The financialization of housing and its political consequences

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Political Science, EarlyView.
Abstract Institutional investors in residential real estate have become targets of political backlash against unaffordable housing.

Xs we share: Context similarity, culture, and the diffusion of populism

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Political Science, EarlyView.
Abstract Do populist ideas travel across borders? Anecdotal evidence suggests as much, yet so far we lack a systematic assessment of whether diffusion takes place, and if so under which conditions. We argue that context similarity enables the diffusion of populism among parties as it eases the adaption of populist framing of perceived grievances into ...
