Andrea Celico presented his paper "Facing the populists: The effect of populist challengers on mainstream parties' welfare state positions".
In addition to the organizers, twelve specially invited researchers participated and presented their papers on culture and institutions. Topics included how risk preferences are transmitted from parents to children, how the market economy affects women's life satisfaction, how the Habsburg Empire has led to stronger tax compliance today, how fundamental technological conditions determine whether a country’s culture becomes individualistic or collectivist, and how the type of electoral system influences the extent of corruption. The workshop was scientifically enriching and facilitated the deepening and expansion of IFN’s research network.
