Jo Thori Lind

Jo Thori Lind is a professor at the Department of Economics at the University of Oslo, known for his research on the impact of weather on voter turnout in Norway. His studies reveal a surprising correlation: contrary to expectations, rain on election day appears to increase the likelihood of Norwegians going to vote. Lind's findings challenge common assumptions about voter behavior and have been highlighted in discussions about electoral dynamics in the context of changing voting patterns, particularly with the rise of advance voting in Norway.
