  • Fertility Dynamics across High‐Income Countries in a New Era of Polycrisis

    Open AccessSamuel Plach, A Aassve et al.ARTICLEPopulation and Development Review2026

    The COVID‐19 pandemic opened a polycrisis of interrelated disruptions and compounding economic and subjective uncertainty that likely shaped fertility in high‐income countries, especially in its second phase, in which the Ukraine war was a major source and amplifier of uncertainty. Yet fertility evidence remains largely limited to the pandemic. We estimate monthly “excess” total fertility rates (TFRs) and find that declines compared to projected …

  • Migrant Deaths at Borders and Immigration Attitudes

    Open AccessNicolò Cavalli, Effrosyni CharitopoulouARTICLESocius Sociological Research for…2025References: 40

    Does exposure to migrant death alter immigration-related public opinion? Scholarship has extensively demonstrated the impact of events on attitudes toward immigrants and immigration. In doing so, however, focus has almost exclusively been placed on events that pose a direct threat to ingroup members. The authors extend this line of research to further comprehend the formative basis of the said attitudes by focusing on events that uncover the thre…

  • Covid-19 Policy Interventions and Fertility Dynamics in the Context of Pre-Pandemic Welfare Support

    Open AccessSamuel Plach, A Aassve et al.ARTICLEPopulation and Development Review2024Cited by: 7References: 40

    This paper focuses on nonpharmaceutical interventions (NPIs) to explain fertility dynamics during the pandemic, while considering countries' institutional context. We argue that containment policies disrupted people's lives and increased their uncertainty more in countries with weak welfare support systems, while health-related and economic support NPIs mitigated such disruptions much more there, as they were less expected by citizens. We estimat…

  • Early assessment of the relationship between the Covid-19 pandemic and births in high-income countries

    Open AccessA Aassve, Nicolò Cavalli et al.ARTICLEProceedings of the National…2021

    Drawing on past pandemics, scholars have suggested that the COVID-19 pandemic will bring about fertility decline. Evidence from actual birth data has so far been scarce. This brief report uses data on vital statistics from a selection of high-income countries, including the United States. The pandemic has been accompanied by a significant drop in crude birth rates beyond that predicted by past trends in 7 out of the 22 countries considered, with …

  • Exposure to Common Enemies can Increase Political Polarization

    Eaman Jahani, Natalie M Gallagher et al.PREPRINT2020

    Longstanding theory indicates the threat of a common enemy can mitigate conflict between members of rival groups. We tested this hypothesis in a pre-registered experiment where 1,670 Republicans and Democrats in the United States were asked to complete a collaborative online task with an automated agent or “bot” that was labelled as a member of the opposing party. Prior to this task, we exposed respondents to primes about a) a common enemy (invol…
