Reports (other academic/artistic)abstract
- This methodological note examines attitude stability in a mostly self-recruited Swedish web-panel with 10 waves spanning over about 3.5 years. It is concluded that the highest stability is found for attitudes like ideological left-right position and evaluations of the government. It is also noted that items differ not only in their stability over time (r-values of correlations for the same item in different waves) but also on how much this stability changes over time, that is how much weaker the correlations get when the time difference between the waves in a correlation gets bigger.

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Abstract in UndeterminedThe hitherto most successful theory explaining why similar industrialized market economies have developed such varying systems for social protection is the Power Resource Theory (PRT), according to which the generosity of the welfare state is a function of working class mobilization. In this paper, we argue that there is an under-theorized link in the micro-foundations for PRT, namely why wage earners trying to cope with social risks and demand for redistribution would turn to the state for a solution. Our approach, the Quality of Government (QoG) theory, stresses the importance of trustworthy, impartial, and uncorrupted government institutions as aprecondition for citizens’ willingness to support policies for social insurance. Drawing on data on 18 OECD countries during 1984–2000, we find (a) that QoG positively affects the size and generosity of the welfare state, and (b) that the effect of working class mobilization on welfare state generosity increases with the level of QoG.
