Firms and politicians, among others, invest heavily to influence people’s opinions. Because peers influence one another, these efforts must account for social networks. Using a model of opinion dynamics with a non-degenerate steady state, I develop a new measure of influence, and I highlight how opinion fluctuations impact influence campaigns. If agents interact less frequently with those holding different opinions, the variance of public opinion decreases. Consequently, a risk-averse planner focuses on persuading a large majority of agents in a small set of tightly knit groups, while a risk-loving planner makes much broader appeals. (JEL D11, D72, D83, D85, Z13)
公司和政治家,以及其他人,投入巨资来影响人们的意见。因为同伴之间相互影响,这些努力必须考虑到社会网络。使用非退化稳态的意见动态模型,我开发了一种新的影响力衡量标准,并强调了意见波动如何影响影响力运动。如果代理人与持不同意见的人互动较少,公众意见的差异就会减小。因此,规避风险的规划者专注于说服一小部分紧密结合的群体中的大多数代理人,而热爱风险的规划者则吸引更广泛的人。(凝胶d11, d72, d83, d85, z13)

Cell Phone Access and Election Fraud: Evidence from a Spatial Regression Discontinuity Design in Afghanistan 手机接入与选举舞弊:来自阿富汗空间回归不连续设计的证据
Pub Date : 2020-03-25 DOI: 10.2139/ssrn.3561120

This paper examines the impact of cell phone access on election fraud. I combine cell phone coverage maps with the location of polling centers during the 2009 Afghan presidential election to pinpoint which centers were exposed to coverage. Results from a spatial regression discontinuity design along the two-dimensional coverage boundary suggest that coverage deters corrupt behavior. Polling centers just inside coverage report a drop in the share of fraudulent votes of 4 percentage points, while the likelihood of a fraudulent station decreases by 8 percentage points. Analyses of the effect of coverage on citizen participation in election monitoring, election-related insurgent violence, and the tribal composition of villages suggest that the observed declines in fraud are likely attributed to cell phone access strengthening social monitoring capacity. (JEL D72, K16, K42, O17, Z13)
本文考察了手机接入对选举舞弊的影响。我将2009年阿富汗总统选举期间的手机覆盖地图与投票中心的位置结合起来,以确定哪些中心受到了覆盖。沿二维覆盖边界的空间回归不连续设计结果表明,覆盖阻止了腐败行为。在报道范围内的投票中心报告说,欺诈投票的比例下降了4个百分点,而欺诈站的可能性下降了8个百分点。对覆盖范围对公民参与选举监督、与选举有关的叛乱暴力以及村庄部落构成的影响的分析表明,观察到的欺诈行为下降可能归因于手机接入增强了社会监督能力。(jel d72, k16, k42, o17, z13)

S. McGuinness, A. Bergin
Given the increased prominence of a border poll in Ireland, particularly following the outcome of the Brexit referendum, this paper provides an initial assessment of some of the issues that are likely to become central in any debate on this issue. We examine the relative income and growth position of Northern Ireland within a UK and Irish regional framework over time. We further compare, and contrast, in detail aspects of the structure of both economies on the island of Ireland in the areas of educational attainment, trade orientation and the role of Foreign Direct Investment. The paper goes on to analyse other relevant issues, such as the relative strength and weaknesses of the healthcare systems and the factors determining the potential economic cost of Irish unification. The objective of the research is to initiate an evidence-based approach to the question of a border poll and to provide an initial indication of the breadth of detail and analysis required for any debate to proceed in a meaningful manner.
鉴于爱尔兰边境民意调查日益突出,特别是在英国脱欧公投结果之后,本文提供了一些可能成为该问题任何辩论中心的问题的初步评估。随着时间的推移,我们研究了北爱尔兰在英国和爱尔兰地区框架内的相对收入和增长地位。我们进一步比较和对比了爱尔兰岛上两国经济结构在教育程度、贸易方向和外国直接投资作用等方面的细节。本文接着分析了其他相关问题,如医疗保健系统的相对优势和劣势,以及决定爱尔兰统一潜在经济成本的因素。这项研究的目的是对边界民意调查问题采取一种循证的方法,并初步指出任何辩论以有意义的方式进行所需的详细情况和分析的广度。

