"The Impact of Economic Coercion on Public Opinion: The Case of US–China Currency Relations," co-authored by Political Science faculty members Dimitar Gueorguiev and Daniel McDowell, was published in the Journal of Conflict Resolution.

Gueorguiev, McDowell and co-author David Steinberg suggest that economic coercion can reduce support for policy change because it leads individuals to update their beliefs about who wins and loses from economic policy changes.
