Government behaviour

This research area looks at how governments make different types of decisions. At the moment, it only shows my work on how democratic institutions use vote trading. However, I am also working in understanding how democratic governments influence media, and how the media can oversaturate the decision-making process of public entities through their publications. These works will be published here soon.

Quantifying vote trading through network reciprocity

Published on: 2016

Our aim with this paper was to create the first method to estimate vote trading in congresses using roll call data. We develop a network approach and succeed at providing the first large-scale estimates of vote trading and validating our results with previous micro-level studies.
