Electoral Competition and Partisan Policy Feedbacks∗
We study dynamic electoral competition with partisan policy feedbacks (a situation in which a policy systematically affects the electorate’s future political preferences) in a public finance environment. Two parties with diverging preferences over redistribution choose socially undesirable levels of public employment because employment status systematically affects a citizen’s beliefs about red...
متن کاملMultiparty electoral competition in the Netherlands and Germany: A model based on multinomial probit
A typical assumption of electoral models of party competition is that parties adopt policy positions so as to maximize expected vote share. Here we use Euro-barometer survey data and European elite-study data from 1979 for the Netherlands and Germany to construct a stochastic model of voter response, based on multinomial probit estimation. For each of these countries, we estimate a pure spatial...
متن کاملSymmetric Bayesian Multinomial Probit Models
Standard Bayesian multinomial probit (MNP) models that are fit using different base categories can give different predictions. Therefore, we propose the symmetric MNP model, which does not make reference to a base category. To achieve this, we employ novel sum-to-zero identifying restrictions on the latent utilities and regression coefficients that define the model. This results in a model whos...
متن کاملA Bayesian Mixed Logit-Probit Model for Multinomial Choice
In this paper we introduce a new flexible mixed model for multinomial discrete choice where the key individualand alternative-specific parameters of interest are allowed to follow an assumptionfree nonparametric density specification while other alternative-specific coefficients are assumed to be drawn from a multivariate normal distribution which eliminates the independence of irrelevant alter...
متن کاملVariational Bayesian Multinomial Probit Regression with Gaussian Process Priors
It is well known in the statistics literature that augmenting binary and polychotomous response models with gaussian latent variables enables exact Bayesian analysis viaGibbs sampling from the parameter posterior. By adopting such a data augmentation strategy, dispensing with priors over regression coefficients in favor of gaussian process (GP) priors over functions, and employing variational a...
