While recent studies have examined how economic shocks arising from trade competition affect voting results at the aggregate level, we know little about the individual-level mechanisms that bring such effects about. In this contribution, we use long-term individual-level panel data to study the...

This paper aims to explain the rise and fall of communism by exploring the interplay between economic incentives and social preferences in different economic systems. We introduce inequality-averse and inefficiency-averse agents responding to economic incentives and transmitting their ideology...

This study explores how researchers’ analytical choices affect the reliability of scientific findings. Most discussions of reliability problems in science focus on systematic biases. We broaden the lens to emphasize the idiosyncrasy of conscious and unconscious decisions that researchers make...
