“…If power is understood as directing and influencing the behavior of others or the course of events, we can see in the light of our data that the course of events in Finland during COVID-19 was impacted by the decision to monitor and govern the pandemic through utilizing indicators pertinent to specialized health care, rather than monitoring the issue holistically or through a more integrated approach. Lastly, while our data do not provide sufficient information on the matter, the findings warrant further research on what role the media plays in who is perceived to have more power in pandemic decision-making ( Harjuniemi, 2022 ; Vuorelma, 2022 ).…”

“…Moreover, while this study specifically examines economists, the theoretical perspective of expert influence and our proposal to integrate strategic framing into the framework can be applicable to studies of experts across various fields. Recent literature on knowledge production during the COVID-19 pandemic has advocated for a similar approach (Vuorelma 2022). An interesting avenue for future research is to integrate strategic framing into the examination of political influence of experts in diverse domains, ranging from healthcare and inequality to the challenges of climate change.…”

The power of economists in policymaking is widely recognized by both scholars and political actors. While the literature on expert influence has primarily focused on the intellectual features of expert arguments, we argue that economists’ strategic use of framing and normative reasoning wields more influence in policymaking than is acknowledged by current scholarship. Through a comprehensive investigation into the institutionalization of the Norwegian Oil Fund and its associated fiscal regime, drawing on 26 elite interviews with key political and technocratic actors, we unveil the considerable influence of state economists in shaping the policy for managing petroleum wealth. These economists not only played a crucial role in legitimizing and lending credibility to the new policy but also employed strategic framing as a reinforcing mechanism to sustain the policy regime, illustrating the essential role of economists as storytellers. Hence, we suggest including strategic framing as a conceptual element within the theoretical framework of expert influence.

Press Releases, Politics, and Gendered Language Frames: An Analysis of Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham During the COVID-19 Pandemic

This study takes a case study approach to conduct a frame analysis of the press releases sent out by the Governor of New Mexico, Michelle Lujan Grisham, during the COVID-19 pandemic. The study argues that the governor saliently employed feminine language frames in her press releases while using masculine language frames sparingly in a feminine way, which I attribute to the context of the pandemic as well as the culture of her state. The findings are relevant considering the changing political climate and the then-novel nature of the pandemic. I also discuss the broader implications of the results on health crisis communication.
