Super excited to see the second article from my dissertation published in @politicsgenderj.bsky.social Drawing on unique Norwegian data, I find the green gender gap already exists in early adolescence. Boys are less climate-concerned, less supportive of green policies and less likely to vote green.

The key implication: people have a general tendency to personal favoritism in professional selection, even in highly formalized bureaucracies. If autocrats can instrumentalize this tendency to select people who are in line with regime objectives, it stabilizes the regime instead of threatening it.
