🚨 New Paper w/ @YoshikuniOno, conditionally accepted @PolBehavior 🎉 Why are elected officials often much older than voters? We use age manipulation software to uncover voters' age biases. Surprise: Voters (even older ones) like young candidates! 👦🏻👨🏻👴🏻 charlesmcclean.com/s/How-Do-Voter…

今年初の論文が公刊されました。若者は投票に行かないと言われますが、人生初の選挙では投票に行く確率が10%高くなることを示しました。投票率を1割も上げる要因は他に中々ないと思います。 (1/4) tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10…

On Thursday, I'll be @georgetownsfs for a conference, where I'll discuss why young voters have backed Takaichi and what this tells us about social change and politics in Japan. If you're in DC, hope you can join us! 📅 events.georgetown.edu/event/39482-ja…

I was quoted in @TheDispatch on Takaichi’s unusually strong support among younger voters — and what that meant for the LDP going into Japan’s snap election thedispatch.com/newsletter/mor…

This morning, I joined @KristiGovella and @nszechenyi at the @CSIS @JapanChair to discuss the outcome of Japan's snap election. The video is now posted if you’d like to watch: youtube.com/live/xF1F3JSM-…

HAPPENING IN 1 HR | Don’t miss our virtual event where @KristiGovella, @cmcclean, and @nszechenyi will break down the results of Japan's February 8 general election. 👉 Watch here: bit.ly/45HEAPT

I’ll be discussing the election results and what they mean on a @CSIS @JapanChair webcast tomorrow morning. Looking forward to the conversation.

既に各所で指摘されてるけど、自民党の比例区での伸びはそこまで大きくないです。 候補不足で失った13議席を加えたって80議席。それは例えば2005年の77議席と大して変わらない（↓のグラフ参照）。 「小選挙区マジック」の威力が分かりますね。

Takaichi's snap election gamble has clearly paid off. Snap elections tend to benefit incumbents — especially when opposition parties are caught off guard and the campaign period is particularly short. I've written about this dynamic before: journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/00…
