Treatment events may affect not only opinions, but also survey participation and thereby bias causal estimates. I develop a framework to assess and tackle this bias. https://osf.io/preprints/socarxiv/bz65p_v112 Aug 2026 13:18 +0000at://did:plc:nug7ms4ybcfnmvmct5n7bjwl/app.bsky.feed.post/3msv7qjn6vs2ghttps://bsky.app/profile/klaramueller.bsky.social/post/3mssdclpazk2x📢 New paper out in @electoralstudies.bsky.social (w/ @aleferna.bsky.social)! Asking how a snap election call affects vote choice (un)certainty, we find that they tend to increase voters’ confidence in their vote intentions.

Besides continuing my research on public opinion, electoral behaviour, and all things measurement bias, I'll also be scientifically coordinating methods training at @gesistraining.bsky.social. Looking forward to what's ahead!02 Jul 2026 13:10 +0000at://did:plc:nug7ms4ybcfnmvmct5n7bjwl/app.bsky.feed.post/3mpo45cdhyc2qhttps://bsky.app/profile/klaramueller.bsky.social/post/3mlb6qnyglk2qAnother round of talking about how to tackle common biases in quasi-experimental designs, this time at @gesis.org in Cologne. 🗓️ May 11th, 10-11am, Room A-104, USH I'll be there Mon/Tue - feel free to reach out if you're around and fancy a chat☕ Join online here: ethz.zoom.us/j/6972093531607 May 2026 12:11 +0000at://did:plc:nug7ms4ybcfnmvmct5n7bjwl/app.bsky.feed.post/3mlb6qnyglk2qhttps://bsky.app/profile/klaramueller.bsky.social/post/3mhzqbfey2k27So pleased to share that I passed my viva yesterday 🎓✨ What a journey these past years have been! I’m happy, proud, and undeniably also quite relieved to have wrapped this up now. Now on to discovering what new challenges the world of political science has in store! 📚📊27 Mar 2026 08:47 +0000at://did:plc:nug7ms4ybcfnmvmct5n7bjwl/app.bsky.feed.post/3mhzqbfey2k27https://bsky.app/profile/klaramueller.bsky.social/post/3megpv7bjo22lExcited to kick off the @mzes-ssdl.bsky.social Spring series 🙌 I’ll talk about different threats to causal inference in quasi-experimental designs and share hands-on tools to tackle common biases. Hybrid event, so happy to see non-Mannheim folks joining on Zoom as well! 🗓️ Feb 25th, 1.45pm CET [contains quote post or other embedded content]09 Feb 2026 15:04 +0000at://did:plc:nug7ms4ybcfnmvmct5n7bjwl/app.bsky.feed.post/3megpv7bjo22l
