| Title | Economic voting in post-communist Romania. The case of the 2000 and 2004 elections. |
| Summary | The aim of this paper was that of carrying out an analysis of the voting behavior of the Romanian public. The research question posed was whether economic evaluations shape the vote in Romania. Moreover the role of education and perceived income within this process was assessed and finally, the make-up of the perceptions of the national economy was examined. The analysis was carried out on the individual level by the use of survey data collected before the 2000 and 2004 parliamentary elections. The data was analyzed using binary logistic regressions, log linear analysis and linear regressions. The results show that the Romanian electorate tends to utilize retrospective evaluations of the national economy when casting their vote but this practice not directly influenced by the level of education. Finally, it has also been determined that the personal financial situation and the perceived state of the local economy do influence the way the national economy is perceived. |
