?:abstract
  • "Do voters use ballot paper information on the personal characteristics of political candidates as cues in low-information elections? Using a unique dataset containing 4423 political candidates from recent local elections in Germany, we show that candidates' occupations do play a decisive role in their electoral success. The occupational impact is far greater than gender or doctoral degree effects for a large number of occupations. We discuss two possible explanations for these "occupational effects": (a) an occupation's public reputation and (b) the extent to which individuals carrying out certain occupations are known within their communities. Looking at polls on the reputation/prestige of certain jobs, we find a strong correlation between an occupation's reputation and the electoral success of a candidate carrying out this occupation. Therefore, voters appear to use occupational reputation as a cue in low-information elections. Furthermore, our results suggest differences across political camps which might be explained using the social identity approach."Ergänzend zu dem genutzten Datensatz werden auch ALLBUS-Daten herangezogen, um zu zeigen, dass der Beruf der Wähler Einfluss auf deren Wahlentscheidung hat.
