D'Alimonte R., Bartolini S. (a cura di), Maggioritario per caso. Le elezioni politiche del 1996, Bologna, Il Mulino, 1997. ISBN 978-88-15-05786-0 A due anni dalle "rivoluzionarie" elezioni del 1994, nell'aprile del 1996 il nuovo sistema elettorale italiano - maggioritario ma non troppo - è stato di nuovo chiamato alla prova. Il voto ha prodotto tre dati sorprendenti: una maggioranza alla Camea e al Senato; la stessa maggioranza in entrambe le Camere; una maggioranza completamente diversa da quella di centro-destra emersa nel 1994 e presto disgregatasi. Il volume fornisce un'analisi completa e dettagliata della campagna elettorale e dei risultati del voto, cogliendo ciò che...

Segnalazione bibliografica. National Bureau of Economic Research (2009), working paper n. 15365 Autori: Alan S. Gerber, Gregory A. Huber, Ebonya Washington Abstract Political partisanship is strongly correlated with attitudes and behavior, but it is unclear from this pattern whether partisan identity has a causal effect on political behavior and attitudes.

Prior to the February 2008 Connecticut presidential primary, researchers sent a mailing to a random sample of unaffiliated registered voters informing them of the need to register in order to participate in the upcoming primary. Comparing post-treatment survey...

Segnalazione bibliografica. American Political Science Review 01 August 2011 105: 552-566 Autori: Timothy Besley; Marta Reynal-Querol Abstract This paper uses a unique data set on over 1,400 world leaders between 1848 and 2004 to investigate differences in educational qualifications between leaders who are selected in democracies and autocracies. After including country and year fixed effects, we find that democracies are around 20% more likely to select highly educated leaders. This finding is robust to a wide range of specifications, choices of subsamples, controls, and ways of measuring education and democracy.

Aldo Paparo, Lorenzo De Sio, Mathilde van Ditmars As seen in the analysis by Emanuele, De Sio and van Ditmars, the survey data we collected on Dutch public opinion includes data on agreement and priority of a series of important policy goals. By looking at those we were able to map the general state of Dutch public opinion and the structure of opportunity on various issue dimensions. However, the data we collected also include information concerning the credibility of each of the different parties. Basically, respondents were asked to indicate all parties that they considered credible to achieve a particular...
