iPhone : As part of a fantastic special issue in the BJSociology on Capital and Ideology, Simon Hix and I investigate Piketty’s arguments about a Brahmin Left that now supposedly represents the educational elite and because of this focuses less on redistribution bit.ly/3slGZcM

Twitter Web App : patricksturgis College one and irregularly.
iPhone : Just noted this in the office kitchen, presumably from a year ago. Like something from the archives: “government and NHS are well prepared”, make sure to clean surfaces & sneeze into tissues, follow some rules if you just got back from China. Don’t worry, everything’s fine 😬
iPhone : Duncan Weldon Duncan this is just neoclassical economics in action as different taxes are forced to compete with one another in a perfectly competitive market.
iPhone : Super interesting thread on how to use observational data in tandem with RCTs when looking at vaccine effectiveness. twitter.com/_miguelhernan/…
iPhone : Andrew Henley💙😷💉 David Randall💙 Obviously none of this could be viewed as ‘causally identified’ so the Brexit vaccine pattern could of course reflect some omitted background variable.
iPhone : Andrew Henley💙😷💉 David Randall💙 I haven’t put up the regression tables but it the ‘Remain’ effect is largely unaffected by controlling for age, income, education, region or ethnicity. Some evidence that Brexit gap is larger among younger people.
Twitter for iPad : Matt Grossmann David A. Hopkins Congrats guys. Look forward to this.
iPhone : Wouldn’t it be good if someone had just run a survey asking how people felt about the age-based approach ;) TLDR it’s popular. See our findings at twitter.com/benwansell/sta… twitter.com/hugogye/status…
Twitter Web App : A really excellent dialogue between Hélène Landemore and Ezra Klein - great to see this attention being given to Hélène Landemore's deep and original rethinking of democracy for our times. Her "Open Democracy" is a must-read, and beautifully written too.

Twitter Web App : Economics seminar culture has many great aspects and some really bad aspects.
I love questions and interaction. I love being rigorous and getting to the heart of an issue.
AND it's been clear to me since I joined econ that there's a seminar culture problem

iPhone : Jae Yeon Kim Very handy
Twitter Web App : Jane Green John MacGill / Iain MacGilleBhràth Long story short - Leave / Remain matters more at higher levels of education. Consistent with standard argument (e.g. Bartels) that splits among high education people matter more.
Twitter Web App : Jane Green John MacGill / Iain MacGilleBhràth Ask and ye shall...
Twitter Web App : Sunder Katwala Thomas Dvorak And very hard to communicate with this group effectively. Will be the challenge. Not least because no matter how good any survey company it's likely this group are also not fully picked up by them...
Twitter Web App : Sunder Katwala Thomas Dvorak On this point it also appears to be young Brexiteers who drive whatever Brexit effect there is. Gap is much smaller among over 50s.
Twitter Web App : Thomas Dvorak Sunder Katwala has some interesting thoughts on this. What he noted is that even though there is a relationship between politics and vaccine willingness in UK it's much lower than in America and Europe. Maybe because Boris Johnson is the PM and chief vaccine cheerleader.
