In this book voter behavior is analyzed from an economist's point
of view. The influence of an economy on voter behavior is
investigated and this behavior is analyzed in the perspective
commonly used by economists. Econom(etr)ic tools are applied in the
analyses. The book contains empirical analyses linking demographic
variables to voter turnout and party choice using cross-section
data for the Netherlands. Attention is focused on whether turnout
and party choice decisions are taken sequentially or simultaneously
by voters. An empirical test supports the former. Using these
results, behavioral models of party choice and voter turnout are
developed. Existing econometric analyses of voting behavior are put
on a more solid theoretical footing. In both models a group
perspective is used, in line with increased attention for this
perspective in economics and political science. Empirical
applications of the party choice model allow for an estimation of
relative preferences for public goods, using the revealed
preference mechanism provided by voting (intention). An alternative
method for detecting these preferences, a new survey design, is
discussed as well. In the turnout model, attention is fo- cused on
the role of "civic duty" in a group context.
