Does Segregation Nurture the Sweden Democrats? The Political Economy of Segregation
نویسنده
چکیده
This thesis studies the relationship of cultural and economic segregation with politics. Based on a theoretical model where the provision of a public good depends on how far apart voters are in terms of preferences, it is suggested that the support for the Sweden Democrats (Sverigedemokraterna) to some extent is driven by segregation. Using municipal level data on incomes and namesday names in zip code areas an index of segregation is created in order to test this hypothesis. The results are inconclusive but there is an indication of a negative association between multidimensional segregation and the election results for the Sweden Democrats.
