Federalism and COVID-19

Sandra León and I are together working on a series of experiments designed to capture the effects of the pandemic on public opinion in territorially complex contexts. This research is part of the project Federalism in Polarized Times, 2019-00029-001, funded by the regional government of Madrid through the Senior Talent Research Program.

Here is a link to a draft of our first Working Paper, which delves into the analysis of popular preferences towards centralization/decentralization in the context of this external threat: https://osf.io/preprints/socarxiv/qyjtm/
