| Tiivistelmä: | There is not much causal evidence on the effect of economic and policy outcomes on voting behavior. This article uses randomized outcomes from a school choice lottery to examine if lottery outcomes affect voting behavior in a school board election. The results show that losing the lottery has no significant impact on overall voting behavior, but among white families with above median income and prior voting history, lottery losers were significantly more likely to vote than lottery winners. Finally, the empirical results led support to models of expressive and retrospective voting, where likely voters are motivated to vote by past negative policy outcomes. |
