Dissertation:  "Risk Inequality. Social Policy and Polarization by Popular Demand"

 

Abstract: My dissertation offers a micro-founded account of social policy outputs and political polarization in rich democracies. It explores the determinants of social policy preferences and the impact of public opinion on political outcomes. By doing so it combines the usually disjoint literatures of the comparative political economy of industrialized countries and the behavioral research tradition.
