The proposed research explores the broader comparative relevance of the literature on economic voting by moving outside of the North Atlantic basin to focus on newer democracies and less stable economic contexts. Drawing on both individual- and aggregate-level data, the research tests hypotheses about economic voting at the national and sub-national levels of government in three major countries of Latin America. The central working hypothesis is that voters in Latin America are sensitive to macroeconomic fluctuations and punish or reward governments accordingly, but that the propensity toward economic voting varies with macroeconomic context and institutional conditions. The several components of the proposed research project are designed to contribute to theoretical work on economic voting, enhance our understanding of the functioning of democracy at both the national and sub-national level in contemporary Latin America, and establish a stronger theoretical basis for understanding the ways in which variations in the structure of party competition and macroeconomic volatility condition political behavior.

拟议的研究探讨了更广泛的比较相关的文献经济投票的北大西洋盆地以外的重点放在较新的民主国家和不太稳定的经济环境。 利用个人和总体层面的数据，研究测试在国家和次国家一级的政府在拉丁美洲的三个主要国家的经济投票的假设。 核心工作假设是，拉丁美洲的选民对宏观经济波动很敏感，并相应地惩罚或奖励政府，但对经济投票的倾向因宏观经济背景和制度条件而异。 拟议的研究项目的几个组成部分的目的是促进经济投票的理论工作，提高我们对民主的运作在国家和次国家一级在当代拉丁美洲的理解，并建立一个更强大的理论基础，以了解在政党竞争和宏观经济波动的结构条件的政治行为的变化的方式。
