Voting Experiments cover

This book presents a collection of papers illustrating the variety of "experimental" methodologies used to study voting. Experimental methods include laboratory experiments in the tradition of political psychology, laboratory experiments with monetary incentives, in the economic tradition, survey experiments (varying survey, question wording, framing or content), as well as various kinds of field experimentation. Topics include the behavior of voters (in particular turnout, vote choice, and strategic voting), the behavior of parties and candidates, and the comparison of electoral rules.

“Volume includes enough experimental research to make readers think twice about a decision to move to a multiparty state. … book has much to teach readers who hope to preserve their self-interest by contemplating a move from a dual-party system to a multi-party system. Contributors to Voting Experiments have defined most of their theoretical concepts clearly enough for readers who are not familiar with the disciplinary language found in political science and economics to be able to follow their arguments.” (Theresa A. Thorkildsen, PsycCRITIQUES, Vol. 62 (11), March, 2017)
