Economic perceptions, vote choice, and the 2011 Saskatchewan Election

2013 January 1900 (has links)
The 2011 Saskatchewan Election saw a landslide victory for The Saskatchewan Party. They also achieved this victory during a time in which the province was experiencing economic revitalization. Past studies have suggested that incumbents are rewarded for good economic times. As such, the 2011 Saskatchewan election provides for a good case study that aims to understand if perceptions of the economy influenced Saskatchewan residents vote choice at that time. Using data collected from the 2011 Saskatchewan Election Study, this thesis has found that retrospective sociotropic and egocentric perceptions of the economy did have a small direct role in influencing vote choice during the election. However, this thesis also found that once leadership opinions of Brad Wall were added to the statistical analysis these perceptions became insignificant. Interestingly, the same economic perceptions were found to make up a part of Wall’s leadership evaluation. With leadership evaluations being the largest determinant of vote choice, this thesis found that economic perceptions did play a role in the 2011 Saskatchewan Election, albeit in a roundabout way.

Arbetslöshet och högerpopulism : En undersökning av deras korrelation och potentiella kausalitetssamband

Sjönell, Daniel January 2020 (has links)
Efter finanskrisen 2008 ökade både arbetslöshet och högerpopulism på flera håll i Europa. I denna studie undersöks sambandet mellan arbetslöshet och högerpopulism med målet att avgöra om sambandet är kausalt. Med två olika beroende variabler för stöd samt röstning på högerpopulistiska partier, och tre olika nivåer på arbetslöshet som oberoende variabler, undersöks sambandet med en difference-in-difference analys med två års data över finanskrisen, där första perioden är precis innan krisen och andra perioden precis efter. Resultatet visar att arbetslöshet på landsnivå har en kausal positiv effekt på röstningsandelar för högerpopulistiska partier, vilket antyder att det är ”sociotropic voting” som är mekanismen genom vilken arbetslösheten påverkar högerpopulistiskt röstande.
