New from Laure-lise Robben, Arjan Widlak and me: 'Burdens on the gateway to the state: Administrative
burdens in the registration of people experiencing
homelessness in Belgium and the Netherlands' in Journal of Policy Analysis and Management

And find that our generic scale correlates highly with the tolerance for burdens in a variety of domains. Conservative beliefs are positively related to burden tolerance (though to different degrees) regardless of domain 4/4

We demonstrate how to adapt the scale to specific policy areas 3/4

We examine correlates of the scale: Tolerance is higher among males, young adults, less well educated, those with good health, those who trust state actors more, and ideological conservatives. 2/4

We have a new paper out PAR soon!
