Some evidence on non-voting models in the spatial theory of electoral competition

Abstract

This paper presents an empirical analysis of two models of non-voting which Ordeshook and I incorporated into the spatial theory of electoral competition. We called these models abstention from alienation and abstention from indifference since our goal was to formalize established social-psychological hypotheses of non-voting. The data used in this paper is part of the 1968 election survey conducted by the University of Michigan's Survey Research Center.
