The Institutions, Policy & Behavior research cluster explores issues concerning welfare states, labor market developments, public opinion, political behavior and the political economy at large. Our empirical focus is mainly but not exclusively the economically advanced democracies in Western Europe and North America. We are committed to interdisciplinary and multi-methodological research. We contribute to the development of several fields, including comparative politics, political behavior, and comparative political economy, and we take pride in contributing to society with timely research and active engagement in public debates.
