Theresa Hager, Patrick Mellacher & Magdalena Rath introduce a theoretical model of the intrahousehold division of labor influenced by gender norms. Agents are connected through explicitly modeled social networks and thus face heterogeneous gender norms. www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

Gender Norms and Network Structure: A Model of the Intrahousehold Division of Labor

This study presents a bargaining model with endogenous gender norms. Agents are heterogeneous in their wage rates and preferences but seek to conform to the behavior of their social reference group...

Das Absurde ist, dass die meisten trotzdem am 1.1. eine Nettolohnerhöhung bekommen werden (Abschaffung der kalten Progression). Nur: wer mehr Steuern zahlt, erhält (auch prozentuell) mehr. Wer weniger Geld hat, hat im Schnitt eine höhere Konsumquote und ist stärker von der Inflation betroffen!

Auf meine Studie angesprochen, fragte Fr. Belakowitsch gestern im #ORFreport nach den Zahlen zum Zusammenhang zwischen FPÖ Wahlergebnis und Covid-19 Sterblichkeit. Ich liefere diese gerne hier nach. 🧵 Etwas ältere Zahlen mit deutlich detaillierten Analysen hier: sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Signifikanter Zusammenhang zwischen FPÖ-Anteil bei den Nationalratswahlen 2019 und der kumulierten Anzahl an Todesfällen pro 100,000 EW am 29.6.2023

Zusammenhang zwischen FPÖ-Anteil bei den Nationalratswahlen 2019 und der kumulierten Anzahl an Todesfällen pro 100,000 EW im Zeitverlauf. In der Winterwelle 2020/21 kommt es zu einer starken Divergenz und jene Bezirke, in denen die FPÖ stark ist, verzeichnen mehr Todesfälle pro 100,000 Einwohnern.

Vor dem Corona-Schwenk der FPÖ war der Zusammenhang zwischen FPÖ-Anteil bei den Nationalratswahlen 2019 und der kumulierten Anzahl an Todesfällen pro 100,000 EW negativ.

📢New working paper 📢 Spatial voting models have a long and rich history (1929!), but usually assume that voters' ideological preferences stay constant. Leonie Geyer and I have developed a model where voters' opinions are influenced by other voters, as well as the party that they currently support.

This is a screenshot of the abstract of a new working paper called "Simulating Party Competition in Dynamic Voter Distributions" by Leonie Geyer and Patrick Mellacher.

Surpassed 100 google scholar citations. Thank you to all of those who have helped me along this journey. In particular I want to highlight the two physicists who invented time travel just to go back to 1996 to cite our 2024 paper. Feeling honored!
