Barriers to entry: insider/outsider politics and the political determinants of job security regulations (2009, methodology): “…in a formal model, it is not clear how an insider should recognize the turning point.3 The assumption of rationality can be a tough one and there are many calls for a more conservative usage of the concept (Simon, 1985: 297; Hernes, 1992: 427–8; Goldthorpe, 2000: 106; Albrekt Larsen, 2006: 4–5).”
Government quality, egalitarianism, and attitudes to taxes and social spending: a European comparison (2012, background): “Differences and similarities among countries show interpretable patterns, but they are too complex to be summarized as ‘worlds of welfare attitudes’ (Svallfors, 1997, 2003; Andress and Heien, 2001; Arts and Gelissen, 2001; Mau, 2003; Larsen, 2006; Brooks and Manza, 2007).”

Three Worlds of Welfare Chauvinism? How Welfare Regimes Affect Support for Distributing Welfare to Immigrants in Europe (2013, background): “The labor-market trajectory is the third dimension of welfare regimes that affects the opinion of the majority about the poor and the unemployed (Larsen 2006) and possibly about immigrants as well.”
The stigma of claiming benefits: a quantitative study (2015, background): “Those that do exist find that 1/2 to 2/3 of their samples would feel ‘embarrassed’ about claiming (UK: Who Benefits?, 2013) or ‘do not want other people to know’ (US: Stuber and Kronebusch, 2004); that people ‘tend to look down’ on claimants (Scandinavia: Albrekt Larsen, 2006 Table 6.2) or ‘don’t re”
Economic inequality and public demand for redistribution: combining cross-sectional and longitudinal evidence (2016, background): “The relationship between inequality and demand for redistribution, as it is claimed by the median-voter hypothesis, might be effectively confounded by institutional differences that relate to both an inherent logic of solidarity adopted by the public and actual inequality (Lübker, 2007; Larsen, 2008”
Deservingness versus values in public opinion on welfare: The automaticity of the deservingness heuristic (2011, background): “In the domain of welfare, the so-called ‘desert’ or ‘deservingness’ heuristic seems to be particularly important (Gilens 1999; Larsen 2006; Van Oorschot 2000; Sniderman et al. 1991).”
Policy feedback and support for the welfare state (2013, background): “Existing research on policy feedback generally measures welfare state support through levels of public support for redistribution (Andreß and Heien, 2001; Jæger, 2006; Svallfors, 1997) or more rarely an index measure of support for particular sectors of the welfare state (Larsen, 2008).”
Equity, equality, or need? A study of popular preferences for welfare redistribution principles across 24 European countries (2013, background): “It is known that people’s degree of welfare support reflects a conflict between their general longer-term needs and their current short-term life stage demands (Larsen 2006).”
A Bedrock of Support? Trends in Welfare State Attitudes in Sweden, 1981–2010 (2011, result): “This picture of basic stability in welfare state attitudes is replicated elsewhere, and also with comparative data (see for example Roller 1992; Jenssen and Martinussen 1994; Evans 1998; Andress et al. 2001; Mau 2003; Arriba et al. 2006; Larsen 2006; summary in Svallfors 2010).”
Migration and welfare state solidarity in Western Europe (2009, neutral): “Similar results can also be found for Denmark, where the proportion of foreigners in the population is not associated with negative attitudes or resentment (Larsen, 2006).”
Governments and unpopular social policy reform: Biting the bullet or steering clear? (2009, background): “Therefore, I take into account the cross-regime variation in the support for welfare policy, with support being highest in Denmark and the Netherlands, intermediate in Germany, and lowest in the United Kingdom (Larsen 2008).”
