Christoffer H. Dausgaard

I've defended my PhD! 🎉 ...back in November. I never quite got around to posting about it, but here we are! The full thesis is available on my website: chdausgaard.github.io Two of its four articles will soon be out in the AJPS and JOP. 1/

You and whose economy? Group-based retrospection in economic voting by Christoffer Hentzer Dausgaard is now available in Early View. @chdausgaard ajps.org/2026/03/20/you…

@JJSogaard @AJPS_Editor Mange tak! Du kan tilgå en fuld un-gated version i min afhandling, der er offentligt tilgængelig: chdausgaard.github.io/uploads/phd-th…

@chdausgaard @AJPS_Editor Tillykke. Og meget, meget interessant forskning. Artiklen er åbenbart for ny til at jeg kan finde den på kb.dk, så tak for en opsummering.

Very excited that the first paper of my PhD is out in @AJPS_Editor! 🎉 I theorize and test the idea of "group-based" economic voting using experimental + observational evidence from Denmark + UK + US. 1/🧵

@ThorningMichael Thanks a lot! I’m glad you’re making that connection — this was very much a motivation for the paper :) (and the overall topic of my PhD thesis: chdausgaard.github.io/uploads/phd-th…)

@chdausgaard Seems like a great contribution and maybe helps explain one of the unanswered questions from Achen and Bartels: we know voters are group identity motivated, but do we know how they form those identities and how they effectuate them in political activity?

@HFerrinhoLopes @edenhofer_jacob @AJPS_Editor Thanks!

@chdausgaard @edenhofer_jacob @AJPS_Editor Congrats!

@edenhofer_jacob @GregoryEady @AJPS_Editor Thanks!

@chdausgaard @GregoryEady @AJPS_Editor Congratulations

This matters because it suggests voters are only conditionally sociotropic. It also means the economy may play a bigger role in things like the rise of populism than studies focusing on standard economic variables have found. Full paper: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/aj… /end

A key finding: effects are driven by how the group performs relative to the national economy. Voters don't just dislike unequal growth in general. They dislike it when their group is on the losing end, and they support it when their group benefits. 5/

@ProfPersson Tusind tak Mikael! I'll see if I have a spare copy!

@chdausgaard Congratulations! Send a copy to Gothenburg if you have any left!

@NathanpmYoung yeah list experiments are cool! but also have many issues and are harder to implement in surveys than they seem.

all men adore mechanism design

I don't know mens or women's preferences and wish we had large well-designed surveys with the kind of tricks we use to get answers out of poeple under dictatorships in order to find out the actual answers.

@HeSBK Marginalomkostningen for at få dét spørgsmål oveni en eksisterende meningsmåling er næppe over 1000kr.

@chdausgaard Hvor dyrt er det at bestille en meningsmåling for at få svar på samme spørgsmål som fra 1. marts?

Fyi er der ikke målt på det samme spørgsmål her: 1. marts (Verian): "Hvor enig eller uenig er du i, at det er en god idé at indføre en formueskat målrettet til de rigeste danskere (top 1%)?" 16. marts (Megafon): "Der bør indføres en formueskat for de rigeste danskere"

@NikoArve @pelledragsted Jeg kunne heller ikke finde den nogen steder, men Hans var sød at dele den :)

@chdausgaard @pelledragsted Hvor kan du se Megafons præcise formulering? Jeg kan kun finde en meget kort nyhed om målingen i TV2s newsfeed

@chdausgaard Gode pointer! En del forskning viser også, at folk ikke aner, hvad "de rigeste" indebærer, hvilket taler for, at præcisering af de rigeste 1% betyder noget (e.g. journals.uchicago.edu/doi/full/10.10…)

@EngdalMatias Ja præcis! Stor forskel på mentale billeder af "de rigeste" og "top 1%"

@mvinaes @hansersej Det er jo det han er!

@chdausgaard @hansersej Hans er sej!

Er der nogen der ligger inde med spørgsmålsformuleringerne på disse? TV2 skriver selv på deres liveblog at "spørgsmålene i de to meningsmålinger ikke er helt enslydende" uden flere detaljer. Tror man skal passe på med at udlede for meget om store holdningsændringer her.
