  • Wealth and the economic vote : How assets and liabilities shape election outcomes
  • 2021
  • Doktorsavhandling (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
    • This thesis contributes to the literature on economic voting, especially the subfield of the electoral impact in relation to wealth. The thesis consists of an introductory chapter and four independent research articles based on data from Sweden. Based on the first article, I find that the support for right-wing parties decreases in areas where voters are heavily invested in financial assets when there is a large amount of volatility in the world markets. Such patterns suggest that voters are responsive to financial risks. Through the second study, I illustrate that voters are sensitive to changes in monetary policies as well. More precisely, I show that voters tend to reward governments for decreases in interest rates. With the third study, I investigate the interplay of markets in a more direct way, estimating the effect of unemployment on voting in relation to household wealth. I find that the Swedish left-wing parties gain electoral advantage when the unemployment rates rise in less wealthy areas but that they lose support where voters are comparatively well-off. Finally, based on the fourth study, I investigate whether wealth has an impact on how voters behave with individual level data. The findings in this study suggest that wealthy citizens vote for right-wing parties to a grater extent. However, the estimated effect is small.

  • Granting Immigrants the Right to Vote in National Elections : Empirical Evidence from Swedish Administrative Data
  • 2024
  • Ingår i: British Journal of Political Science. - : Cambridge University Press. - 0007-1234 .- 1469-2112.
  • Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
    • Faced with rising levels of cross-border migration, many countries have extended local voting rights to non-citizen residents. However, empirical evidence indicates that voter turnout among non-naturalized immigrants is lower when compared to citizens. This raises the question of how to explain this difference. A common answer is that the low turnout rates of non-citizen residents are primarily due to the socio-economic composition of this group and the challenges involved in adapting to a new political system. An alternative but less discussed possibility is that the low turnout concerns the nature of the elections. Hence, we examine whether the turnout of non-citizens is hampered because they are only allowed to partake in local elections. Based on a regression discontinuity design (RDD) using Swedish administrative data, we find that turnout could increase by 10-20 percentage points if the voting rights of non-citizens were extended to the national level.

  • Parents, Peers, and Politics : The Long-term Effects of Vertical Social Ties
  • 2020
  • Ingår i: Quarterly Journal of Political Science. - : NOW PUBLISHERS INC. - 1554-0626 .- 1554-0634. ; 15:2, s. 221-253

    • We examine how one's adult political participation is affected by having social ties to a politician during adolescence. Specifically, we estimate the long-term effect of having had a classmate during upper secondary school whose parent was running for office on future voter turnout and the likelihood of running for and winning political office. We use unique Swedish population-wide administrative data and find that students in school classes with a larger number of politically active parents are more politically active as adults, both in terms of voting and political candidacy. Our results suggest that the effect of vertical social ties is predominantly mediated by indirect links between the politician and the student via the children of politicians. Moreover, we show that the strength of these mobilizing effects depends on the individual's basic predisposition to engage in different types of political activities.

  • Effects of Settlement into Ethnic Enclaves on Immigrant Voter Turnout
  • 2022
  • Ingår i: Journal of Politics. - : University of Chicago Press. - 0022-3816 .- 1468-2508. ; 84:1, s. 578-584
  • Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
    • What is the effect of residing in ethnic enclaves on immigrants’ future political participation? We study a comprehensive refugee placement reform that was implemented in Sweden in the mid-1980s in combination with unique individual-level turnout data to study the causal effect of being settled in neighborhoods with a high residential concentration of coethnics on immigrants’ future probability of voting. We find little evidence that ethnic concentration per se affects voter turnout. On average, newly arrived immigrants were equally likely to vote whether they were placed in a neighborhood with many or few coethnics. Further analyses, however, indicate that the effect of ethnic concentration depends on the degree of political integration among previously settled coethnics; ethnic concentration increases turnout among the newly immigrated when they are placed with already politically integrated coethnics. These results underscore the conditions under which the political socialization of immigrant newcomers is enhanced in ethnic enclaves.

