Studied sociology and economics in Budapest, finishing his PhD on solidarity and welfare preferences in 2003. He has published two books and almost hundred papers in scholarly journals and books, covering a wide range of issues, including collective action theory, the role of moral considerations in public policy attitudes and the situation of the Roma of Hungary. In the past five years, he has started to connect the issues of policy attitudes, ethnicity and issue-framing. He developed theoretical models and conducted experiments using vignettes, and has published papers in international field journals in recent years (Janky & Varga 2013, Horváth & Janky 2014, Janky et al. 2014, Csepeli et al. 2014, Janky 2016, 2017). Currently, he is the principal investigator of the research project on “Welfare attitudes: General moral principples, issue framing and survey design”, and departmental coordinator of the Sustainable Energetics Research University Program.
