Over five days, the group advanced a series of new co-authored projects in dedicated one-on-one working sessions, complemented by team discussions and evening fireside chats. They advanced more mature projects, including “Why Votes Are (Not) for Sale.” This project uses field experiments in Southern India to examine a practice that breeds corruption and undermines the legitimacy of democratic choices. The groupe also conceptualized and developed new research projects. One ambitious project combines Austrian register data, online experiments, and interactive interviews with AI bots to study how perceived and actual income losses shape political attitudes and may contribute to radicalization and polarization.
