Capitalism and Femicide: An Empirical Inquiry
This study investigates the claim that capitalism (or neoliberal reforms) is associated with higher rates of femicide, which is often identified as an outcome of the capitalist exploitation of women in parts of the feminist literature. Employing a panel of 163 countries observed between 1990 and 2023, we find no significantly positive relationship between the Economic Freedom of the World index and different measures that approximate the concept …
Will the real populists please stand up? A machine learning index of party populism
The existing literature on populism has seen numerous attempts to empirically quantify this somewhat ambiguous concept. Despite notable advances, continuous measures of populism with a clear theoretical background and a considerable coverage are still hard to come by. This paper proposes a novel approach to measuring party populism by combining several different expert-surveys via supervised machine learning techniques. Employing the random fores…
TV Consumption Patterns and the Impact of Media Freedom on Political Trust and Satisfaction with the Government
This paper empirically assesses the impact of media freedom on citizen's trust in politicians and satisfaction with national governments. Restrictions potentially allow governments to provide citizens with biased information, which may then increase trust in, and satisfaction with, ruling elites. Yet, these restrictions may also be perceived as a signal that the latter are not trustworthy. Employing data from the European Social Survey to compare…
The institutional foundations of surf break governance in Atlantic Europe
The sport of surfing is best enjoyed with one rider on one wave, but crowding makes that optimal assignment increasingly hard to attain. This study examines the phenomenon of surf localism, whereby competitors are excluded from waves by intimidation and the threat of violence. An alternative way to accommodate crowds is contained in the surfer’s code, which sets informal rules and self-enforced regulations to avoid conflict in the water. Both reg…
Radical Distrust: Are Economic Policy Attitudes Tempered by Social Trust
Regime types and regime change: A new dataset on democracy, coups, and political institutions
Social scientists have created a variety of datasets in recent years that quantify political regimes, but these often provide little data on phases of regime transitions. Our aim is to contribute to filling this gap, by providing an update and expansion of the Democracy-Dictatorship data by Cheibub et al. ( Public Choice, 143 , 67–101, 2010 ), originally introduced by Alvarez et al. ( Studies in Comparative International Development, 31 (2), 3–36…
Crisis, Ideology, and Interventionist Policy Ratchets
Proper government reaction to economic crisis has long been a central element of public policy debate and is experiencing a revival after the Great Recession of 2008. Previous studies argue on theoretical and empirical grounds that crises may lead to more interventionist policies, but also cause deregulation and liberalization. This article claims that policy responses will partly depend on the core economic ideology of government, causing ideolo…
Does Fiscal Federalism Deter or Spur Secessionist Movements? Empirical Evidence from Europe
Popular and scientific contributions often call for increased regional decision-making power to manage secessionist conflict, assuming that fiscally federalized countries are less prone to disintegrate politically. From a theoretical standpoint this is not clear though, as federalism creates an institutional paradox where autonomous legislative and bureaucratic structures can potentially be used to make secessionism a viable strategy in the first…
