Abstract

This paper explores the empirical relationship between local economic conditions, social capital, and individual characteristics on the one hand and satisfaction with democracy on the other hand, using detailed information from the German Socio-Economic Panel. In contrast to previous literature, we focus on economic conditions at the state level instead of the national one. We find that local economic conditions, proxies of social capital, and individual characteristics (e.g., risk attitude, reciprocity, past unemployment experience) are important correlates of satisfaction with democracy and that some heterogeneity between genders, West and East Germany, and people with and without college degree exists in the data.

利用当地经济条件、社会资本和个人特征预测德国的民主满意度
本文利用德国社会经济小组(German Socio-Economics Panel)的详细信息,探讨了地方经济条件、社会资本和个人特征与民主满意度之间的经验关系。与以往文献不同的是,我们关注的是州一级的经济状况,而不是国家一级的经济状况。我们发现,地方经济条件、社会资本的代用指标和个人特征(如风险态度、互惠性、过去的失业经历)是民主满意度的重要相关因素,而且数据中存在性别、西德和东德、有大学学位和没有大学学位的人之间的一些异质性。

期刊介绍: Economics of Governance aims to foster research on governance at many levels: corporations, non-profit organizations, local and federal governments, and international organizations. Applications include the internal organization of firms, corporate governance, the private provision of public goods, local public policies, relations across levels of government, public expenditure and regulation, and problems of credibility and enforcement of international agreements. Though the journal aims to contribute to general economic knowledge, it is also interested in applying theoretical and empirical insights to important current topics. The journal is open to many approaches, including formal theoretical analysis, systematic observation, simulation, and empirical studies. Interdisciplinary contributions by economists, organizational scholars, and political scientists are encouraged. Officially cited as: Econ Gov
