In about a month, we submit our application for the ESFRI Roadmap 🇪🇺 Help us reach 1,000 researchers by showing your support here: forms.gle/dm8K4xFgXD9b... ⚙️ Regardless, we’re sure you’ll find MEDem’s tools & services useful once they’re live. We’re already working on first prototypes this year! 🏗️📊

Super excited to be part of the #TaDa Speaker Series presenting #ParlLawSpeech and how we use it in our own research together with @janschwalbach.bsky.social!

The most important thing to identify here is the strong inversed relationship between “conservative” (moderate) right and “hard” right. One might think that Conservative parties are a Trojan horse of far right success.

New data out for studying party politics and elections across levels in 21 democracies worldwide! 🗳️🧐🥳🤓😎 Check out our online data visualization tool, too: multi-level-cross-level-politics.eu And our data: doi.org/10.7910/DVN/...

ParlLawSpeech also provides high-quality translations of speeches from the European Parliament 🇪🇺 and the Hungarian National Assembly 🇭🇺 into English. Learn more on our website at ParlLawSpeech.org/data and the respective GitHub page (github.com/ChRauh/OPTED...).

We finally dropped #ParlLawSpeech! 🥳 Excited to see how this data and especially the links between documents will be used in the future! Check out ParlLawSpeech.org and keep us posted if you use the data!

🚨 #Data alert 📣 We just released #ParlLawSpeech – full texts of more than 40k bills, 28k laws, and 3 mio. parliamentary speeches from 7 countries (AT, CZ, DE, DK, ES, HR, HU) and the EU! If you study democracy with #TextAsData / #NLP methods, this is for you! A short 🧵 (1/3) #PoliSkyData #polisky

So happy to see #ParlLawSpeech out there after years of scraping, cleaning, validating... have a look at our website parllawspeech.org and keep us posted if you use the data (free access via @gesis.org here: doi.org/10.7802/2824)

Now available Open Access: 📰 Does (immigration) framing influence public opinion? 🧵 www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

Indeed. Fantastic speech. Just one minute and everything is said!

Excited to start my research visit @uva.nl in Amsterdam. Many thanks to @gijsschumacher.bsky.social for hosting me at the Hot Politics Lab! I will be around until the end of February and happy to discuss research or meet for a coffee! ☕️☀️

Dataset alert ⏰ We just uploaded the preprint for a novel dataset of German politicians' public broadcast interviews (around 100 interviews, 30 politicians, 28k sentences) sourced from YouTube & manually validated + speaker identification and timestamps, ready for re-use 👍 arxiv.org/pdf/2501.04484?

Pretty much exactly 80 years after the liberation of Auschwitz, the richest man in the world uses the Nazi salute at the inauguration of his close ally as US president. What should rationally not be surprising is still so deeply shocking and simply difficult to comprehend.

In a new working paper, @fghjorth.bsky.social and I show that party elites have significant power to shape group linkages through their rhetoric, suggesting that such linkages are more dynamic and elite-driven than suggested by predominant structural accounts. 🧵

Can't believe this wasn't a thing yet— 50 *women* in political economy I follow & you should too! 💡 Send me more! 🙋‍♀️ go.bsky.app/QFrdfh3

Coincidentally I’m en route to Cologne to present new research with @acalacino.bsky.social and @hayleypring.bsky.social that focuses precisely on oil spills in the midst of policy uncertainty during the Brexit negotiations. Thanks @chitbazoo.bsky.social for the invitation!

Great paper! But I don't recommend AI to my students. Don't forget the environmental and social damage #AI is doing, with production sites in low-regulatory, water-scarce areas, and bad labor conditions. This needs fixing. Good interview on the topic: www.sei.org/about-sei/pr...

In a new paper (open access!) with @gregoriobuzzelli.bsky.social , Brian Burgoon & Stefano Sacchi, using experimental data, we show that demands for EU-level unemployment protection is moderated by concerns with migration, technological change, & globalization. 1/4 www.cambridge.org/core/journal...

New article accepted at CPS. @denis-cohen.bsky.social @thmskrr.bsky.social and I analyze how rental market risk affects radical right support. Combining data on local rent increases with the SOEP, we find that individuals facing increasing local rents become more likely to support the AfD. 🧵

Structured surveys can collect comparable (but rigid) data from thousands of respondents Semi-structured interviews foster depth but only in small samples due to the human interviewer **AI Conversational Interviewing** may overcome this scale/depth trade-off arxiv.org/abs/2410.01824
