Voter preferences and the changing dimensions and dynamics of economic wellbeing in the 21st Century.

新形式的数据开始彻底改变我们研究社会科学的方式。所谓的“大数据”是由政府部门，企业和其他组织产生的数据，这些数据为研究人员提供了资源（例如行政，商业和社交媒体数据）。这些类型的数据在政治学研究中的使用还处于起步阶段，但潜在的用途-特别是在政治行为研究中-是很多的。在这个提议的CASE学生奖学金中，我们将使用来自YouGov的“数据立方体”的数据，其中包含大量关于YouGov小组成员的信息，以调查经济投票的新维度。

New forms of data are beginning to revolutionise how we do social science. So called 'Big Data' are data that are generated by government departments, businesses and other organisations which provide a resource to researchers (e.g. administrative, commercial and social media data). The use of these types of data for research in political science is in its infancy yet the potential uses - particularly in studies of political behaviour - are many. In this proposed CASE studentship we will use data from YouGov's 'Data Cube', which contains large quantities of information about YouGov panel members to investigate new dimensions of economic voting.
