Thrilled to share that @Carlsbergfondet has funded my 3-year project on how deliberative referendums can benefit representative democracy. Soon there will be a call for a PhD student and a postdoc joining the project. Stay tuned!

The disgraceful state of the Danish trains directly impacts universities like SDU where many employees are commuters. If people cannot rely on the trains, they will work more and more from home, leaving empty offices at university @omDSB @TRM_dk @SyddanskUni
Has anyone tried to get an invoice from @Prolific? I need to run an academic study, but I cannot get it. No answer from the Help Center. How am I supposed to conduct any studies if I don't get an invoice?

Questo editoriale su Lancet distrugge la sanità italiana in un suo aspetto cruciale: l’autonomia regionale. 20 regioni che operano attraverso politiche indipendenti producono scelte frammentate e inefficienti per il sistema nel suo complesso. Non solo, c’è anche un problema di trasparenza e disponibilità dei dati: l’autonomia si traduce nella difficoltà per chi fa ricerca di raccogliere i dati e compararli. Senza ricerca sui dati non può esserci valutazione delle politiche pubbliche. L’auspicio dell’editoriale è un’armonizzazione a livello nazionale, l’esatto opposto dell’autonomia differenziata. Non posso che concordare pienamente.

The miserable life of a #journal #editor! Should I write an editorial to remind everyone that the #academic community is based on a social contract of #reciprocity and #cooperation? You cannot submit dozens of papers a year and not #review anything in return! – at Pisogne, Lombardia

The election of Donald Trump is a dark day for reproductive healthcare, the rights of refugees and the future of our planet.
As we speak, people are being slaughtered in Gaza and Lebanon. Our demands on our governments have not changed: stop enabling genocide and end all arms sales to Israel.
We are a global movement, made up of all faiths and backgrounds, united in our opposition to racism and hatred. We will never abandon hope in a more equal, sustainable and peaceful world.

The value choice --materialism (inflation) or post-materialism (democracy)?

"Democracy is sustained when capacity of the state to redistribute incomes is moderate, so that control over office entails a stake that is neither too low, rendering competitive election inconsequential, nor too high, rendering parties unwilling to risk office in elections"
Why democracy, backsliding, or autocracy? Unabashedly, I think this model has exceptionally rich results. The introductory overview is intended to be self-explanatory without delving into the math. See papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.…

🚨 Just out in @PNASNews 🚨
Combining administrative registers and individual Twitter behavior among Danes, we show that multiple offline indicators predict online hostility:
Having many more criminal verdicts increase the likelihood of being hostile online.
But - against common stereotypes of online haters - so does having high school grades when you grew up. The reason: Hostility is about politics and those from an affluent background are much more likely to tweet about politics.
All in all, hostility is not just about algorithms and the features of online discussions. Individual offline dispositions matter too.
Thank you for another great collaboration to @stighebbelstrup and @boralexander1!

Lunedì aprono i centri italiani in Albania.
Costeranno almeno il QUADRUPLO per migrante di quanto sarebbero costati in Italia, faranno LE STESSE COSE che avrebbero fatto in Italia e, probabilmente, riporteranno QUASI TUTTI i migranti trattenuti in Italia.
"Even a forecaster with perfect knowledge of future demographic trends would have performed poorly over this period—worse even than one who simply guesses that each election will have a 50-50 partisan split"
Do demographic trends help predict the outcomes of US elections? We checked in our new @nberpubs paper "Pitfalls of Demographic Forecasts of US Elections" with Richard Calvo and Jesse Shapiro.

We will also benefit very much from having @LucasLeemann with us just for this session. Feel free to circulate to anyone interested.
🚨 Call for Papers 🚨

Another wonderful day with @omDSB. A journey of an hour between Odense and Copenhagen delayed by more than an hour. How can you convince people to take trains when they are slow, very expensive and even late? #greentransition #dsb #betterwalk
34% of survey professionals on Lucid. That sounds a lot to me even if "professionals do not distort inferences of research based on online panels"
🚨Have you ever worried about respondents in your online panels who take many other online surveys and tasks daily? I will present a paper at #APSA2024 measuring the prevalence of these professionals and investigating their effects on the quality of online panels. Quick 🧵
