Do policy preferences of voters and non-voters differ in European democracies? My new article in @ejprjournal.bsky.social finds: Yes, sometimes, but this is not the norm. Let's break it down. 🧵 1/10

Incredibly happy to share that I received funding through the FWO Odysseus program for the SOCIOVOTE project! Over the next five years, I’ll be examining how social groups think politically, and study the processes through which groups and group identities become politicized.

Campaign dynamics in Canadian elections are simply fascinating! 💫
Evolution of voting intentions according to polls conducted during the pre-campaign period of the 45th Canadian federal election, scheduled for October 2025. Trendlines are based on local regressions with 95% confidence ribbons.

The most recent polls show a dramatic surge for the Liberal party, putting them on par with the leading Conservatives.

Give researchers an observational dataset with no exo variation: you get more than one answer to a causal research question... and the answer is correlated with ideological priors 👇. Do results extend to an observational data with a plausibly exo variation (aka natural experiment)? Thoughts?

Here's a nice new paper from the fully blueskyless author team of Philip Moniz, Rodrigo Ramirez-Perez, Erin Hartman, and Stephen Jessee, showing that survey exp. effects are similar for "eager" and "reluctant" respondents, with positive implications for generalizability doi.org/10.1017/pan....
Table 1 An analysis of treatment effect heterogeneity. We conducted an omnibus test provided in the grf R package. We also compared the estimates among eager and NRFU respondents. Most studies show no statistically significant treatment effect heterogeneity in either test (Neither). Ten show evidence of heterogeneity using the omnibus test, but it is not driven by differences between eager and NRFU respondents (Omnibus Only). Two studies show no evidence using the omnibus test, but do display NRFU-specific heterogeneity (NRFU Only), and two others display both general and NRFU-specific effect heterogeneity (Both).Figure 2 Standardized ATEs among reluctant and eager respondents closely resemble each other. Points show estimated treatment effects estimated separately among eager and reluctant respondents, with 95% confidence interval bars. Solid line shows Deming regression fit and shaded region shows its block-bootstrapped 95% confidence region.
