Very interesting new evidence on intergenerational mobility and anti-system support using Diagonal Reference Models. Great paper by Andrew McNeil (@ucl) in @SASE_Meeting's Socio-Economic Review. academic.oup.com/ser/advance-ar…

Very excited that my paper with @SattlersThomas is now published in @AJPS_Editor. We contribute to a big controversial debate: Does austerity fuel populism? Our answer: Yes, it does especially among the most vulnerable part of the workforce. Enjoy it! onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/aj…
