我们依靠德国联邦黑森州废除地方选举 5% 的选举门槛的改革来研究选举门槛对政治代表性的影响。平均而言,取消门槛对议会规模较大的市镇影响更大,因为隐性(也称为有效)选举门槛与议会规模成反比。我们使用包含 1989 年至 2011 年期间所有 426 个黑森州城市的数据集,并利用州法律中的不连续性将人口外生地映射到议会规模,我们实施了不连续性差异设计。我们的结果表明,改革产生了巨大的心理影响,最终改善了(相对较小的)地方政党的选举前景。然而,在短期内,全国性大政党的选票和席位份额有所增加。我们对此发现提供一些解释。
We rely on a reform in the German federal state of Hesse that abolished a 5 % electoral threshold for local elections to study the effects of electoral thresholds on political representation. The elimination of the threshold had, on average, a stronger effect on municipalities with larger councils sinceimplicit(also known aseffective) electoral thresholds are inversely correlated with council size. Using a dataset that includes all 426 Hessian municipalities over the period 1989–2011 and exploiting discontinuities in a state law that maps populations exogenously to council size, we implement a difference-in-discontinuities design. Our results show that the reform had large psychological effects that eventually improved the electoral prospects of (relatively small) local parties. In the short-run, however, the vote and seat shares of the large national parties increased. We offer some explanations for this finding.
