Are voters’ choices influenced by parties’ position-taking and communication efforts on issues during a campaign? And if so, do reactions to differ across parties? This article outlines research design for the statistical identification of party-varying issue within established paradigm Spatial Theory Voting. Using special feature conditional logit probit models – i.e. estimation alternative-specific coefficients instead fixed ‘generic’ distance effects it is possible detect asymmetrically...
Abstract Valence is a crucial concept in studying spatial voting and party competition. The widely adopted approach to rely on intercepts of vote choice models infer, based their size direction, how valence affects strategies empirical settings. suffers from fundamental statistical flaws. This contribution provides the fundamentals advance modeling valence. It proposes an appropriate interpret as valences alternate specifications parameterize effects
Abstract Which issue-related motives underlie voters’ decision to switch parties at the polls? Do switchers stick newly chosen party, or do they oscillate in a short-term way intermediate elections? Relying on behavioral theory of elections, we assumed aspiration-based voting boundedly rational voters. We elicited and stay an open-ended survey question format identify individual dominant aspirational frame. traced respondents’ trajectories over three consecutive including two state (2013...
Empirical applications of the spatial theory elections typically rely on discrete choice framework to arrive at probabilistic voting models. Whereas in classic model voter is solely a function proximity, neo-Downsian models also incorporate voter-specific nonpolicy attributes, which are represented by sociodemographic characteristics. One prominent line such models, Schofield’s Valence Model, additionally includes party valences into utility functions. The rests estimated intercepts measure...
Abstract Different voters behave differently at the polls, different students make university choices, or countries choose health care systems. Many research questions important to social scientists concern choice behavior, which involves dealing with nominal dependent variables. Drawing on principle of maximum random utility, we propose applying a flexible and general heterogeneous multinomial logit model study differences in behavior. The systematically accounts for heterogeneity that...
We present a theoretical framework that explains how European citizens form their preferences on EU integration, which is crucial aspect to understand the public support for advancement. Building theories of nation formation, we consider three distinct ideological cost functions measuring impact legislation national politics. These are categorized by degrees sophistication, ranging from low high. Low sophistication assumes defines an direction (left or right) member states. High combined...
The most analysed choice situation by electoral researchers is at the ballot box. In partially contested elections, such as in Britain or Spain, voters cannot vote for all parties every region constituency. We present a modelling approach to study rational voting behaviour that integrates heterogeneous ballots and takes numerous therein seriously. empirical application 2015 British Election demonstrates substantial insights not found when neglecting composition heterogeneity applying...
Empirical applications of spatial voting approaches frequently rely on ordinal policy scales to measure the preferences voters and their perceptions about party or candidate platforms. Even though it is well known that these placements are affected by uncertainty, only a few empirical voter choice models incorporate uncertainty into rule. In this manuscript, we develop two-stage approach further understanding how impacts issue voting. First, model survey responses where specific response...
