Expressive vs. Instrumental Motivation of Turnout, Partisanship and Political Learning

Research output: Contribution to Book/Report types › Chapter › peer-review

Abstract (may include machine translation)

An exciting recent development in theories of voting is the increasing formalization of the difference between electoral outcomes under instrumental and expressive models of voting. Although the relevant literature concentrates on the problem of turnout, the choice between these models has to be confronted with respect to every aspect of voting behavior, including party choice (Brennan and Buchanan 1984) and the information-processing activities that shape choices (cf. Downs 1957; Popkin 1991).
