Beim Deutschlandfunk durfte ich 10 Minuten über unsere neue Studie zur oft ausbleibenden Reaktion von Parteien auf hohe ökonomische Ungleichheit sprechen. Und darüber, warum das ein Problem für Demokratie ist. Die APSR Studie deckt 12 Länder 1970-2020 ⬇️

Why don’t parties of the left reduce inequality?
Research by a @Cambridge_Uni team led by @_Alex_Horn et al sheds light on a paradox: Why does inequality not fall under @UKLabour governments which are expressly committed to it?

Um eine Regierung der AfD in Sachsen-Anhalt zu verhindern, wird zum taktischen Wählen aufgerufen. Für @zeitonline schreibe ich, warum die Strategie der politischen Mitte in Ostdeutschland kurzfristig helfen mag, aber nicht ihre strukturellen Probleme löst.

Egalitarian governments insure the middle class and support the (working) poor while leaving top-end inequality largely untouched. They rhetorically embrace equality for all, soften market shocks, and avoid imposing fiscal costs on influential groups cambridge.org/core/journals/…

CDU/CSU betonten im Wahlkampf vor allem das Migrationsthema. Doch sowohl unter Wählern, die sich 2025 erneut für die Union entschieden, als auch unter Neuwählern sah nur eine Minderheit darin das wichtigste politische Problem. Stattdessen dominieren wirtschaftliche Themen. 1/3🧵

Incredibly happy to see my paper forthcoming in @QJEHarvard! I quantify how much of worldwide growth and poverty reduction can be accounted for by education over 1980-2019. A quick summary 1/9 👇

Our paper on parties' programmatic responses to inequality - and more often the lack of responses - will come out @apsrjournal !

🆕Social progress at the expense of #EconomicEquality?
@_Alex_Horn, @klueserthan & M. Haselmayer review a new dataset of 300,000 party statements to determine whether the Left have traded #EconomicEquality for #EqualRights & #EqualChances. 🤔
