Retrospective
Voting and
the Politics of Natural Disasters
 |
My
research on retrospective voting explores how citizens evaluate
government performance and the social consequences of this voting
behavior. I have specifically focused on two questions: (1) What is the
normative benchmark for how voters should assess elected officials
given that sometimes voters can be too responsive to events and policy
outcomes; and (2) How does retrospective voting affect social welfare
via policymaking? |
