New paper out in the @thejop.bsky.social (w/ @christinagahn.bsky.social)
Do opinion polls shape election results?
Using both cross-national data and a survey experiment, the answer we find is yes - though it depends on how we communicate polling results.

Today in four weeks, Switzerland will vote on a far-right SVP initiative that demands a cap on the Swiss population of 10 million.
What is often misunderstood is that the initiative does not necessarily demand an end to immigration, but — even worse — the complete disenfranchisement of immigrants.
Excited to contribute to the teaching at @ecpr.bsky.social this year, with a short course on Causal Inference for Observational Data ✨

There was a Fidesz ideologue who once said, "What you call corruption is the essence of the system." Seems he was right but we're just learning by how much. The Integrity Authority estimates Orban's rule cost Hungary €160B(!) in corruption. That equals ~2/3 of 🇭🇺 GDP. www.ft.com/content/0c44...
💥Hungary's newly elected PM Péter Magyar, in his first speech, apologizes to victims of the Orbán government's smear campaigns and harassment, including NGOs and journalists. For 16 years, dozens if not hundreds of us had to endure our newsrooms being taken over, surveillance and pressure campaigns.

It’s time to share that I’ve decided to move to a new postdoc position. In July, I’ll join the team of @gessler.bsky.social at @uni-hamburg.de. In my almost 2 years in Vienna, I grew as a scholar and person, and I’m deeply grateful to the people at @stawi-univie.bsky.social who made this possible.
Soo, since yesterday I am officially PhDone! 😮🎓✨🥂
I’m incredibly grateful to my supervisors Sylvia Kritzinger & @markuswagner.bsky.social for their guidance & support in this journey, and to my wonderful committee @gessler.bsky.social & @chrisclaassen.bsky.social for the thoughtful discussion. 1/2
