A Bedrock of Support? Trends in Welfare State Attitudes in Sweden, 1981–2010 (2011, background): “Analyses from Sweden show basically very little change over the course of the 1980s, 1990s and early 2000s, indicating strong support for high social spending, collective financing and public sector organization (Svallfors 1989, 1995, 1996, 2004).”
Policy feedback and support for the welfare state (2013, background): “In addition, efforts to demonstrate a relationship between welfare regime type and class polarization in welfare state attitudes have found limited evidence of distinct cleavage patterns across different welfare regimes (Edlund, 2007; Jæger, 2006; Larsen, 2008; McClosky and Zaller, 1984; Svallfors, ”
Government quality, egalitarianism, and attitudes to taxes and social spending: a European comparison (2012, background): “…and higher risks of unemployment, members of the working class and those with low levels of education, tend to be more in favour of extensive welfare policies than more privileged groups (Roller, 1992; Iversen and Soskice, 2001; Svallfors, 2004, 2006; Cusack et al., 2006; Kitschelt and Rehm, 2006).”
Attitudes towards redistributive spending in an era of demographic ageing: the rival pressures from age and income in 14 OECD countries (2009, unknown): “Some studies (Matheson and Wearing, 1999; Gelissen, 2000; Blekesaune and Quadagno, 2003; Linos and West, 2003; Svallfors 2003; 2004; Mehrtens, 2004; Fraile and Ferrer, 2005) find that age is a significant determinant of social policy preferences and that older people mostly have a higher…”
The effect of macroeconomic and social conditions on the demand for redistribution: A pseudo panel approach (2013, background): “For example, a literature in political sociology argues that social classes face different structural conditions and, as a consequence, they develop different demands for redistribution (for example, Iversen and Soskice, 2009; Linos and West, 2003; Svallfors, 1997, 2004).”
Public opinion on policy and budgetary trade-offs in European welfare states: evidence from a new comparative survey (2017, background): “erature finds that support for different social policies largely depends on selfinterest (e.g., Busemeyer et al. 2009; Iversen and Soskice 2001; Lynch and Myrskylä 2009; Rehm 2009; Svallfors 2004), e.”
Who Gives, Who Gains? Progressivity and Preferences (2016, background): “One may hypothesize that where there is more money at stake, political behavior revolves more along income lines (Svallfors, 2004).”
