Structural and cyclical unemployment and redistribution support in Europe: The Moderating Role of Welfare State Size
The Use of Multilevel Models in Analysing Contextual Effects of Labour Force Participation Rate on Redistribution Support with Comparative Longitudinal Survey Data
This article studies the links between a country's labour force par ticipation rate and attitudes towards income redistribution.The article also demonstrates how to specify a multilevel model when analysing contextual effects and it presents several types of random effects structures and options for centering explanatory variables in comparative longitudinal survey data.The contextual effect is decomposed into longitudinal and crosssectional comp…
Policy instruments attitudes and support for government responses against Covid‐19
An individual's political attitudes have been documented as the most important predictor of acceptance of government measures against the COVID‐19 pandemic. Their effect, however, is somewhat unclear and cannot be reduced to one dimension. In this article, we test whether general attitudes toward policy instruments might, together with left–right orientation, authoritarianism, social liberalism, and attitudes to state intervention, explain attitu…
The Polls—Trends
Income redistribution and changes in redistributive policies are highly contested issues that often have a bearing on societal debate and electoral competition. Using European Social Survey data, we trace trends in public attitudes toward income redistribution in 18 European countries from 2002 to 2019, a time period which included the Great Recession, the 2015 migrant crisis, and an increase in income inequality. Although attitudes toward income…
One hammer for all nails? Testing the autonomy of policy instrument attitudes
Policy design is influenced by stakeholders' attitudes and contextual constraints. While the latter factor is highly variable, attitudes toward policy instruments are deemed more stable across both policy domains and time. This article uses evidence from a cross‐sectional survey of Czech university students to examine the autonomy of policy instrument attitudes (APIA) in five policy domains. Only 16% of students endorse a small set of universal i…
Decision makers’ preferences of policy instruments
The article empirically tests the theoretical propositions on instrument choice articulated by Linder and Peters and their followers. It examines whether decision makers tend to prefer some policy instruments over others, what the patterns of these preferences are, and how they can be explained. Using a survey of Czech ministerial and regional public officials involved in strategic policymaking ( N = 1,112), the findings confirm that individuals …
Perceptions of Income Inequality and Preferences Regarding Income Distribution in the Czech Republic
A representative survey of adult population is used to analyse perceptions of existing income inequality and preferences for ideal income distribution in the Czech Republic. On average, Czechs view the distribution of disposable income as more unequal than it actually is. This biased perception results from underestimating total income shares belonging to bottom quintiles and overestimating the total income share belonging to the top income quint…