  • Birth Order and Voter Turnout
  • 2022
  • Ingår i: British Journal of Political Science. - : Cambridge University Press. - 0007-1234 .- 1469-2112. ; 52:1, s. 475-482
  • Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
    • Previous studies have stressed the role of a child's family environment for future political participation. This field of research has, however, overlooked that children within the same family have different experiences depending on their birth order. First-borns spend their first years of life without having to compete over their parents' attention and resources, while their younger siblings are born into potential rivalry. We examine differences in turnout depending on birth order, using unique population-wide individual level register data from Sweden and Norway that enables precise within-family estimates. We consistently find that higher birth order entails lower turnout, and that the turnout differential with respect to birth order is stronger when turnout is lower. The link between birth order and turnout holds when we use data from four other, non-Nordic countries. This birth order effect appears to be partly mediated by socio-economic position and attitudinal predispositions.

  • Candidate Supply Is Not a Barrier to Immigrant Representation : A Case-Control Study
  • 2021
  • Ingår i: American Journal of Political Science. - : Wiley. - 0092-5853 .- 1540-5907. ; 65:3, s. 683-698
  • Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
    • Immigrants are underrepresented in most democratic parliaments. To explain the immigrant-native representation gap, existing research emphasizes party gatekeepers and structural conditions. But a more complete account must consider the possibility that the representation gap begins at the supply stage. Are immigrants simply less interested in elected office? To test this explanation, we carried out an innovative case-control survey in Sweden. We surveyed elected politicians, candidates for local office, and residents who have not run; stratified these samples by immigrant status; and linked all respondents to local political opportunity structures. We find that differences in political ambition, interest, and efficacy do not help explain immigrants' underrepresentation. Instead, the major hurdles lie in securing a candidate nomination and being placed on an electable list position. We conclude that there is a sufficient supply of potential immigrant candidates, but immigrants' ambition is thwarted by political elites.

  • Early voting can widen the turnout gap : The case of childbirth
  • 2024
  • Ingår i: Electoral Studies. - : Elsevier. - 0261-3794 .- 1873-6890. ; 90
  • Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
    • Early voting procedures boost voter participation and have therefore been suggested as institutional remedies for the problem of unequal turnout. Scholars have, however, raised concerns that making voting more convenient may actually lead to a less representative electorate. We contribute to this debate by leveraging large-scale Swedish registry data to analyze persons expecting a child around the time of the election. Our results indicate that politically engaged high-status voters are more likely to use the opportunity to vote in advance when faced with the risk of not being able to vote on election day. Given the large number of obstacles to election-day voting that individuals face throughout life, it is therefore conceivable that efforts to make voting more convenient and less costly for citizens may in the end lead to less representative electorates.

  • The Role of Local Voting Rights for Non-Naturalized Immigrants : A Catalyst for Integration?
  • 2020
  • Ingår i: The international migration review. - : SAGE Publications. - 0197-9183 .- 1747-7379. ; 54:4, s. 1134-1157
  • Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
    • Recent decades have seen a strong trend among democratic countries to extend voting rights at subnational levels to non-naturalized immigrants, creating substantial variation across countries in terms of voting eligibility rules for non-naturalized immigrants. Our knowledge of the consequences of these different systems for immigrant political integration is, however, limited. This article seeks to shed new light on this important issue by using Swedish data to study whether immigrants who face shorter residency requirements for voting eligibility in local elections are more likely to integrate politically. We find little compelling evidence that such is the case. The results suggest that immigrants who became eligible to vote after six to seven years were as likely to naturalize and vote in future elections in both the short and long run as those who received the right to vote after only three years of residency. Thus, although expanded franchise can be of symbolic, as well as practical, value, it is unlikely to be a panacea for immigrant political inclusion. The argument that early voting rights for non-naturalized immigrants is desirable since it helps speed up immigrant political integration should, therefore, be used with some care by those advocating for such reforms.

