Prague 5-6 May, 2022
Partners:
- Halle Institute for Economic Research e.V. (IWH) - Prof. Dr. Steffen Müller

The project asks about sources of European populism, including historical events, immigration, technological change, the Covid pandemic, and it ask about EU funding effects on populism. The Prague-based research focuses on the effects of municipality-level over-indebtedness (distressed warrant propensity) on voting behavior, and on the effects of the Covid pandemic, measured at municipality and personal level, on political preferences and voting behavior.
