Do mobile EU citizens receive equal treatment when accessing welfare information? In a new study in @eupthejournal.bsky.social, @evathomann.bsky.social, Anita Manatschal, Xavier Fernández-i-Marín and I analyze how street-level-bureaucrats respond to requests from mobile EU citizens.
📢 New publication in the JCMS: Journal of Common Market Studies
Why do some actors trust EU regulatory agencies more than others? In a new article, I examine trust in the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) using survey data from stakeholders across nine European countries.
Amongst other things, we argue that election management bodies can (and should) be understood as regulatory institutions. Just as some regulators oversee finance, energy, or food safety, EMBs regulate democratic competition 👍
New from @janagomezdiaz.bsky.social and I 😀
We explore the determinants of citizens' trust in their election management bodies. Mainly, we find that - across LATAM - it is much higher when EMBs are formally insulated from executive and partisan interference. journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/...
New from me in @electoralstudies.bsky.social! Across municipalities (🇲🇽), more incidents of political violence lead to more invalid voting — a form of protest. But more so in tight elections, where the protest can be more effective. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...
My first thesis article has been published in @reggovjournal.bsky.social 📢 In this original article, we (Heidi Salomonsen, Anna Pikos, Edoardo Guaschino and I) examine the relationship between contact frequency, media coverage, and stakeholder trust in regulatory agencies.
Here’s an awesome new paper from @janagomezdiaz.bsky.social et al. in Regulation & Governance: “The Formation of Stakeholders' Trust in Regulatory Agencies.”

Never thought I’d be invited to speak at a Rotary club in Mexico but hey! 😃
Gracias! 🙌🏽
Proud to have been there at the start of Popscope, way back in the Ottawa days 🙂🔭
👩🦰Do women politicians address violence against women more effectively?
➡️Using data from Mexico and an RDD, @marco-alcocer.bsky.social R. Skillman & @angietorres.bsky.social find fewer female and young female homicides in municipalities led by women www.cambridge.org/core/journal... #FirstView
When asked which country is the most important ally to their own, many people around the world name the United States. This is the most common response in 12 of the 24 non-U.S. countries included in a new Pew Research Center survey. It is tied for the top response in three additional countries. But others say the U.S. is their nation’s greatest threat. This is the most common response in six countries and tied for top in two others. In neighboring Canada and Mexico, as well as in Argentina, Brazil and Kenya, the U.S. is the top response on both the ally and threat questions.
Most people in Mexico and Canada say the United States is their country's greatest threat

💥 Happy to share this new paper with Koen Verhoest in Public Management Review @pmreview.bsky.social !
What conditions contribute to building trust in services with high levels of opacity, information asymmetries, and vulnerable users?

Also, something awesome from my long time UPF office-mate 😉
Very much enjoyed this! Congrats, @jonaswschmid.bsky.social!
This is great. It is also immediately disappointing that Ovechkin openly supports Putin, and that Gretzky openly supports Trump.
Heeey! Felicidades!!! Súper interesante 👍
