- W83067505 abstract "Abstract Why turnout levels vary so considerably between countries remains a puzzle in the literature. In recent years, many scholars have moved beyond the exclusive focus on individual-level factors to examine how institutions affect voter participation. However, a contextual factor that has been largely overlooked in the literature is the role of the state involvement in the economy. In this paper, we attempt to redress this gap by examining the impact of welfare spending on voter participation. High levels of education tend to lower the costs associated with voting, and we therefore expect turnout to be higher in welfare states where mass education is provided freely to the citizenry and where resources in general are redistributed more equally. Further, we examine how individual-level patterns of voting vary across different levels of welfare spending. Since voting is less costly for the general population in welfare states, we argue that political information and partisanship are likely to be more important in determining an individual’s likelihood to vote, relative to socio-economic factors such as income. We test these hypotheses using data from Modules 1 and 2 of the Comparative Study of Electoral Systems (CSES), compromising of 57 democratic elections held in 34 countries. First, we look at the aggregate relationships between turnout and the economy. Thereafter, we employ at two-step hierarchical modeling approach to show that the impact of political information and partisanship on turnout vary according to the level of welfare spending. The empirical investigation demonstrates that government welfare spending has a positive effect on turnout and enhances the individual-level effects of information and partisanship." @default.
