• Public opinion and environmental policy output: a cross-national analysis of energy policies in Europe (2017, background): “Such institutional features range from inclusiveness (Böhmelt et al 2016) and government resources (Cao and Ward 2015) to the strength of left parties (Neumayer 2003).”
• The political economy of passing climate change legislation: Evidence from a survey (2015, background): “Earlier studies have found that leftof-centre governments are generally more inclined to legislate on the environment (Neumayer, 2003).”
• The political drivers of renewable energies policies (2016, background): “Karaibrahimoglu, 2012); yet, according to Neumayer (2003), tougher environmental controls might negatively affect employment levels, thus creating a conflict among two typical concerns of left wing parties.”
• Partisan Politics: The Empirical Evidence from OECD Panel Studies (2017, unknown): “Neumayer (2003) was among the first to examine the effect of government ideology on air pollution.”
• Historical institutionalism and the politics of sustainable energy transitions: A research agenda (2017, background): “There is mixed evidence on whether this ‘varieties of capitalism’ framework can satisfactorily explain diversity in outcomes related to environmental sustainability (Neumayer 2003, Scruggs 2004, Poloni-Staudinger 2008, Lachapelle and Paterson 2013).”
• Do parties matter in internationalised policy areas? The impact of political parties on environmental policy outputs in 18 OECD countries, 1970-2000 (2010, background): “Jahn (1998) (2000) and Neumayer (2003) report a positive relationship between left-wing party strength in parliament and environmental performance, while for left-wing government control such effects can not be detected.”
• The environment, left-wing political orientation and ecological economics (2004, background): “Left-wing political parties tend to embrace more governmental intervention, are less probusiness and are more concerned about the welfare of the lower social classes than right-wing parties (Dunlap et al., 2001; Neumayer, 2003).”
