"Voters and Voting in Context investigates the role of context in affecting political opinion formation and voting behaviour. Building on a model of contextual effects on individual-level voter behaviour, the chapters of this volume explore contextual effects in Germany in the early twenty-first century. The volume draws upon manifold combinations of individual and contextual information gathered in the German Longitudinal Election Study (GLES) framework and employ advanced methods. In substantive terms, it investigates the impact of campaign communication on political learning, effects of media coverage on the perceived importance of political problems, and the role of electoral competition on candidate strategies and perceptions. It also examines the role of social and economic contexts as well as parties' policy stances in affecting electoral turnout. The volume explores the impact of social cues on candidate voting, effects of electoral arenas on vote functions, the role of media coverage on ideological voting, and effects of campaign communication on the timing of electoral decision-making. Voters and Voting in Context demonstrates the key role of the processes of communication and politicization in bringing about contextual effects. Context thus plays a nuanced role in voting behaviour. The contingency of contextual effects suggests that they will become an important topic in research on political behaviour and democratic politics."--

This paper presents an agent-based model of political competition over multiple heterogeneous electoral districts. Both the positions of district candidates and those of their national parties are endogenously determined and allowed to differ. Candidates are free to choose their position at the district level, but their success in elections also depends on the position of the national party. The ideological space is two-dimensional, thus advancing the results of previous models of electoral competition over multiple districts, which have only analyzed the case of a single policy dimension. In each district, candidates from two national parties compete in plurality elections. Voters' utility depends on both the distance between their ideal position and the position of the candidates, as well as the distance between their ideal position and the position of the candidates' party in congress. After each election, the policy positions of the national parties are determined as the median of the positions of their successful district candidates. If the candidates' vote share increased in the previous election, they make a small move in the same direction they came from; if their vote share decreased, they move in the opposite direction. The results show that neither national parties nor local candidates converge to the same position in the policy space. In the long run, candidates try to balance district preferences against the position of their party. The extent to which they tend to satisfy their district voters at the expense of the national party is positively related to the weight voters place on candidate positions, as opposed to national party positions. Incumbency turnover is higher where voters value the positions of national parties more, and where the districts are more homogenous.

This paper considers a model of elections in which parties compete simultaneously for multiple districts. I show that if districts are heterogeneous, then a unique two-party equilibrium exists under plurality rule in which further entry is deterred. The equilibrium requires that parties choose noncentrist policy platforms and not converge to the ideal policy of the median voter. These characteristics are consistent with empirical observation, in contrast to those of single-district models. Necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of the equilibrium are then characterized and related to Duverger's law. The existence of multiple-party equilibria in this environment is also considered.

"This dissertation analyzes the strategic incentives faced by voters and candidates in a common-value election setting, assuming a continuous distribution of expertise. Chapter 1 focuses on voters' participation incentives, given two fixed alternatives. As in the influential model of Feddersen and Pesendorfer (1996), relatively uninformed citizens abstain strategically in equilibrium, delegating to those with better information, providing an explanation for the otherwise difficult empirical correlation between information and voting, as well as the puzzling phenomenon of roll-off. Moderately informed citizens continue to vote, however, because a desire to inform the electoral decision, as in the Condorcet (1785) jury theorem, mitigates the swing voter's curse. In large electorates, these incentives balance one another to predict turnout levels close to 50% of the electorate, unlike existing strategic voting models, which invariably predict either unrealistically high or low levels of turnout. Chapter 2 finds strong empirical evidence of strategic abstention, using proxies of information quality such as education, age, and political knowledge: a citizen's own information makes her more likely to vote, but that the information of others within her electorate makes her more likely to abstain. Chapter 3 generalizes the model of Chapter 1 to allow an entire continuum of policy alternatives. Heterogeneous beliefs among risk-averse voters produce single- peaked preferences over the policy interval, as in standard models. A standard median voter theorem arises if candidates are office-motivated and platform commitments are binding, though the common welfare argument in favor of political compromise does not apply in this setting. If candidates are policy-motivated then equilibrium platforms instead diverge, in response to informative voting. Vote totals are also informative: if platform commitments are not binding then a winning candidate responds to electoral mandates, becoming more extreme after a landslide victory, or more moderate after winning only narrowly. Votes for minor candidates also influence policy, even when these candidates are unlikely to win the election. The logic of the swing voter's curse no longer applies, but uninformed citizens nevertheless abstain in equilibrium, to avoid a signaling voter's curse of exerting too strong an influence on policy. Consistent with empirical evidence, then, ideologically extreme citizens are the most informed, and also the most likely to vote"--Leaves v-vi.
