New OSF preprint with @luissattelmayer.bsky.social 🦋: "Issue Competition on Social Media. A new comparative dataset on parties' issue agendas in 18 countries."
We introduce a dataset of party issue agendas built from 4.6M social media posts across Twitter/Facebook/Instagram, covering 219 parties.
We are hiring a tenure track (!) senior researcher in political economy!
This is obviously a great job (permanent without teaching obligation) and I hope you all apply.
However, I would like to take a moment to share just how significant this is in the German academic context ⬇️
A reminder that applications for this 3-year fully funded PhD position close at the end of next week (May 17).
This is a great opportunity to work on climate politics comparative politics in a vibrant environment, with loads of freedom to develop your own project.

Indépendamment des qualités des dits experts, que le gouvernement demande à des économistes de dire quelle politique budgétaire mener est une mauvaise idée.

This is a very good intro article to a very cool special issue on asset struggles.
🧵 with some wild facts such as:
“Renewables-plus-storage is so cheap that in large parts of the world it is cheaper to build a whole new clean power plant than just pay for the fuel and maintenance for a fully-depreciated gas generator.”
Updated my plots for the evolution of the CO2-intensity of GDP for OECD plus other large economies and emitters.
Since 1990, CO2-intensity has declined in most major economies (points below the 45° line). Exceptions here are Saudi & Indonesia. Scroll down for the big ones, India and China.
