Economy and the Vote - Brug, Wouter van der (Universiteit van Amsterdam) a EijK, Cees van der (University of Nottingham) a Franklin, Mark (European University Institute, Florence)

This book estimates the effects of economic conditions on the behaviour of individual voters and on the outcomes of 42 elections in 15 countries. The conventional wisdom that poor economic conditions hurt governing parties is too simplistic and it does not hold for junior parties in coalition governments.
