After a year (already?!) at @politikuhh.bsky.social I'll give my Antrittsvorlesung 21/10🎉 I'm shy about my current research as I had a baby just weeks after joining UHH and the year has been exhausting with both start-up- & new-parent-tasks. But, that's just all the more reason to celebrate! 1/

One measure I wanted to include is a 'social distance' measure - how unhappy people would be if offspring married someone who voted for a particular party. Those currently undecided are more likely to be unhappy with a child marrying a Reform UK voter than a Labour voter.

New paper @marcelhanegraaff.bsky.social @eaizenberg.bsky.social @bjpols.bsky.social Are firms more active lobbyists in Washington? Many theories in PoliSci suggest they are. But we find remarkable stability. The structure of business lobbying did not change much over the past 20y cup.org/4dykWuq

📚New paper with @jakobschwoerer.bsky.social @saengler.bsky.social in @prxjournal.bsky.social📚 We show that moving toward the far right on immigration doesn't benefit mainstream parties. Not even in elections where immigration is salient. www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

New paper in Nature. The more a government controls its domestic media, the more it dominates AI training data, the more pro-regime outputs we get from AI. By scraping the open web, LLMs are unwittingly laundering state-coordinated narratives into seemingly objective answers.

Updated my hikmah academic #QuartoPub templates to use Typst for both fancier PDFs and mansucripty APA-like PDFs! Still need to update the documentation and incorporate brand dot yaml better, but they're neat and work way faster and more reliably than LaTeX github.com/andrewheiss/...

1/ Tear gas was created to incapacitate grown men. So when I started seeing reports of kids hurt by tear gas deployed by federal immigration agents, I wondered how often it was happening. My colleagues and I started to count:
