Vulnerability outpaces climate worry in US frontline communities
Social strategies to engage video gamers in climate action
Gender, Development, and Recognition of Anthropogenic Climate Change
Strength in Small Numbers: Indigenous Political Participation in Latin America
How do Indigenous peoples across Latin America participate in politics and what explains it? More than 500 Indigenous groups have experienced repression and attempts at erasure. Still, Indigenous communities persist and are politically active. We argue that structural and institutional factors within democracy do not fully explain Indigenous political engagement: they miss important dynamics within communities, where activism is often locally foc…

A systematic literature review of math interventions across educational settings from early childhood education to high school
Early math skills lay the foundation for children’s long-term academic success. An increasing number of randomized controlled math interventions have been carried out across educational settings. The aim of the present systematic review was to identify the distribution of the randomized controlled math interventions conducted between 2001 and 2021 in educational settings across Early Childhood Education (ECE) up to high school among various sampl…
Triggering populist support in Europe: How internal political efficacy shapes the effect of economic vulnerability on party preferences
When and why do economic grievances result in support for populist parties? We address a long-standing puzzle in understanding populist voters. Existing studies have produced mixed results about how economic characteristics drive support for populist parties. We argue this is because scholars have overlooked the central importance of internal political efficacy, i.e., a belief in one’s ability to affect political outcomes. Using three pooled wave…
Political Trust and Ecological Crisis Perceptions in Developing Economies: Evidence from Ecuador
Could an individual's perception of the possibility of a future ecological crisis be linked to their level of political trust? Studies of environmental attitudes have identified political trust as an important predictor of support for environmental taxation or risk perceptions surrounding specific local environmental hazards, but less is known about its role when environmental risks are perceived as diffuse and distant. Using original survey data…
Long-Term Consequences of Early Parenthood

Diversity among Norwegian Boards of Directors: Does a Quota for Women Improve Firm Performance
Exploiting the Norwegian boards of directors’ quota reform of 2003, this study evaluates the impact of increased diversity on firm performance. Applying difference-in-difference approaches to accounting data covering the period 2003–07, the paper compares the return on assets for non-finance public limited companies (PLCs) and ordinary limited companies (LTDs), whereof only the former were affected by the reform. The impact of the reform on firm …
Why are So Few Females Promoted into CEO and Vice President Positions? Danish Empirical Evidence, 1997-2007
The authors estimate the probability of promotion into VP and CEO positions using employer-employee data from all Danish companies observed during the period 1997 to 2007. After controlling for a large number of firm and family-related variables, including take-up history of maternity and paternity leave and proxies for female-friendly companies, a considerable gap still occurs in the promotion probabilities for CEO positions. Part of the gap is …

At the Lower End of the Table: Determinants of Poverty among Immigrants to Denmark and Sweden
In this paper we study determinants of relative poverty among immigrants and natives in Denmark and Sweden during the 1980s and 1990s. Denmark and Sweden share the same properties in a range of labour-market and welfare-state characteristics. At the same time, they differ very much in cyclical profiles and immigration experiences during recent decades. Both countries have followed the same principles regarding immigration policy, i.e. immigration…
Do women in top management affect firm performance?A panel study of 2,500 Danish firms
Purpose This paper aims to examine the relationship between management diversity and firm performance in the case of women in top executive jobs and on boards of directors. Corporate governance literature argues that board diversity is potentially positively related to firm performance. This hypothesis is tested in the paper. Design/methodology/approach In this paper with the use of data for the 2,500 largest Danish firms observed during the peri…
