The Politics of Consumption Taxes: Globalization and the Median Voter
The regressive nature of consumption taxes poses a challenge to partisan theory. Using data for up to 20 OECD countries in the period 1970-2003 this article aims to explore the question of whether the idea that social democratic governments typically have to compromise on policy goals and core constituency interests to make themselves more appealing to the median voter necessitates the use of r...
متن کاملIdentifying the median justice on the Supreme Court through multidimensional scaling : Analysis of “ natural courts
Given the fundamental unidimensionality in the data on Supreme Court voting patterns 1951–1993 we observe, we are able to determine the identity of “median” members of each court in a fashion that does not require subjective coding of the extent to which particular cases reflect left-right issues. Also, while the exact numerical values of MDS-obtained locations cannot be compared across differe...
متن کاملThe Median Is the Message : toward the Fréchet Median
One could argue that the long-standing controversy over the relative merits of the median and mean is something of a touchstone of early statistics. The touchstone of medieval alchemy was basonite, a variety of quartz used to test the purity of gold alloys ; striking an alloy against the surface of the stone revealed the quality of the alloy by the color of the mark left on the stone. Likewise,...
متن کاملOn Median Graphs and Median Grid Graphs on Median Graphs and Median Grid Graphs
Let e be an edge of a median graph G which is contained in exactly one 4-cycle. Then it is proved that G n e is a median graph. The converse holds as well provided that e is not contained is a subgraph isomorphic to the 3-cube minus a vertex. These results are used to give several characterizations of median grid graphs. (Grid graphs are subgraphs of complete grids, i.e. of the Cartesian produc...
متن کاملA On Uniform Capacitated k-Median Beyond the Natural LP Relaxation
In this paper, we study the uniform capacitated k-median problem. In the problem, we are given a set F of potential facility locations, a set C of clients, a metric d over F ∪ C, an upper bound k on the number of facilities we can open and an upper bound u on the number of clients each facility can serve. We need to open a subset S ⊆ F of k facilities and connect clients in C to facilities in S...
