Clareta Treger examines whether political identities dominate policy preferences in Canadians' political decision-making process. Her recent work finds that even in an era of prominent partisan and ideological competition, Canadian voters continue to evaluate electoral candidates on what they propose to do – not simply on the labels they wear
Liron Lavi and Clareta Treger argue that citizens hold a multi-dimensional perception of political representation. Using Israel as a case study, they find that citizens feel represented on dimensions that are not important to them, and also on dimensions that reflect their satisfaction with democracy
In a study of public attitudes towards government paternalism, Clareta Treger finds that, when it comes to their own safety and health, individuals prefer coercive government policies over nudges that steer them towards welfare-enhancing behaviour. This should be taken into consideration when devising strategies to mitigate COVID-19 and future crises.
