The spatial range of public goods revealed through referendum voting
Billions of dollars are now spent annually in the United States and Europe for spatially delineated environmental services such as agricultural landscape management and river restoration programs, yet little is known about the spatial distribution of the benefits from these policies. This paper develops a framework for recovering information on this question from the spatial pattern of votes ca...
متن کاملDynamical Convergence in the Euclidean Spatial Model
The -core in Euclidean spatial voting is the set of points that cannot be dislodged by a point more than closer to a simple majority of voter ideal points. If is greater than the yolk radius of the set, then the -core is nonempty. If exceeds twice the yolk radius, then there are no global intransitivities and any sequence of proposals starting from x will reach the -core from x in at most ||x||...
متن کاملInferring Population Preferences via Mixtures of Spatial Voting Models
Understanding political phenomena requires measuring the political preferences of society. We introduce a model based on mixtures of spatial voting models that infers the underlying distribution of political preferences of voters with only voting records of the population and political positions of candidates in an election. Beyond offering a costeffective alternative to surveys, this method pr...
متن کاملSpatial Correlation Testing for Errors in Panel Data Regression Model
To investigate the spatial error correlation in panel regression models, various statistical hypothesizes and testings have been proposed. This paper, within introduction to spatial panel data regression model, existence of spatial error correlation and random effects is investigated by a joint Lagrange Multiplier test, which simultaneously tests their existence. For this purpose, joint Lagrang...
متن کاملRecognising Multidimensional Euclidean Preferences
Euclidean preferences are a widely studied preference model, in which decision makers and alternatives are embedded in d-dimensional Euclidean space. Decision makers prefer those alternatives closer to them. This model, also known as multidimensional unfolding, has applications in economics, psychometrics, marketing, and many other fields. We study the problem of deciding whether a given prefer...
