The British Journal of Sociology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT How are capital and the family interconnected in contemporary capitalism? In this article, we argue that they come together in owning relations.

Mitigating policy uncertainty: What financial markets reveal about firm‐level lobbying
American Journal of Political Science, EarlyView.Abstract Elections can lead to substantial policy changes and, thus, are a significant source of risk. Firms can respond to such policy uncertainty by lobbying, but it is hard to quantify whether they do so and, if so, how much lobbying benefits them. We construct a new dataset and leverage investors’ expectations of variability in stock returns in the
