuesday this week where we're looking at the power of different passports! ✈️

I decided to try out the idea of using small multiples and highlighting to untangle a spaghetti chart with lots of lines 📊

I still get angry when I think about all the pseudo intellectual Feuilleton articles warning about left "cancel culture" and now we have real culture and nobody cares...

This new study shows: in Germany, it has become much harder for children to earn more than their parents, now about as hard as in the US: "parental income has become much more important for educational outcomes of children"

Did military service in Europe affect men's occupational choices? @mhamjediers.bsky.social presenting at #ECSR2025, very focused and passionate about research, as usual.

We investigate selection into armed forces, licensed and male-dominated occupations across multiple countries.