  • The Ex-Factor : Examining the Gendered Effect of Divorce on Voter Turnout
  • 2022
  • Ingår i: American Political Science Review. - : Cambridge University Press. - 0003-0554 .- 1537-5943. ; 116:4, s. 1293-1308
  • Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
    • The absence of a gendered analysis of the effect of marriage on voting is surprising given researchers’ cognizance of the heterogeneous effects of marriage on a range of other social outcomes. In this paper, we shed new light on spousal dependency by studying the gendered effect of marital disruption, in the form of divorce, on voter turnout. First, drawing on Swedish populationwide data, we use the differential timing of divorces in relation to general elections to generate more credible estimates of the causal effect of divorce on turnout. Second, although we find that both sexes are adversely affected by divorce, we show that the effect is much more pronounced for men. Specifically, the long-term effect is almost twice as large for men. Finally, we use these data to show that the gendered effect of divorce is mainly driven by asymmetrical spousal mobilization due to higher levels of turnout among women.

  • Access to education and political candidacy : Lessons from school openings in Sweden
  • 2019

    • How does availability of education affect who becomes a political representative? Theorists have pointed out that access to education is a key to a well-functioning democracy, but few empirical studies have examined how changes in the access to education influence the chances of becoming a politician. In this paper, we analyze the effects of a large series of school openings in Sweden during the early 20th century, which provided adolescents with better access to secondary education. We use administrative data pertaining to the entire Swedish population born between 1916 and 1945. According to our empirical results, the opening of a new lower secondary school in a municipality increased the baseline probability of running for political office by 10–20%, and the probability of holding office by 20–30%.

  • Arbetsplatsstorlek och sjukfrånvaro
  • 2012
  • Rapport (refereegranskat)abstract
    • Studien syftar till att studera hur in- och utflödet till sjukskrivning varierar med arbetsplatsstorlek. Mer precist undersöks om det positiva samband mellan arbetsplatsstorlek och sjukfrånvaro som har observerats både i Sverige och utomlands främst drivs av att sjukskrivningar är mer vanligt förekommande eller har längre varaktighet på stora arbetsplatser. Resultaten tyder på att sambandet helt förklaras av att anställda på stora arbetsplatser löper en större risk för att bli sjukskrivna än anställda på små arbetsplatser. Tidsperioden som studeras är 1994–2008.

  • Can Political Inequalities Be Educated Away? Evidence from a Large-scale Reform
  • 2017
  • Ingår i: American Journal of Political Science. - : Wiley. - 0092-5853 .- 1540-5907. ; 61:1, s. 222-236
  • Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
    • Over the years, many suggestions have been made on how to reduce the importance of family background in political recruitment. In this study, we examine the effectiveness of one such proposal: the expansion of mass education. We utilize a difference-in-difference strategy to analyze how a large school reform launched in Sweden in the 1950s, which lengthened schooling and postponed tracking, affected the likelihood of individuals with different family backgrounds to run for public office. The data come from public registers and pertain to the entire Swedish population born between 1943 and 1955. The empirical analysis provides strong support for the view that improved educational opportunities for individuals from disadvantaged backgrounds can be an effective means to reduce the social bias of elected assemblies.

  • Dyadic Regression in the Presence of Heteroscedasticity : An Assessment of Alternative Approaches
  • 2010
  • Ingår i: Social Networks. - : Elsevier. - 0378-8733 .- 1879-2111. ; 32:4, s. 279-289
  • Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
    • Although the problem of heteroscedasticity has been the subject of much discussion in other areas of applied statistics the problem has received scant attention in the social network literature. This study attempts to remedy this situation by considering how traditional methods for significance testing in dyadic regression models, such as standard QAP tests, perform under conditions of heteroscedasticity. Moreover, the article presents two alternative methods to deal with heteroscedasticity that are both shown to perform rather well with typical social network data under conditions of both heteroscedasticity and homoscedasticity. Overall, the results of the study suggest that applied researchers using regression techniques to study dyadic data are well advised to correct for heteroscedasticity, by either of the two methods discussed here, whenever there is a reason to suspect heteroscedasticity.

