🌍 Why do not all immigrant groups support progressive parties?
➡️ @korinlind.bsky.social & @antvalentim.bsky.social show immigrants from established democracies are more likely to back green parties than those from (post-)authoritarian regimes www.cambridge.org/core/journal... #FirstView

Very happy to see this paper with @korinlind.bsky.social out at @psrm.bsky.social !
We study immigrants’ support for progressive/green parties, showing how the regime they were socialized in and which issues were salient matters for party support after migration.
Link: doi.org/10.1017/psrm...
Our findings highlight how important it is to understand variation between different immigrant groups, besides contributing to the puzzle why progressive parties and candidates and their migration friendly platforms might not attract votes from all immigrant groups alike. (5/5)
We also show that immigrants from established democracies are those who are more green compared to non-immigrants, while immigrants from (post-)auth. contexts are not less green than non-immigrants. (4/5)
Using cross-national surveys, we show that this pattern is robust, that the salience of climate change and corresponding post-materialist attitudes are higher in established democracies than in (post-)auth. regimes. (3/5)
We descriptively document that immigrants from established democracies tend to be more supportive of the greens than those from (post-)auth. contexts. We argue that differences in the salience of green issues and post-materialist values across these contexts can help explain this pattern. (2/5)
Very happy to share that our paper "Political socialization and immigrants' support for progressive politics: the case of green parties" with @antvalentim.bsky.social is now published in @psrm.bsky.social!

Herzlichen Glückwunsch, Anna! Das sind tolle Neuigkeiten!
Congrats again, Thomas 🥳
I’m thrilled to share that I defended my dissertation on Monday! It examines how local elites help new parties attract voters and build local branches, using a unique dataset of ~450,000 local candidates in Germany.
It took not one but three villages to write this. A 🧵

It's really really frustrating to realize that many economists still don't know that political science exists.
Our study on public immigration misperceptions is out! Prior research overstated their prevalence due to flawed measurement. Our new approach separates real misperceptions from uninformed guessing — showing they’re less common than widely assumed and ideologically motivated.

Just published in @bjpols.bsky.social: @sergipardos.bsky.social and I show that inter-regional moves in pursuit of employment security reduce individual worries about immigration—a mobility pattern that, in the aggregate, reinforces spatial polarization in anti-immigration sentiment. cup.org/3XiB6yD
