High-skilled outsiders? Labor market vulnerability, education and welfare state preferences (2015, background): “Our argument regarding preference formation is based on a rational choice logic: people will be in favor of state intervention if they expect to gain from it (Meltzer and Richard, 1981; Moene and Wallerstein, 2003; Jaeger, 2006; Häusermann and Schwander, 2011).”
Economic inequality and public demand for redistribution: combining cross-sectional and longitudinal evidence (2016, background): “This hypothesis claims that inequality is positively related to actual redistribution but research on this relationship continuously finds a negative relationship (Moene and Wallerstein, 2001, 2003; Bradley et al., 2003; Iversen and Soskice, 2006).”
The Politics of Inequality: Voter Mobilization and Left Parties in Advanced Industrial States (2010, background): “Moene and Wallerstein (2001, 2003) propose that demand for insurance rises with income to turn the Meltzer– Richard model on its head.”
Inequality and the Demand for Redistribution: Are the Assumptions of the New Growth Theory Valid? (2007, background): “Looking at total welfare spending in OECD countries, Moene and Wallerstein (2003) find a negative correlation with earnings inequality (i.e. of opposite sign than expected).”
The Structure of Inequality and the Politics of Redistribution (2011, background): “Although there are some concerns about cross-national comparability, many studies have employed these data (e.g., Beramendi and Cusack 2009; Bradley et al. 2003; Iversen and Soskice 2006; Moene and Wallerstein 2003), and the OECD has significantly improved data quality over multiple iterations.”
VOTING, INEQUALITY AND REDISTRIBUTION (2007, unknown): “See, for example, Mueller (2003) and Persson and Tabellini (2000) for an overview of these models.”
Rising Inequality and the Politics of Redistribution in Affluent Countries (2005, background): “54 Moene and Wallerstein 2001; Moene and Waller- stein 2003.”
Explaining the welfare state: power resources vs. the Quality of Government (2011, background): “…of the welfare state were connected to Christian values of supporting the poor and the needy, then why do the most secular countries also have the most extensive programmes for economic support and the lowest percentages of children living in poverty (Norris and Inglehart, 2004; Smeeding, 2004)?”
Labour market- versus life course-related social policies: understanding cross-programme differences (2012, background): “In line with the mainstream social policy literature my starting point is the median voter model (Iversen and Soskice 2006; Meltzer and Richards 1981; Moene and Wallerstein 2003).”
