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.

拟议的研究探讨了文献对经济投票的更广泛的比较相关性，通过在北大西洋盆地外移动，专注于新的民主国家和不稳定的经济环境。 该研究测试借鉴了个人和总体级别的数据，在拉丁美洲三个主要国家 /地区的国家和以下政府层面上进行了关于经济投票的假设。 中心工作的假设是，拉丁美洲的选民对宏观经济的波动敏感，并予以惩罚或奖励政府，但经济投票的倾向随宏观经济的背景和制度条件而变化。 拟议的研究项目的几个组成部分旨在为经济投票的理论工作做出贡献，增强我们对当代拉丁美洲国家和次国家层面在民主和次国家层面的功能的理解，并为理解党派竞争结构和宏观经济波动性的结构的变化而建立更强的理论基础。
