Abstract [en]

In this paper we use survey and register data combined to examine how the view of the capital city among those living in other regions relates to geographic factors and the development of the home region. Our findings indicate that individuals who perceive the development of their own region as “less advantageous” are prone to say that Stockholm has a negative effect on their own area as well as on Sweden overall. These individuals tend to live in regions with negative migration, farther away from the capital region, and tend to have lower trust for e.g., politicians and scientists.

Abstract [en]

This thesis consists of an introduction followed by four independent papers. Each paper explores different aspects of opinion formation or voting behavior, using diverse data sources and unique geographical perspectives.

In the first paper, I examine the urban-rural divide in radical right populist support. The findings suggest that this divide arises from a combination of diverse population characteristics, such as the distribution of highly educated individuals (composition explanations) and location-specific factors, like population development and public service supply (contextual explanations).

The focus of the second paper is to investigate how perceptions of the capitalcity relate to various characteristics of one’s own locality. The results indicatethat inhabitants in non-urban or mixed areas, as well as those dissatisfiedwith their own region’s development, are more prone to perceive the capitalto have negative effects on their own area and the country overall.

In the third paper, I examine the electoral effects of refugee exposure due tounanticipated refugee camp settlements in neighborhoods. The results display that hosting refugees increases support for the radical right populist party amongresidents. These effects appear to abate with distance and over time.

Lastly, the fourth paper focuses on the role of newspaper ownership for thepolitical bias of newspapers. The results demonstrate that newspapers held by the same owner tend to exhibit a similar slant, rather than aligning their bias with the preferences of their local readership. During election periods, co-owned news-papers demonstrate an even greater similarity in their ideological slant composition.

Abstract [sv]

Denna avhandling består av ett introduktionskapitel och fyra vetenskapliga artiklar.Artiklarna utforskar skilda aspekter av åsiktsbildning eller röstningsbeteende medhjälp av olika data och geografiska perspektiv.

I den första artikeln undersöker jag skillnader mellan stad och land i stöd för det politiska partiet Sverigedemokraterna. Resultaten i studien antyder att denna klyftauppstår av att stad och land dels har olika befolkningssammansättning såsom andelhögutbildade (sammansättningsförklaringar) och dels har olika platsspecifika egen-skaper såsom skilda befolkningsutveckling och utbud av offentliga tjänster (kontextuella förklaringar).

Den andra artikeln, som är samförfattad med Charlotta Mellander och Lina Bjerke,undersöker hur åsikter om huvudstaden varierar beroende på var man bor och denegna platsens egenskaper. Resultaten i studien indikerar att invånare i icke-urbanaområden liksom de som är missnöjda med sin egen regions utveckling, är mertroliga att ha en negativ bild av huvudstaden och dess påverkan på deras regionoch landet som helhet.

I den tredje artikeln undersöker jag de politiska effekterna av oförutseddaöppnanden av flyktingboenden i närområdet. Studien visar att mottagandet avflyktingar ökar stödet för Sverigedemokraterna bland invånarna i närområdet. Dessa effekter tycks minska med ökat avstånd och över tid.

Slutligen fokuserar den fjärde artikeln, som är samförfattad med Marcel Garz, på ägarskapets roll för den politiska biasen av tidningar. Studiens resultat visar att tidningar som ägs av samma ägare tenderar att ha en liknande ideologisk vinkling snarare än att anpassa sin bias efter preferenserna hos sina lokala läsare. Under valperioder visar samägda tidningar ännu större likhet i sin mix av politisk bias.
