This study synthesizes and appraises evidence on how the platform's design and governance shape political (dis)information and may affect electoral dynamics. Based on a systematic review of 140 studies published between 2021 and 2025, the paper identifies several recurring patterns. The literature suggests that the platform's algorithms tend to amplify sensational content and may increase youth exposure to political messaging. National security concerns over data sovereignty have prompted platform bans, and opaque “visibility moderation” policies may hinder efforts to correct misinformation. Current research is often limited by small samples and restricted data access, which affects the generalizability of findings. We conclude that TikTok functions as a fast-moving marketplace for political ideas in which algorithmic incentives may shape conditions relevant to electoral integrity. Therefore, transparent data access and continued cross-disciplinary research are important for addressing these challenges.</p>","PeriodicalId":47739,"journal":{"name":"Kyklos","volume":"79 3","pages":"724-742"},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2026-07-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/kykl.70054","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148386733","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

While prior research widely analyzes the determinants of tax compliance, the role of subjective perceptions of mobility remains underexplored. Employing data from the seventh wave of the World Values Survey, which covers citizens belonging to 63 countries, this paper provides empirical evidence about the relationship between PSM and individual tax preferences. Individuals who perceive society as meritocratic tend to express greater willingness to comply with fiscal duties, while subjects who attribute personal success to luck show lower tax morale. The relationship is strongest among upwardly mobile respondents and weakest among those who experienced downward mobility. These results are robust across multiple econometric strategies, including instrumental variables estimation. Beyond this baseline relationship, which has been confirmed across different world's macro-regions, the analysis of interactions shows that the positive impact of PSM on tax morale is complemented by social trust while, conversely, PSM acts as a partial substitute for redistributive preferences. In fact, while support for redistribution is generally associated with higher tax morale, its marginal effect weakens as individuals increasingly perceive the social system as meritocratic. This evidence highlights how individual fiscal preferences can be based on citizens' perception of the society as meritocratic and that not only the actual but also the perceived social mobility may strengthen tax morale and encourage greater voluntary compliance.</p>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":47739,"journal":{"name":"Kyklos","volume":"79 3","pages":"743-768"},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2026-07-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148386973","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Based on survey data, we explore the links between three ideological dimensions—political orientation, sexist attitudes (benevolent and hostile), and pro-market beliefs—and their opinions. We find that right-wing political ideology, hostile sexism, and pro-market attitudes are consistently associated with lower agreement that income distribution should be more equitable, lower recognition of gender and racial discrimination, and reduced support for redistributive and antidiscrimination policies. By contrast, benevolent sexism exhibits weaker and more inconsistent associations with economists' views. We further show that whereas diagnostic assessments mediate the relationship between ideology and policy preferences, ideological orientations continue to exert direct effects on policy views even after controlling for diagnoses. These findings reveal that disagreements among economists about inequality and discrimination reflect not only different interpretations of evidence but also distinct normative commitments shaped by ideology. Our results challenge the notion of economics as a value-neutral discipline and highlight the need for greater reflexivity about how personal beliefs influence economic analysis and policy recommendations.</p>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":47739,"journal":{"name":"Kyklos","volume":"79 3","pages":"700-723"},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2026-07-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148386730","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The article investigates how the coevolution of formal and informal institutions influenced economic performance within the European Union from 1980 to 2019. Results indicate that all countries have achieved strong formal institutional frameworks but still diverge mostly in terms of informal institutional development. Cluster analysis reveals how many Eastern European member countries experienced a fast and asymmetric institutional development to the advantage of political and judicial formal ones with modest economic effects. The opposite happened among many Central and Northern European member countries, which improved mostly their informal institutions through their interaction with robust formal institutional frameworks. Bootstrap panel Granger causality test and panel data analysis suggest that economic performance is positively influenced by informal institutions while the formal ones seem to be a necessary but not sufficient condition for economic progress. As the level of economic development increases, causality tends to reverse in favor of informal institutions. The analysis of institutional development trajectories reveals how better economic performance can be achieved when formal and informal institutions keep pace with one another. These insights are important to design European policies and reforms.</p>","PeriodicalId":47739,"journal":{"name":"Kyklos","volume":"79 3","pages":"842-857"},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2026-07-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/kykl.70060","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148386454","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The fact that the association holds for cross-country observations but does not universally hold for cross-individual observations within countries is a puzzle, the paper argues, and it explains this by assuming that market preferences are expressive. It argues that this assumption implies that the link between prosocial and pro-market values should vary with national institutions because the latter reflect prevailing beliefs about markets. The prediction is tested by individual-level regressions that use post-materialism and generalised trust as indicators of prosocial values and ownership preferences as an indicator of pro-market values from the International Values Survey. The regressions support the prediction by showing that the within-country association between these values can be either positive or negative, depending on institutional context and political identity. The moral consequences of markets, therefore, are a key part of the argument for them.</p>","PeriodicalId":47739,"journal":{"name":"Kyklos","volume":"79 3","pages":"636-654"},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2026-07-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/kykl.70049","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148386572","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
