متن کاملHabitual Voting and Behavioral Turnout

Moreover, the assumption causes individuals to engage in casual voting (sometimes people vote and sometime...
متن کاملAltruism, Turnout and Strategic Voting Behavior
We consider the problem of costly voting in a game-theoretic framework where agents are altruistic. We show that if, as usual, agentstypes are assumed to be independently and identically distributed, the classical theorem of Thomas R. Palfrey and Howard Rosenthal (1985) on the impossibility of large-scale turnout essentially survives, despite the introduction of altruism. We solve this problem...
متن کاملExpected Benefits of Voting and Voter Turnout
This empirical study seeks to identify key aggregate-level economic and non-economic determinants of the expected benefits from voting and hence aggregate voter turnout. A unique dimension of this study is the hypothesis that PAC (political action committee) election campaign contributions, e.g., to U.S. Senate races, may reduce the expected benefits of voting and hence voter turnout because th...
