This is my new professional home until May ☀️ I’m visiting UC Berkeley, hosted by Emmanuel Saez at @ucberkeleyirle.bsky.social, continuing my work on spatial economic inequality.
Thanks for the generous financial support to @diw.de and @daadworldwide.bsky.social!
Why do rustbelts vote radical right? Studying the German Ruhr area, @nilsblossey.bsky.social, @lstoetze.bsky.social and I show: it’s not just about deindustrialization, but also about the original industrialization. Where coal is buried deeper and mining started later, the AfD is stronger today 1/12
It was a pleasure to host Peter in Berlin, and to learn about the IV research frontier firsthand. Thanks, Peter!
The projects are about spatial economic inequality and its political consequences. You can find abstracts here: sites.google.com/view/thomasr...
Also, massive thanks to @diw.de for enabling all this 🙏
