- Mayors, especially those on the centre and left, prefer to form coalition governments with parties led by women.

- Avui hem parlat dels pubs. www.3cat.cat/3cat/la-cult...
- Governments with a large electoral margin can implement austerity and survive. Austerity increases votes for non-mainstream, often populist, parties among economically vulnerable voters because austerity magnifies rather than alleviates social risks www.annualreviews.org/content/jour...
- Lijphart's idea that compulsory voting is a perfect antidote to the lack of electoral power of less-educated citizens, therefore, is not supported by the data www.cambridge.org/core/journal...
- Voters are not substantially better represented than nonvoters. However, people active in different types of nonelectoral political behavior, such as demonstrating, are better represented than the non-active link.springer.com/article/10.1...
- Ignorance helps avoid the psychological dissonance that awareness of vote inefficacy would create. If voters became consciously aware that their votes don’t matter, they would face both psychological discomfort and weakened participation incentives doi.org/10.1007/s111...
- Avui, a La Setamana Tràgica, hem reflexionat sobre una política pública que ben aviat pot arribar a casa nostra. Prohibir les xarxes als menors de 16 anys: el model australià es pot replicar a altres països? www.3cat.cat/3cat/prohibi... #SuplementCatRàdio
- When Spanish mayors are left-wing, far-right parties tend to benefit electorally. This is driven by a backlash effect: a shift in voter ideology towards the right doi.org/10.1017/S000...
- Proportional representation enhances party control over individual legislators and reduces incentives for personal vote-seeking via speech-making onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...
- Elite democratic defenders are effective if they are perceived to be politically impartial and perceived to have embedded knowledge doi.org/10.1080/1351...
- Improving people’s feelings about opposing partisans (versus members of their own party) has no measurable effect on people’s intentions to share true news, false news, or the difference between them, known as discernment journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10....
- I l’obsessió del PIB. La Setmana Tràgica d’aquest diumenge. www.3cat.cat/3cat/leconom...
- All political parties, regardless of type or ideology, engage with the non-electoral field, showing a greater tendency to express support for protests they agree with, rather than to criticise those they oppose, in their social media posts journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10....
- It always surprises me how many PhD and master students never attend seminars. How are they supposed to learn? When I was one, I forced myself to attend at least one session a week. One of the most critical academic decisions I ever made.

- Això és greu. La comunitat politològica catalana estava orgullosa d'un CEO que s'adheria a estàndards moderns i de transparència. Dir "les estimacions es fan sense codi" crea la idea que la cuina (pública) és ciència infusa i no un procediment reproduïble i auditable (1/2) elmon.cat/politica/opa...
- Sense codi no hi ha transparència; sense transparència, no hi ha confiança. No és un detall tècnic, és una qüestió de credibilitat institucional. Deixem de fer el cranc. Si volem dades públiques creïbles, cal metodologia oberta i traçable (2/2)
- Informing people that the superrich pay lower total tax rates than other people not only increases support for raising taxes on the rich but also lowers support for taxing the middle class www.cambridge.org/core/journal...

- Wealthier voters respond more strongly to their perceptions of the economy. Lower-income voters may assign less weight to their more negative economic evaluations, possibly due to political alienation www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...
- Populists and socialists are more likely than other politicians to come from lower-class families, and social democrats to have less educated parents. Yet both groups are just as likely to have highly educated and higher class friends and partners journals.sagepub.com/doi/abs/10.1...

- 🌍🔥 Does showing people the future of climate change, whether dire or hopeful, actually change their willingness to act or pay for solutions?
- Últim La Setmana Tràgica de l'any. Hem parlat dels centres de dades a l'espai 🚀 Ens retrobem al #SuplementCatRàdio l'any que ve! www.3cat.cat/3cat/la-ia-e...
