Education and the Paradox of Perceived Discrimination
The authors identify a paradox of perceived discrimination whereby perceptions of discrimination among disadvantaged groups are lower when dominant group attitudes are more discriminatory. This article forwards an explanation for this phenomenon based on the asymmetric effects of education on dominant and disadvantaged groups. Using individual- and school-level European data, the authors argue that education decreases discriminatory attitudes whi…
Inclusion without Solidarity
Highly educated individuals tend to be less supportive of redistribution by most accounts because they have more to lose and less to gain from it. In this article, we use European Social Survey data to develop the argument that university education reduces support for redistribution in large part independently of the improved material circumstances with which it is associated. While university encourages a range of progressive ideas related to cu…
The politics of taxing multinational firms in a digital age
Taxing multinationals is politically difficult because of the structural power of mobile firms within the global economy, and this structural power is expected to increase in the digital age. Recently however there has been a breakdown in the international corporate tax consensus that structured tax competition over the past century. A new norm of international taxation has emerged whereby states claim the right to tax corporate income based on p…
Re-assessing the role of financial professionals in pension fund investment strategies
Funded pensions are now established components of most mature retirement income systems. The value of global pension fund assets is higher than ever before, and the way these assets are invested affects both the welfare of future retirees, and the performance of national economies. Recent research has identified systematic cross-national variation in the investment behaviour of pension funds, explaining it through the preferences and influence of…
Welfare state structure, inequality, and public attitudes towards progressive taxation
Recent research indicates that while higher tax levels are politically unpopular, greater tax progressivity is not. However, there remain unanswered questions regarding public support for more progressive taxation. In particular, little is known about how individual attitudes towards tax progressivity are affected by their institutional context. Building on existing theories of redistribution, this article develops the argument that the structure…
The Political Consequences of Outsider Labour Market Status in the United States
This article contributes to recent research that seeks to understand the political consequences of ‘outsider’ labour market status. There is an emerging consensus that labour market outsiders have systematically different policy preferences and display systematically different political behaviour to securely employed ‘insiders’ in Europe. Yet the political consequences of outsider status in the USA are less clear. They may be expected to differ f…
Institutional Mismatch, Party Reputation, and Industry Interests
Private-heavy welfare systems, in which low or moderate state benefits are topped up by private welfare arrangements, are expected to undermine political support for the extension of social rights and perpetuate benefit fragmentation over time. And where low state benefits are means tested, political support is expected to be particularly prone to erosion. In this article I develop the argument that the combination of private pensions and means-t…
Three paths to more encompassing supplementary pensions
In pension systems characterized by low or moderate state benefits, reliance on voluntary private pensions creates a dualism of access to adequate retirement income. This dualism is expected to persist over time. Yet while some private-heavy pension systems continue to rely on dualising voluntarism, since the 1980s most have introduced regulatory reforms to make private pensions more encompassing. This paper uses fuzzy-set Qualitative Comparative…
