So excited to see this in print @LSQjournal! TLDR: I build a (simple) argument for when opposition core districts will receive similar constitution development funds as ruling party districts & show support using CDF data from Pakistan. For more, click below.

Why does opposition to gender quotas persist in young men? In @LSQjournal, @jeonghkim1 & @YesolaKweon find group threat strongly influences the formation of negative attitudes towards quotas, but these effects are not mediated by traditional gender norms. buff.ly/3Z5yGln

Which legislators prioritize pork? Using legislator survey data in Latin America & Western Europe, co-authored work by @schwindtbayer in @LSQJournal finds support for the clarity model: district magnitude is linked to less pork regardless of ballot type. buff.ly/3H4I5Tv

New paper at @LSQjournal together with @ckbreunig & @laurachaques. We show that some legislators become policy specialists, while others inquire on many policy issues. Instead of individual traits, institutional factors shape their behavior. @policyagendas onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/…

Check out this new @LSQjournal paper from @emilyommundsen. W/ a new measure of committee effectiveness, Emily demonstrates that Senate committee chairs would be better off if they retained experienced senior staff. Congrats Emily!
