Feelings of relative poverty engender political support among cash transfer recipients, while such feelings erode political support among non-beneficiaries. Last week on VoxDev, @kkosec @IFPRI & @ceciliamo @UCBerkeley outlined their research in Pakistan: ow.ly/RsXw50NhB4z

@ceciliamo @elizabethmelder @PNASNews Youth turnout has lagged behind older voters for generations. Our study examines one--potentially scalable--approach to address that pattern: voluntary national service programs. We find large effects.
