本文证明,选举权的扩大对公共产品的提供和再分配有积极的影响。然而,这种影响取决于国家内部的政治制度背景,即选举制度和否决点的存在。由于多数主义制度会激励更有针对性的支出,因此会降低选举权扩大对公共产品供应的积极影响。通过扩大选举权来重新安置中间选民并不会导致更多的重新分配,因为拥有否决权的第二院会削弱工人阶级引发政策变革的权力。通过利用 1880 年至 1938 年间 11 个西欧国家的政府支出和遗产税数据进行双重差分估计,分析选举权扩大的条件效应,为这一论点提供了实证支持。这些发现强调了在评估民主化的决定因素和后果时考虑政治制度的重要性。
In this article, it is demonstrated that suffrage extension positively affects public goods provision and redistribution. This effect, however, depends on the political-institutional context within countries – namely the electoral system and the existence of veto points. Since they incentivise more targeted spending, majoritarian systems decrease the positive effect that suffrage extension has on public goods provision. The relocation of the median voter through suffrage extension does not lead to more redistribution where second chambers with veto rights reduce the power of the working class to induce policy change. Empirical support is provided for this argument by analysing the conditional effects of suffrage extension through difference-in-difference estimation utilising data on government spending and inheritance taxation in eleven Western European countries between 1880 and 1938. These findings emphasise the importance of taking into account political institutions when assessing the determinants and consequences of democratisation.
