Emil Bories Hüttel

Hi, I'm a first year PhD Fellow at the Department of Political Science, Aarhus University. My work investigates political elites' belief formation and sits at the intersection of political psychology, political behaviour, and public policy.

My dissertation investigates political elites’ beliefs about policy levers and the role of scientific evidence – or the lack thereof – in shaping these beliefs and informing public policy. It pays particular attention to how uncertainty, both in beliefs and in evidence, shapes these processes.

Methodologically, I have a particular affinity for bayesian inference, hierarchical modelling, computational methods, and causal inference. A current obsession of mine is eliciting and measuring beliefs as probability distributions.

I received my bachelor's and master's degree in Political Science from Aarhus University.
