  • Research interests: My main motivation is to investigate the relationship between economic growth/social prosperity, environmental impact and sustainability, from a long run perspective.My research focuses on understanding how different societies have related with the environment and trying to determine if this relation is sustainable or not. , To achieve this goalI understand that a historic perspective is necessary and demands research in at least two areas: 1) Understanding and measuring environmental impacts from societies in certain periods of time; 2) Understanding and measuring if those societies were in a sustainable path in the period of time under consideration.

  • Research interests: My thesis focuses on the influence of contexts on political behavior by socio-economic status in affluent democracies.

Marfil de la Torre, Miguel

  • e-mail: mmarfil@clio.uc3m.es
  • Curriculum Vitae
  • Research interests: My research interests focus on the institutional drivers of public opinion. More particularly, my PhD dissertation explores the relationship between different welfare state policies and dimensions and their potential effects on political attitudes, paying particular attention to support for democracy. To do so, I draw on institutionalist and incentive-based approaches to understand how institutional performance shapes attitudes and behaviours. On the other hand, I am also interested in the sociology of religions from a comparative perspective. This alternative line of research explores the consequences of religious regulation at the institutional level.

Herresearch interests include early childhood experiences and adult outcomes;social sources of stress and health inequalities; as well as individual perceptualfactors that make psychological stress stressful. Specifically, she is interested in which exogenous regularities operate nowadays that create recurrent psychological stress, and thus have severe consequences on population health and well-being.

Dolan, Leo

  • Curriculum Vitae
  • Research interests: I’m interested in how both today and throughout history we can observe huge variations in the relationship between companies and their workforces as well as wider society. My PhD focuses on the period when we arguably saw these relationships at the most extreme – the African colonial state. Creating insight into the mechanisms that determine such differences has involved modelling labour market conditions, understanding institutional contexts and changes, analysing different measures of firm’s profitability as well as constructing various worker welfare estimates over time.

  • Curriculum Vitae
  • Research interests: My primary research interest consists in analyzing how environmental factors affect children’s health. Concretely, I focus on several mechanisms through which environment could affect individuals from different social classes from while in utero until childhood. In the first project, I concentrate on the prenatal period, analyzing how access to the mechanisms through which mothers protect themselves from extreme temperatures during pregnancy affects the health at birth of the newborns depending on their socioeconomic status. Specifically, I study how changes in energy prices affect birth outcomes through their effect on mothers’ exposure to extreme temperatures, differentiating by socioeconomic status. In the second project, I focus on the childhood period. In particular, I study how the presence of outdoor areas, such as parks, affects the well-being of children depending on their socioeconomic status. Furthermore, I also analyze whether the effect of outdoor areas differs depending on the characteristics of the neighborhood where children live.

  • Research interests: I'm a PhD candidate with very broad interests. From a theoretical perspective, I'm very interested in political philosophy and political theory. However, there are two main fields of empirical research I am very keen on, namely: political psychology and comparative politics. From an individual perspective, I am mostly interested in the relationship between voters and parties, how the former process political information and how biases affect this process, and how the latter can influence voter's decisions. I study topics like party competition and electoral behavior from a political psychology perspective. More specifically, right now I am focused on the potential consequences of affective polarization.

  • Curriculum Vitae
  • Research interests: My dissertation, Geographical Resentments: Electoral Impacts of Public Infrastructure Developments, explores the often-overlooked negative electoral consequences of public infrastructure projects. While infrastructure projects, such as building hospitals or renewable energy facilities, are typically expected to boost electoral support for incumbents, I challenge this assumption by investigating cases where such developments can provoke voter dissatisfaction. Using geo-localized data and spatial econometrics, I examine how territorial competition and the perceived distribution of public goods create divergent electoral responses, particularly in regions that feel excluded or underserved by new infrastructure projects.

  • Research interests: My research interest is mainly focused on electoral behavior and public opinion. In my current research I study the impact of the political context on the formation of green attitudes in a cross-national perspective and at the individual level, and how these attitudes moderate the vote, defining a new axis of electoral competition. As secondary research interests, I am interested in affective polarization and its effects on attitudes formation, and how exogenous shocks affect electoral behavior and change perceptions and values.

  • Curriculum Vitae
  • Research interests: My primary research interest consists in analyzing the role of different types of skills on political preferences, focusing on contextual factors that shape this relation. Concretely, engaging in the debates about specific skills and redistribution preferences I analyze how this relation is moderated by occupational context. In a second project, I analyze how changes in occupational unemployment rates drive anti-immigration attitudes, showing that they have a stronger effect the greater the amount of occupation-specific skills. I show that professionals and managers are the groups more affected by changes in the occupational context. I have presented my work at the annual meetings of the European Political Science Association (EPSA), the European Consortium for Sociological Research (ECSR), the Society for the Advancement for Socio-Economics (SASE), and the SASE/Digit Early Career Workshop.
