The Cologne Center for Comparative Politics (CCCP) and the Excellence Cluster ECONtribute (ECONtribute: Markets & Public Policy EXC 2126) jointly hosted a half-day mini-workshop on “Political Behavior and Institutions” on 10 January 2023. The workshop showcased research on this topic being conducted by leading researchers from top-departments, alongside presentations by post-doc researchers at the University of Cologne and the ECONtribute research area “Political Economy”. The primary objective of this workshop is to provide a forum for scholars producing state-of-the-art political economy research to discuss their work and to connect researchers working at internationally leading institutions with researchers at the University of Cologne. A secondary objective of this workshop was to provide early career researchers at the University of Cologne with an opportunity to receive feedback on their work from world-leading researchers in their field. Kenneth Scheve (Yale University, United States), Matthew Gabel (Washington University in St. Louis, United States) and Paula Rettl (Bocconi University, Italy) presented their work alongside Leonce Röth (CCCP), Bruno Catanho Silva (CCCP) and Björn Bremer (MPIfG).
