Paris Junior Experimentalists Meetings

What is it? 

The idea of PJEM was born from the observation that few Ph.D. students at our University work on experimental economics. Thus, we had the idea to organize informal seminars to discuss experimental designs and projects and create a community of junior experimentalists in Paris and its suburbs:  Paris Junior Experimentalists Meetings (PJEM). The idea is to meet at a bar and to present and talk informally, over a drink, about your ongoing research. You can present your paper at any stage, even if you only want to present your experimental design, or if you already have run your sessions and you want to talk about the results. 

If you want to present your work or just attend the presentations, here's our mailing list!

Title: Voting under the influence of far right misinformation 

Abstract: 

Despite widespread concern, there is mixed evidence as to the effect of far right misinformation on voting behaviour. I conduct an online experimental survey (n = 3000) during the 2022 French presidential election. The main finding is that there is no effect on voting intention for far right candidates, but rather a significant increase in support for centrist candidates. I provide evidence that these effects are mediated by changes in political attitudes with respect to the incumbent president Macron.
