"Elite Interactions and Voters’ Perceptions of Parties’ Policy Positions," co-authored by Assistant Professor of Political Science Simon Weschle, was published in the American Journal of Political Science. The authors found that "voters infer greater left–right agreement between pairs of parties that have more cooperative public relationships, but that this 'cooperation effect' is only evident near the times of national elections." 02/28/20
