I asked a (brilliant female) colleague about the apparent gender gap in AI uptake in our field and she suggested that it was driven by women being more likely to be judged as incompetent if they use AI. This resume study suggests, sadly, that she may be correct codeforgoodnow.com/wp-content/u...

New paper out in the @thejop.bsky.social (w/ @christinagahn.bsky.social) Do opinion polls shape election results? Using both cross-national data and a survey experiment, the answer we find is yes - though it depends on how we communicate polling results. www.journals.uchicago.edu/doi/10.1086/...

Image showing the abstract of the paper "Self-Fulfilling Prophecies at the Voting Booth" by Werner Krause and Christina Gahn, published in the Journal of Politics. The abstract describes a quasi-experimental study across 25 countries finding that parties polling just below electoral thresholds are approximately 45 percentage points less likely to clear them, and that this effect diminishes when voters are informed about polling uncertainty.

There was a Fidesz ideologue who once said, "What you call corruption is the essence of the system." Seems he was right but we're just learning by how much. The Integrity Authority estimates Orban's rule cost Hungary €160B(!) in corruption. That equals ~2/3 of 🇭🇺 GDP. www.ft.com/content/0c44...

Today in four weeks, Switzerland will vote on a far-right SVP initiative that demands a cap on the Swiss population of 10 million. What is often misunderstood is that the initiative does not necessarily demand an end to immigration, but — even worse — the complete disenfranchisement of immigrants.

💥Hungary's newly elected PM Péter Magyar, in his first speech, apologizes to victims of the Orbán government's smear campaigns and harassment, including NGOs and journalists. For 16 years, dozens if not hundreds of us had to endure our newsrooms being taken over, surveillance and pressure campaigns.

There's lots of people more affected by yday's news but seeing Orbán concede has been a dream for me since I moved to Hungary to study in 2013 & I was not confident I'd see this happen. I have lots of reservations about Magyar but I'll remember yesterday as a day of joy. Reading recommendations⏬

For years, but especially in the last few months, I have been trying hard to imagine what it will feel like seeing Orban decisively defeated. I just couldn't. And yet here we are: it is truly and well over. I have more reservations about Peter Magyar than I could say in 300 characters or a thread...

Voting in Hungary is underway. Opposition leader Péter Magyar, leading in polls, has cast his vote. Turnout at 7am is 3.46%—a record, twice as high as 4 years ago. Early data shows opposition areas overperforming, while Fidesz strongholds are lagging. Follow me for updates on the #HungaryElection
