Aggregate public opinion does not seem to be a compelling determinant of welfare state output.
“In any case, aggregate public opinion-i.e., support averaged across the whole population-does not seem to be a compelling determinant of welfare state output.”

Aggregate public opinion is not a particularly insightful criterion to determine welfare state change, as it may primarily reflect longer-term processes of policy feedback from existing institutional differences.
“Of course, aggregate public opinion is not a particularly insightful criterion to determine welfare state change, as it may primarily reflect longer-term processes of policy feedback from existing institutional differences (Myles, 2006).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