US–Brazilian Cotton Policies 美巴棉花政策
Pub Date : 2020-02-19 DOI: 10.1111/twec.12941
S. Devadoss, Jeff Luckstead
Brazil filed a lawsuit with the WTO against the United States for providing cotton production and export subsidies, and the WTO ruled in favour of Brazil. Brazil threatened to impose retaliatory tariffs if the United States does not comply with the WTO rulings. After a prolonged litigation stretching from 2002 to 2010, both countries agreed to a negotiated settlement wherein the United States paid Brazilian cotton producers to compensate for any adverse effects. This study develops a political economic model to theoretically analyse US cotton policies, Brazil's threat of retaliatory tariffs and the negotiated settlement between the two countries. The theoretical results show that the volume of cotton output, supply price response, politicians' apathy for the public welfare, elasticities of excess supply/demand and the magnitude of US transfers play a crucial role in determining US policies. This study contributes to the literature by being the first to model political economic aspects of the complex system of trade and domestic policies in the cotton industry using a three‐country framework, tariff retaliation and transfers between the countries.
巴西向世贸组织提起诉讼,反对美国提供棉花生产和出口补贴,世贸组织做出了有利于巴西的裁决。巴西威胁说,如果美国不遵守世贸组织的裁决,它将征收报复性关税。在2002年至2010年的漫长诉讼之后,两国同意通过谈判达成和解,美国向巴西棉花生产商支付赔偿,以补偿任何不利影响。本研究建立了一个政治经济模型,从理论上分析美国的棉花政策、巴西报复性关税的威胁以及两国之间的谈判解决方案。理论结果表明,棉花产量、供给价格反应、政治家对公共福利的冷漠、过剩供给/需求的弹性和美国转移支付的规模在决定美国政策方面起着至关重要的作用。本研究首次使用三国框架、关税报复和国家间转移对棉花行业复杂的贸易和国内政策系统的政治经济方面进行了建模,从而为文献做出了贡献。

Dyadic Representation in Parliamentary Democracy with Disciplined Legislative Parties in Japan 日本有纪律的立法政党在议会民主中的二元代表制
Pub Date : 2020-02-18 DOI: 10.2139/ssrn.3320439
Michio Umeda
This paper examines basic but very important questions in the democratic process: do individual candidates represent the will of their own district constituency, even in a parliamentary system with well-disciplined legislative parties? The answer is clearly yes: this paper demonstrates dyadic representation, or the link between the policy preference of the constituencies and their representatives in the Japanese Lower House. I also demonstrate that constituencies provide more votes to candidates who better represent their preferences, which would strengthen the link by electing those better fulfilling the responsibility.
本文考察了民主进程中基本但非常重要的问题:即使在一个纪律严明的立法政党组成的议会制度下,个别候选人是否代表了自己选区选民的意愿?答案显然是肯定的:本文证明了二元代表,即选区的政策偏好与其在日本众议院的代表之间的联系。我也指出,选民会把更多的选票投给更能代表他们喜好的候选人,从而使更能履行责任的候选人当选,从而加强两者的联系。

Conceptualizing the Impact of Digital Interference in Elections: A Framework and Agenda for Future Research 概念化数字干预选举的影响:未来研究的框架和议程
Pub Date : 2020-02-10 DOI: 10.2139/ssrn.3536281

Concerns over digital interference in elections are widespread. Yet evidence of its impact is still thin and fragmented. How do malicious uses of social media shape, transform, and distort democratic processes? And how should we characterize this impact? Existing research into the effects of social media manipulation has largely focused on measuring its purported impact on opinion swings and voting behavior. Though laudable, this focus might be too reductive. Drawing on normative theories of liberal democracy, this paper argues that the threat of digital interference techniques lies beyond their capacity to change individuals’ political viewpoints and demonstrates how social media manipulation may undermine popular perceptions of electoral integrity, with potentially far-reaching consequences for public trust. Following this assessment, a preliminary research agenda is formulated, highlighting previously overlooked relationships that can be explored to better understand how malicious uses of social media might shape such attitudes and to what effect.
对数字干预选举的担忧普遍存在。然而,有关其影响的证据仍然薄弱且支离破碎。恶意使用社交媒体是如何塑造、改变和扭曲民主进程的?我们应该如何描述这种影响?对社交媒体操纵影响的现有研究主要集中在衡量其对民意波动和投票行为的所谓影响上。虽然值得称赞,但这种关注可能过于简化了。借鉴自由民主的规范理论,本文认为,数字干扰技术的威胁超出了它们改变个人政治观点的能力,并展示了社交媒体操纵如何破坏公众对选举完整性的看法,对公众信任产生潜在的深远影响。在此评估之后,制定了初步研究议程,突出了以前被忽视的关系,可以更好地了解恶意使用社交媒体如何塑造这种态度以及产生什么影响。

