My paper on perceptions of international inequality and demand for redistribution (aid) is now out @PSRMJournal. With a survey experiment in Kenya, I show that despite concerns about international inequality, it does not increase demand for aid. 🧵👇.

@anselmhager To be clear the dots just represent binned averages (~3h), we have over 1,000 respondents within 24h of the vote. This is the estimate of the effect. As mentioned, this holds for related outcomes, suggesting a consistent pattern.

The mid/long-term consequences of the taboo-breaking are highly uncertain: The election outcome in 2 weeks will depend on how parties can use the incident in their favor. Furthermore, the taboo-breaking might have been a test case for future collaborations with the far right. 4/5.

The change in voting propensities stands in contrast to heavy scrutiny of the CDU/CSU and widespread protests following the vote. However, the result holds across various specifications and for similar outcomes, and appears to go hand-in-hand with losses for the AfD. 2/5.

On Jan 29, Germany's CDU/CSU broke a longstanding taboo #Brandmauer by accepting votes from the far-right AfD. How did citizens respond? A preliminary analysis of an ongoing survey suggests that the conservatives might have actually benefited from their move! 1/5
