分配不当是威权国家和民主国家广泛使用的选举操纵工具。尽管其对选举和政策结果的影响受到了学术界的广泛关注,但分配不当对选举参与的影响却被忽视了。部分原因是很难将分配不当对选举参与的影响与其他因素分开。据我所知,这项研究是第一个探讨分配不当对选举参与的影响的研究。我利用日本参议院选举法的独特性,避免了方法论问题。使用日本参议院选举的原始数据集并采用双重差分设计,我的结果表明,分配不当会增加选民投票率(平均增加 2.9 个百分点,最高可达 8.0 个百分点)。因此,这项研究为选举法和政治参与方面的文献做出了贡献,为分配不当对选民投票率的影响提供了强有力的证据,并表明某些形式的选举操纵可以增加选民投票率。
Malapportionment is a widely used tool of electoral manipulation in both authoritarian and democratic countries. Although its impact on electoral and policy outcomes has received considerable scholarly attention, the impact of malapportionment on electoral participation has been neglected. This is partly because it is difficult to isolate the effect of malapportionment on electoral participation from that of other factors. To the best of my knowledge, this study is the first to examine the effect of malapportionment on electoral participation. I avoid the methodological problem by taking advantage of the unique characteristics of Japan's upper house election laws. Using an original dataset on Japan's upper house elections and employing a differences-in-differences design, my results show that malapportionment increases voter turnout (by an average of 2.9 percentage points and up to 8.0 percentage points). This study therefore contributes to the literature on election laws and political participation by providing strong evidence for the effect of malapportionment on voter turnout and showing that some forms of electoral manipulation can increase voter turnout.
