Citations in the corpus

• Public support for redistribution: what explains cross-national differences? (2010, background): “Conversely, in times of economic downturn with growing unemployment, citizens place responsibility on the welfare state and ask for ‘governmental protection’ (Blekesaune, 2007).”
• Economic inequality and public demand for redistribution: combining cross-sectional and longitudinal evidence (2016, background): “Both sets of explanations are frequently used at the individual level and also at the contextual level and prove to be empirically relevant determinants of support for redistribution (Andress and Heien, 2001; Fong, 2001; Blekesaune and Quadagno, 2003; Linos and West, 2003; Blekesaune, 2007; Rehm, 20”
• The effect of macroeconomic and social conditions on the demand for redistribution: A pseudo panel approach (2013, background): “In political sociology, the governmental protection hypothesis argues that the welfare state is a form of social insurance that protects agents from adverse macroeconomic and social conditions (Blekesaune, 2007).”
• The Paradox of Well-being: Do Unfavorable Socioeconomic and Sociocultural Contexts Deepen or Dampen Radical Left and Right Voting Among the Less Well-Off? (2018, background): “Although we are not aware of research directly assessing the relationship between aggregate-level variables and radical left voting, several studies suggest that a poorly performing economy fuels support for radical left attitudes (Blekesaune, 2007).”
• Policy feedback and support for the welfare state (2013, background): “In particular, cross-national public opinion research suggests that support for unemployment insurance grows during periods of high unemployment (Blekesaune, 2007; Blekesaune and Quadagno, 2003).”