  • Enhancing Electoral Equality: Can Education Compensate for Family Background Differences in Voting Participation?
  • 2019
  • Ingår i: American Political Science Review. - 0003-0554 .- 1537-5943. ; 113:1, s. 108-122
  • Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
    • © 2018 American Political Science Association. It is well documented that voter turnout is lower among persons who grow up in families from a low socioeconomic status compared with persons from high-status families. This paper examines whether reforms in education can help reduce this gap. We establish causality by exploiting a pilot scheme preceding a large reform of Swedish upper secondary education in the early 1990s, which gave rise to exogenous variation in educational attainment between individuals living in different municipalities or born in different years. Similar to recent studies employing credible identification strategies, we fail to find a statistically significant average effect of education on political participation. We move past previous studies, however, and show that the reform nevertheless contributed to narrowing the voting gap between individuals of different social backgrounds by raising turnout among those from low socioeconomic status households. The results thus square well with other recent studies arguing that education is particularly important for uplifting politically marginalized groups.

  • Immigrant Political Representation and Local Ethnic Concentration : Evidence from a Swedish Refugee Placement Program
  • 2022
  • Ingår i: British Journal of Political Science. - : Cambridge University Press. - 0007-1234 .- 1469-2112. ; 52:3, s. 997-1012
  • Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
    • This study leverages population registry data from Sweden to examine whether immigrants who live in areas with a high concentration of ethnic minorities are more or less likely to be nominated for political office. It exploits a refugee placement program in place in Sweden during the late 1980s and early 1990s that restricted refugees' opportunities to freely choose their place of residence. The article presents evidence that immigrants who live in areas with a high ethnic density are less likely to be nominated for political office. The findings have important implications for local integration policies as well as refugee placement policies, as many countries consider local context when resettling refugees.

  • Ingår i: Journal of European Public Policy. - London : Routledge. - 1350-1763 .- 1466-4429. ; 17:4, s. 449-467
  • Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
    • Since the breakdown of the 'permissive consensus' in the early 1990s we have witnessed an input turn in the debate on EU legitimacy. Many scholars have been arguing for enhancing the input legitimacy of the EU through promoting stakeholder participation and deliberation on important European issues. Yet, others warn that this strategy might not help in increasing overall legitimacy of the EU, since increased input legitimacy could be thought to undermine its output legitimacy by making decision-making less efficient. This article assesses, empirically, the relationship between input and output legitimacy within the context of the EU chemicals policy overhaul. Contrary to what some scholars suggest, we find evidence from a survey that measures aimed at increasing the input legitimacy of the EU also hold the promise of increasing its output legitimacy.

  • Ingår i: Ekonomisk Debatt. - Stockholm : Nationalekonomiska föreningen. - 0345-2646. ; :4, s. 18-31
  • Tidskriftsartikel (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
    • I sitt betänkande argumenterade Ekonomikommissionen för behovet av strukturella reformer på socialförsäkringsområdet. Bland annat menade kommissionen att socialförsäkringssystemet i större utsträckning borde inriktas mot att erbjuda ett basskydd som garanterar individernas grundläggande försörjningsnivå. I den här artikeln diskuteras de senaste decenniernas förändringar av arbetslöshetsförsäkringen i ljuset av kommissionens reformförslag. Genomgången visar att arbetslöshetsförsäkringen i flera avseenden har utvecklats i enlighet med kommissionens förslag. Något paradoxalt kan dock denna utveckling sägas ha stärkt de korporativa inslagen i arbetslöshetsförsäkringen vilket går på tvärs med en av Ekonomikommissionens centrala rekommendationer.
