?:abstract
  • This paper presents a unified framework that allows us to disentangle to what extent agents in proportional representation systems engage in the different strategies that the available voting models have separately suggested: party-, coalition-, bandwagon- and `other'- voting. Results using data from multiple countries reveal that at least around 75% of agents cast a sincere party vote. Around 10% of them try to affect policy making by casting a coalitional vote. Coalitional voting seems to be directional: voters use it to `push' coalitions away from the center. Hence, extreme parties are the ones who benefit most from it. Another 5% of voters support the expected winner regardless of their own party and coalition preferences. Finally, consistently across countries, 5% to 10% of voters fall into the category of `other' types -i.e. they use strategies that our current models cannot rationalize. The socioeconomic characteristics and political attitudes of each type of voter are uncovered. Two patterns emerge: (i) sophisticated voters engage relatively more in both party and coalitional voting and (ii) dissatisfaction with parties voted for in the past leads agents into casting an 'other' type vote irrespective of their degree of sophistication.
