MASS MEDIA EXPERIENCE Repeatedly served as political expert in Swedish national public television (including Rapport, SVT Morgon, Dokument Inifrån), as well as on national and local radio (including Dagens Eko, Godmorgon Världen, Studio Ett, and P4 Extra).= Appeared in several Swedish and foreign newspapers and magazines, including Folha de São Paulo (Brazil), Kommunal Rapport (Norway, Svenska Dagbladet, Göteborgs-Posten, Sydsvenska dagbladet, Göteborgstidningen (GT), Borås Tidning, Dagens Forskning, Stockholm City, Västerbottenskuriren, Eskilstunakuriren, Trelleborgs Allehanda, LO-tidningen, TCO-tidningen, Jusek- Tidningen, Axess Magasin, Riksdag och Department, and Politiken.se. DATA COLLECTION AND COMPILATION Collected primary survey data (about two pages in a mail survey questionnaire) in the 1999 West Sweden SOM survey, as well as in the 1999 European Parliamentary Election Study (three questions in a face-to-face interview). These data are reported in The Personal and the Political. Also, I have designed questions for the 2002 Swedish Election Study, and the 2003 Euro Referendum Study (directed by Sören Holmberg and Henrik Oscarsson). Together with Henrik Oscarsson I designed and conducted web-based five wave panel surveys during the 2002 and 2006 Swedish election campaigns (nonrandom sample of about addresses). A methodological report is available on my website (authored by Henrik Oscarsson, myself, and our research assistant). These data, which are useful for studying the extent of, and causes for, short-term public opinion change, have so far given rise to the paper Learning from Politics? The Causal Interplay Between Government Performance and Political Ideology. QoG Social Policy Dataset (with Marcus Samanni, Jan Teorell, and Bo Rothstein). This dataset is meant to promote cross-national comparative research on social policy output and its correlates, with a special focus on the connection between social policy, quality of government, and public opinion. To accomplish this we have compiled a number of freely available data sources, including aggregated public opinion data. The data contain some 900 variables spanning 40 countries and the time period PEER REVIEW 6
