A Bottom-Up Approach for Ecological Inference
The ecological inference canonical problem in the social sciences consists of estimating the unobserved internal counts of a global RxC table from the known margins of a set of units. This paper proposes a new, computation-based strategy designed to better exploit the information contained in the unit margins. This approach can be integrated into any ecological inference method that explicitly estimates unit tables and accounts for differences in…
Authoritarian personalism, institutional constraints, and plebiscitary rule
The Effect of Referendums on Autocratic Survival: Running Alone and Not Finishing Second
Dictatorships that use plebiscites – that is, referendums initiated by the executive – have a longer expected lifespan. A successful plebiscite sends a signal that makes coordination for collective action more difficult and induces the falsification of preferences. It also enhances the status of the dictator within the regime and against potential rivals through the use of agenda power. As a result, plebiscites are followed by decreased mobilizat…
An ecological inference approach to the origins of proportional representation
Facing a prospective majority of socialists during the early third of the 20th century, some secular conservative and liberal parties pooled their votes to raise the majority threshold for the left, while others raised it by enacting some form of proportional representation. We use vote transfers, estimated by a new method of ecological inference, to explain those far-reaching choices. We provide a new conceptualization and measurement of the seg…
Plebiscites: A Tool for Dictatorship
The comparative study of authoritarianism has neglected plebiscites, and the comparative study of referendums tends to see in them a form of direct democracy regardless of the regime. We conceptualize dictatorial plebiscites as a genuine authoritarian tool, as part of a repressive strategy with the objective of hindering internal regime rivals and discouraging the coordination of the external opposition. We provide empirical evidence from dictato…
Ventaja de género en los distritos uninominales: Las elecciones en México de 2012
Los datos de las elecciones de México en 2012 demuestran que, en competición en distritos uninominales, los hombres obtienen ventaja electoral sobre las mujeres. Esto no obedece ni a la distinta experiencia ni al sesgo en los partidos en la selección de candidatas, por lo que este trabajo concluye que se trata de un sesgo de los votantes. También se constata la existencia de sesgo de género dentro de cada partido en el emplazamiento de candidatas…
España: Crisis Y Recortes
ES] La crisis econ?mica que sufre Espa?a desde 2008 ha derivado en 2012 en un escenario de crisis social, crisis de representaci?n pol?tica, y p?rdida de calidad de la democracia. Las pol?ticas p?blicas que el gobierno de Mariano Rajoy ha dise?ado, en su primer a?o de gobierno y bajo tutela europea, han estado dominadas por la austeridad y los recortes. estas pol?ticas han provocado un incremento del desempleo, las movilizaciones ciudadanas y las…