Winnowing and Endorsing: Separating the Two Distinct Functions of Party Primaries 甄选与支持:党内初选的两种不同功能的分离
Pub Date : 2020-02-01 DOI: 10.1017/9781108883870.005
E. Foley
This chapter of an edited volume on presidential primaries focuses on the relationship of the primaries to the general election. It does not suffice that the rules are sound for each stage of the overall electoral system considered separately. Instead, the relationship of the two stages must also be sound for the overall system to be coherent. The chapter analyzes this relationship by examining the possibility of a “bolt” from a brokered convention, as occurred in 1912 when ex-president Theodore Roosevelt launched his separate Progressive Party (“Bull Moose”) candidacy after losing his bid for the GOP nomination. The chapter considers the hypothetical possibility that something similar might occur in the context of the 2020 Democratic Party primary, where deep ideological divisions between two wings of the party have become evident. If Democrats are internally torn between progressives and moderates, what is the relationship between this internal party split and the general presidential election that inevitably must follow? The chapter considers whether the use of Ranked Choice Voting in the general election and eliminating so-called “sore loser” laws, to permit the losing candidate of a divisive primary election to run in the general election as an independent candidate, would provide a more coherent relationship between the two stages of the overall process than what currently exists.
这一章是关于总统初选的编辑卷,重点是初选与大选的关系。单独考虑整个选举制度的每一阶段,规则健全是不够的。相反,这两个阶段的关系也必须是健全的,这样整个系统才能连贯。本章分析了这种关系,考察了从协商会议中“退出”的可能性,就像1912年发生的那样,当时前总统西奥多·罗斯福(Theodore Roosevelt)在竞选共和党提名失败后,发起了他单独的进步党(“公牛驼鹿”)候选人资格。本章考虑了一种假设的可能性,即在2020年民主党初选的背景下,类似的事情可能会发生,在民主党的两个派别之间,深刻的意识形态分歧已经变得明显。如果民主党内部分裂为进步派和温和派,那么这种党内分裂与不可避免的大选之间的关系是什么?这一章考虑的是,在大选中使用排序选择投票制和取消所谓的“输不了的人”法律,允许在分裂的初选中失败的候选人以独立候选人的身份参加大选,是否会在整个过程的两个阶段之间提供比目前存在的更连贯的关系。

We synthesize the literature on the recent rise of populism. First, we discuss definitions and present descriptive evidence on the recent increase in support for populists. Second, we cover the historical evolution of populist regimes since the late nineteenth century. Third, we discuss the role of secular economic factors related to cross-border trade and automation. Fourth, we review studies on the role of the 2008–09 global financial crisis and subsequent austerity, connect them to historical work covering the Great Depression, and discuss likely mechanisms. Fifth, we discuss studies on identity politics, trust, and cultural backlash. Sixth, we discuss economic and cultural consequences of growth in immigration and the recent refugee crisis. We also discuss the gap between perceptions and reality regarding immigration. Seventh, we review studies on the impact of the internet and social media. Eighth, we discuss the literature on the implications of populism’s recent rise. We conclude outlining avenues for further research. (JEL D72, E32, G01, J15, N30, N40, Z13)

Vote Trading in Power-Sharing Systems: A Laboratory Investigation 权力分享系统中的投票交易:一项实验室研究
Pub Date : 2020-01-30 DOI: 10.2139/ssrn.3261141
Nikolas Tsakas, Dimitrios Xefteris, Nicholas Ziros
Vote trading in power-sharing systems—i.e., systems in which a voter’s utility with respect to the election’s outcome is proportional to the vote share of her favourite party—is, in theory, welfare improving. However, trading votes for money in majoritarian systems may have detrimental welfare effects, especially when voters’ preference intensities are similar (Casella et al., 2012). We use a laboratory experiment to test the effect of vote trading in each of these popular electoral systems on voter welfare and find strong evidence in support of the above intuitions: vote trading in power-sharing systems boosts aggregate welfare across all considered specifications, but it is not welfare improving in majoritarian systems. Importantly, and contrary to theoretical predictions, a substantial share of subjects consistently loses from vote trading even in power-sharing systems, indicating that its welfare effects are not unambiguous.
权力分享系统中的投票交易。在美国,如果选民对选举结果的效用与其所支持政党的得票比例成正比,那么从理论上讲,这种制度会改善福利。然而,在多数制度下,用选票换金钱可能会对福利产生不利影响,尤其是当选民的偏好强度相似时(Casella et al., 2012)。我们使用实验室实验来测试这些受欢迎的选举制度中的选票交易对选民福利的影响,并找到了支持上述直觉的有力证据:权力分享制度中的选票交易在所有考虑的规范中都提高了总福利,但在多数主义制度中并没有改善福利。重要的是,与理论预测相反的是,即使在权力分享制度下,也有相当一部分人一直在投票交易中失利,这表明其福利效应并非明确无疑。
